HillsdaleMIWeather Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 And what about it is bad? Please do tell. BTW, you shouldn't be posting pay site graphics without permission. For surface winds they just divide the upper level winds by a set number for gusts, take the sustained wind number x 1.5 Also, they allow posting during major events to a certain degree.

Gusts may be different I guess...obviously certain situations have a higher gusts to sustained ratio than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Euro showing 80-85mph winds just off the deck at 900mb over a decent chunk of eastern NE early Wednesday evening. May be a bit overdone, but extraordinary nonetheless. Don't think I've ever seen winds that strong at that level before over land. Using Wunderground.com for the Euro-- I see 28 knot sfc winds in Nebraska. It's about 50-60kt at 850mb (as per College of Dupage). This shows potential for gale force gusts on the cool side to the storm. 00z GFS has 30kt at the surface and 40-50kt at 925mb in KS and NE on the cool side of the storm. I was thinking that this thread was mainly concerned about severe weather in the warm sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlover2 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Text for above day 3 DAY 3 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0232 AM CST MON NOV 09 2015 VALID 111200Z - 121200Z ...THERE IS AN ENH RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS OF MO...IL...SW IND...WRN KY...NW TN AND NRN AR... ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS THE GREAT PLAINS...MS VALLEY...OH VALLEY AND TN VALLEY OUTSIDE THE ENHANCED RISK AREA... ...THERE IS A MRGL RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE GREAT PLAINS...MS VALLEY...OH VALLEY AND TN VALLEY OUTSIDE THE SLIGHT RISK AREA... ...SUMMARY... SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE GREAT PLAINS WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD INCREASE BY AFTERNOON AS THUNDERSTORMS WITH WIND DAMAGE AND TORNADOES MOVE QUICKLY EASTWARD ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD REACH THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS BY EVENING. ...SRN AND CNTRL PLAINS/MS VALLEY/OH AND TN VALLEYS... A VIGOROUS UPPER-LEVEL SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE QUICKLY EWD ACROSS THE GREAT PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY. STRONG DIFFLUENCE...STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND IMPRESSIVE SHEAR PROFILES ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXIT REGION OF A 95 TO 110 KT MID-LEVEL JET WILL MAKE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WEDNESDAY MORNING FROM SE NEB SWD ACROSS ERN KS AND POSSIBLY INTO THE ARKLATEX. LARGE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THIS CORRIDOR. AS THE UPPER-LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES QUICKLY EWD DURING THE DAY...A COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE RAPIDLY EWD WITH THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY ALONG THE FRONT FROM SRN IA SWD ACROSS WRN MO INTO WRN AR. ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO REMAIN WEAK...THE FAST EWD MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM ALONG WITH VERY STRONG LARGE-SCALE ASCENT AND IMPRESSIVE WIND FIELDS SHOULD RESULT IN AN ENHANCED WIND DAMAGE THREAT WITH CELLS AND BOWING LINE-SEGMENTS THAT DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT. THE CURRENT THINKING IS THAT A NARROW LINE OF STORMS WILL RAPIDLY ORGANIZE AND MOVE QUICKLY EWD INTO THE MS VALLEY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WHERE A SUBSTANTIAL WIND DAMAGE THREAT IS EXPECTED. TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER ROTATING CELLS EMBEDDED IN THE LINE. THE TORNADO THREAT IS MORE CONDITIONAL DUE TO THE MARGINAL QUALITY OF THE MOIST SECTOR. AS THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH BECOMES NEGATIVELY-TILTED AND THE MID-LEVEL JET MOVES INTO THE MID MS VALLEY WEDNESDAY EVENING...A WIND DAMAGE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE EWD INTO THE OH AND TN VALLEYS. AN ENHANCED WIND DAMAGE THREAT WILL BE POSSIBLE AS FAR EAST AS SW IND...WRN KY AND NW TN WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH THE THREAT BECOMING ISOLATED DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. A FEW TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE DURING THE EVENING. ..BROYLES.. 11/09/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxDanny Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The NAM continues to intrigue me with cellular activity ahead of the main line very late Wednesday evening. I've tried to ignore it the last few runs, but given the favorable shear and marginal lapse rates, I am not sure if we don't get a few surprises further north. Such an anemic warm sector.... Going to be interesting to see how many showers get a blanket warning for 60 MPH winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClicheVortex2014 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 IWX is extremely worried about damaging showers, I wouldn't be surprised to see a High Wind Warning. I don't think damaging showers would warrant a high wind warning. I think high wind warnings are for instances where there's no precipitation. SPC has been doing a great job keeping people updated via social media. I see that they posted their severe outlook on Facebook every morning so far.

You're not seeing things, though these cells are generally out ahead of the sfc instability axis per the model. There is some MUCAPE though.

Yeah, 4km NAM isn't that good at this range. It tends to handle precip incorrectly. I'd take it with a grain of salt... or even less than that.

Hoosier Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 KC has had some pretty good discussions THE FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO THE DAY TIME HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN SOLID AGREEMENT REGARDING TRACK, TIMING, AND INTENSITY OF THE IMPRESSIVE MID LEVEL NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH. AT THE SURFACE AN EQUALLY AS IMPRESSIVE SURFACE CYCLONE WILL FORM AS THE SYSTEM EJECTS OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE HIGH/CENTRAL PLAINS. SURFACE WINDS WILL RESPOND WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND 20 MPH, AND GUSTS PERHAPS REACHING 30 TO 35 MPH AT TIMES. DEPENDING ON HOW WELL IT MIXES THROUGH THE DAY SEEING AS THOUGH 850 MB WINDS WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 60 TO 70 MPH, IT'S CONCEIVABLE THAT EVEN STRONGER WINDS WILL MIX TO THE SURFACE. FOR NOW, THAT SCENARIO SEEMS UNLIKELY CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF ANTICIPATED CLOUD COVER SHOULD LIMIT THAT MIXING. WHILE GOOD GULF MOISTURE IS ANTICIPATED TO SURGE NORTHWARD IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING TROUGH THE DURATION FOR WHICH THE MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT IS RATHER LIMITED, WHICH MIGHT PUT THE QUALITY OF MOISTURE IN SOME QUESTION, AND ULTIMATELY MITIGATE SOME OF THE INSTABILITY POTENTIAL FOR WEDNESDAY. FURTHER LIMITING INSTABILITY WOULD BE THE AFOREMENTIONED CLOUD COVER. AT ANY RATE, NAM CONTINUES TO INSIST ON ML CAPE VALUES APPROACHING 500 TO 1000 J/KG BUILDING INTO THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON. MODELS AGREE ON THE SURFACE CYCLONE PRODUCING A RATHER TIGHT DRY LINE RUNNING N/S FROM ROUGHLY KFNB SOUTHWARD THROUGH KTOP AND INTO KTUL BY 18Z WED. THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THIS SURFACE BOUNDARY IS STILL TO BE DETERMINED, BUT GIVEN THE AGREEMENT OF THE MODELS ON PLACEMENT IN EASTERN KANSAS, WILL GO WITH THAT FOR NOW THEN REFINE. WITH THE DRY LINE VIRTUALLY ON THE DOORSTEP OF THE CWA BY MID DAY IT WOULD PUT VIRTUALLY ALL OF EASTERN KANSAS AND WESTERN/CENTRAL MISSOURI AT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS ON WEDNESDAY. THIS DRYLINE/PAC FRONT SHOULD BE RATHER PROGRESSIVE AND PUSH THROUGH THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. BUT AS THIS BOUNDARY PROGRESSES EASTWARD IT WILL LIKELY INITIATE STORMS, WHICH COULD HAVE PLENTY OF FUEL TO BECOME SEVERE. AS FOR THE THE PARAMETERS SURROUNDING THIS EVENT...THE TROUGH ITSELF AND ITS LOW LEVEL FEATURES ARE RATHER IMPRESSIVE. WHILE THE WIND PROFILE LACKS AN OPTIMAL VEERING-WITH-HEIGHT PATTERN THE SPEED ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO DEEP LAYER SHEAR(0-6 KM) OF AROUND 80 TO 90 KTS. GIVEN PROGGED 850 WINDS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 KTS AND 500 MB WINDS OF 90 TO 110 KTS THIS AMOUNT OF SHEAR SEEMS REALISTIC. AREAS OF FAR NORTHERN MISSOURI, WITHIN THE NE QUAD OF THE SURFACE LOW COULD SEE GOOD TURNING WITH HEIGHT, AS SURFACE WINDS WILL BE BACKED TO THE SE AND MID LEVEL WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH. INSTABILITY IS STILL TO BE DETERMINED, AGAIN DUE TO THE CONCERNS DETAILED ABOVE WITH MOISTURE QUALITY AND CLOUD COVER. SHOULD THE NAM BE CORRECT WE COULD SEE AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-70 TO REACH 500 TO 1000 J/KG OF MLCAPE, WHILE AREAS IN NORTHERN MISSOURI COULD SEE 1000 TO 1500 J/KG OF MLCAPE. GIVEN THE INCREDIBLE SHEAR IT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH SHEAR FOR THE LOW INSTABILITY AND STORMS COULD GET SHEARED APART. HOWEVER, WITH THE HIGHER END OF THE INSTABILITY ENVELOPE, AS IS INDICATED BY THE NAM THE CAPE/SHEAR RELATIONSHIP WOULD BE CONDUCIVE TO NUMEROUS SEVERE STORMS ON WEDNESDAY. SHOULD THE INSTABILITY REACH VALUES CONDUCIVE FOR ORGANIZED STORM FORMATION SUPERCELLS AND LINE SEGMENTS CAPABLE OF ALL HAZARDS WOULD BE POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY. STORM MOTION WILL BE LUDICROUS, AS HODOGRAPHS PROG STORMS TO BE MOVING TO THE NORTH/NORTHEAST AT 50 TO 70 MPH. EVEN RIGHT MOVING STORMS WOULD BE MOVING 50 TO 60 MPH. EVEN THOUGH ALL HAZARDS ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT FORM WED, STRONG WINDS OVER 60 MPH WOULD PROBABLY BE THE MOST LIKELY HAZARD TO OCCUR. TORNADOES AND HAIL ARE ALSO POSSIBLE, BUT THE HAIL CONCERNS MIGHT BE MINIMIZED BY THE LACK OF INSTABILITY AND THE TORNADO CONCERNS WILL HINGE ON MESOSCALE INFLUENCES AND STORM-SCALE INTERACTIONS.

Stebo Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 ...but it will handle and resolve convective/thunderstorm mode better than the other models we can look at. And it has the backing of the 12km NAM with the look of discrete convection. Hell even the GFS in the vv fields at 850 and 700 have the look of discrete storms during the afternoon.

cyclone77 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Always nice to have the storm still strengthening (quite quickly at that) during the event. Shear vectors are pointing 90 degrees away from the arcing dryline surge. Very strong vorticity advection. Can definitely see why the high-res models are keeping things fairly discrete through early evening. Pretty impressive given such strong forcing.
