Kmlwx Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 trajectory for that cell is ominous Thoughts on it? Ian and others citing almost no instability up here. I feel like what sometimes happens is it gets absorbed into the line itself but maybe not with this speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuddz Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thoughts on it? Ian and others citing almost no instability up here. I feel like what sometimes happens is it gets absorbed into the line itself but maybe not with this speed. It's got a long way to go but with the northern end of the line firing in a lower CAPE environment, I would expect it to die off quickly. Still has to hold a meso for quite some time before it gets close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still has to hold a meso for quite some time before it gets close. I guess one thing it has going for it is that sharp temp gradient. Riding right along where those warmer temps go to.

Kmlwx Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 This stuff really has congealed. Will probably spell the death of any longer track tornado threat - but spin ups still possible within the line. Guess it's possible something manages to isolate itself again but linear seems to be the name of the game at this point. Seems the rotation markers are all very sharp wind shifts.

NorthArlington101 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Honestly, I can't even tell why those parts of the line are warned, I don't see much if any rotation atm. Are they warned just incase the line drops a quick spin up? EDIT: I mean the northern two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they warned just incase the line drops a quick spin up? EDIT: I mean the northern two. It's more a sharp wind shift so something could briefly spin up. Tho higher tilts do look a TOUCH more interesting. Also heavily populated area so probably also a bit of cya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, no big spinnies, but there's defintiely a shear zone or something there so it's probably a CYA in case it tightens and drops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
