andyhb Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 SPC has highlighted the day 5/6 period with a 15% risk area in response to the consistent model guidance of a large upper level trough amplification along the west coast at the end of this week. As mentioned in the medium range thread, a lead, negatively tilted shortwave looks to pivot northeastward across the Plains on Monday 3/7 with a strong southerly low level jet and ample vertical shear for storms present east of the dryline. Depth/quality of BL moisture return would probably be my biggest question mark for this first day, although with a pretty robust EML progged to advect over the region, it won't take a lot of low level moisture to destabilize sufficiently. I do like the prospect of the left exit region of the upper jet plowing right over top of the dryline at a relatively favorable time as it sits now. As for Tuesday 3/8, the main upper level low looks to lumber eastward (and quite far south) along the US/Mexico border with a potent upper jet overspreading E TX and the Arklatex. Based on pattern recognition, these type of systems with surface lows centered near the Rio Grande Valley tend to cause a lot of problems in this area, perhaps because their flow orientation both allows EML advection (which is being shown) off the Mexican Plateau and also because it prevents convective junk from affecting the highest threat areas in the morning. With 7+ C/km mid level lapse rates projected by the Euro to overspread mid/upper 60s dewpoints, aforementioned areas will have a chance to destabilize strongly through the afternoon with strong wind fields overlapping and nearly southeasterly flow at the surface really ramping up 0-1 km shear values. Would be a bit concerned about the relatively meridional flow in the mid levels and whether the orientation of forcing is more parallel to the boundary, but it is important to note that we still have quite a strong southwesterly upper jet component ejecting ahead of the boundary that should encourage ascent. From what I've seen from the Euro, its precip signal does not look very linear for Tuesday until later in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoonman1 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 An important point I've seen made is that the NAM is already showing much more moisture for Sunday evening than the GFS. I know it's far out, but seems to me GFS tends to underestimate moisture. Could get pretty interesting if NAM is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reimer Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Until the storm systems actually get into the upper-air network I wouldn't place much faith in any model. Once it hits the upper level network I'm sure we'll see some drastic changes. These early season events rarely perform as advertised in the Plains.

andyhb Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Pretty decent sounding E of Lawton valid 00z Tuesday from the most recent GFS. Keep in mind this is generally the quietest solution (or at least has been compared to the Euro/UK over the past cycles). As I mentioned earlier, would be a bit leery of moisture depth, although the GFS has been fumbling with that for almost this entire winter (and frankly before that) so we'll see what actual quality the BL is. Also, can't help but laugh at this BL temperature profile at 18z Tuesday in SE TX. Even with clouds, it is not going to be 71 there at that time.

JasonOH Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The 12z NAM looses its mind for Monday. Doesn't appear to convect, but there is great cape, marginal shear, and a cap that appears to break off the dryline based on model soundings. It's nice to finally see some good lapse rates showing, even on the GFS. I think this may be a good day to chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 SPC DESPITE A PROBABLE LARGE SWATH OF CONVECTION ONGOING AT12Z/TUE...BOTH THE ECMWF/GFS INDICATE GREATER MUCAPE WITHIN THE WARMSECTOR ON D5 VERSUS D4 GIVEN RICHER MARITIME TROPICAL AIR SPREADINGINLAND FROM THE WRN GULF. IT IS PLAUSIBLE THAT IN THE WAKE OFEARLY-DAY CONVECTION...ROBUST DIABATIC HEATING COULD OCCUR ACROSS STX. THIS MAY SUPPORT ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS TUEEVENING/NIGHT.

andyhb Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Dewpoints are looking really marginal on most of recent model runs and the warm sector has really shrunk in breadth. Thinking the threat on Monday is downtrending as of now. If they could hit 60-62 ahead of the dryline, that would probably be solid, but that doesn't look to be the case right now. Also, things seem to be shifting towards a more veered look with the LLJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to finally see some good lapse rates showing, even on the GFS. I think this may be a good day to chase. NAM uses the BMJ convective parameterization scheme, which is pretty strongly dependent on the presence of mid level moisture. As a result, it performs well for tropical-type convection, but can often miss or be delayed with continental convection. Especially for a day like Monday, which we know will have sparse convection anyway, take NAM precip with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 The threat evolution on Tuesday through Wednesday morning is one of the more bizarre I've seen in this part of the country. The LLJ looks to be outrunning the instability axis for most of the day, but then later in the evening, another shortwave rotates around the main upper low and restrengthens it further west with SE surface winds for the entire period. Could be feasible that we're looking at the potential for supercells both in the early/mid afternoon over SE TX and SW LA and then south-central TX to SW LA again Tuesday night into Wednesday. I highly doubt the boundary layer will become decoupled SE of the triple point and there is strong destabilization throughout in the overnight period in that region. HGX's most recent AFD is pretty nonchalant about the whole thing, which I'm not sure I agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of an S-shape in the hodographs above 700 mb, but otherwise it's pretty darn robust for early March owing to some rather frigid temperatures aloft.

Yeah I thought Monday was going to be the big event... really was looking like a classic event. Not as impressive as it was, but with that said, I don't understand why OUN says the tornado threat will be "very low" when they're expecting supercells. I look at the forecast soundings on NAM and GFS, and don't get me wrong, they aren't that impressive... but it's not what I'd associate with a very low tornado threat when supercells are expected. I'd call it low to low-medium... in SPC terms I'd give it a 5%, and maybe at best, a small patch of 10%. The LCL is ~1100m which is probably seasonably high... but I think that's still low enough so that it's not a deal breaker. What am I missing? Tuesday snuck up on me. Looking nasty on NAM, and nasty on GFS for its standards. Looks like Tuesday's probably gonna be the big day for tornadoes... and I'm curious to see this "massive MCS" that SPC advertised this morning in their outlook.

The 00z NAM sig-tor values are 2+ for sections of Texas on Tuesday. Then again, there is a narrow strip of sig-tor values of 2+ in OK/KS on Monday. I suppose both days could produce a regional tornado outbreak. If I were the SPC, I would call for a slight risk of all hazards on Mon and Tue, as of tonight's data. Remember last year, when a number of potential tornado setups got ruined by early-day convection. Model forecasts of CAPE were wrong wherever the cool temps were. A number of times, that was in central OK. Tornado-chaser frustration for central OK was high, I imagine. I wonder if that will be the trend in 2016.

There were also a couple surprise days, one in May I believe, and one in November, that started out the day as Slight/Enhanced days-- like this will be-- and ended up being high-end days. Although, there were many more days that ended up being duds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo762 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I like the 0-6KM shear vectors we have for monday, yes, they aren't perpendicular to the dryline, but they aren't too shabby. The 00Z 4K NAM is particularly impressive for monday across W OK/SW KS with its CAPE forecast and parameters, the 12K NAM is not quite as robust but is still impressive nonetheless for early march in the plains. The GFS is much less aggressive with instability on monday, really as you would expect from it, it also shows a dryline that is not nearly as sharp as on the 12/4NAM. Purely basing off of the GFS there is not too much to get excited about... But attm, there would appear to be a 3 or 4 hour window along a narrow corridor where a tornado risk could arise with any discrete supercells, counting on there are some. One thing this event could have going for it tornado wise is that there likely will not be a boatload of convection creating deleterious storm interactions. A few things that are not all that impressive is the forecast CAPE in the lowest 3KM, as well as the veered H85 winds, but the 925mb winds are forecasted to be southerly, or slightly backed, and surface winds should have at least some southeast component to them for a period of time... Not a big setup by any means, but like Chinook said, it could be somewhat interesting given the right things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah last spring was frustrating to watch even from Ohio. Hopefully we won't see the same thing this spring. But we've already had a number of impressive outbreaks this year, and it looks like we're in a very active pattern this March.. so maybe things will work out this spring.

What GFS is showing is kinda impressive for its standards. I recall with one or more of the outbreaks recently, GFS held its conservative position almost all the way to the end. This far out, I assume the realistic value to be closer to NAM than GFS until HRRR and RAP get into range. I agree with you and Chinook that this should be a slight risk for all categories... maybe we'll see a strong tornado if a supercell wanders into the 2+ STP area. Leaving to head back to school in less than 12 hours, but I have to stay up to see the new day 2 outlook. Priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just conservative, many times it is just flat out wrong in its depiction of boundary layer thermodynamics and ageostrophic backing near the surface (latter problem is partly due to its resolution).

jojo762 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 For monday, SPC is not very optimistic of much of a tornado threat. Not sure I 100% agree about the "high-based" idea since once you get right off the DL, LCL's lower to around 500-750m. LL moisture is of course an issue though with DP's only progged 55-62 across W OK which seems pretty accurate with upper 40's-lower 50's DP's right now, and upper 50's-lower 60's across TX with pretty meager moisture transport. A veered, and relatively weak LLJ (~30kts over W OK) is also a mitigating factor, the fact that the main core of the LLJ (50-60kts) will also be placed over E OK does not help. ...SOUTHERN PLAINS...GULF MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE A NORTHWARD MARCH ACROSS THE GREATPLAINS TO THE EAST OF THE DRYLINE...WITH MID 50S TO LOW 60SDEWPOINTS ACROSS TX/OK. LOW LEVEL CLOUDINESS IS EXPECTED EAST OF THEDRYLINE...WHICH WILL INHIBIT SURFACE BASED CONVECTION ACROSS MUCH OFCENTRAL/NORTHERN TX INTO CENTRAL/EASTERN OK. BUT STRONG WARMADVECTION ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF STRONGER EML SHOULD ALLOW FORISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS THROUGH THEAFTERNOON/EVENING. HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS ACTIVITY.NEAR THE DRYLINE...BETTER HEATING IS EXPECTED WITH HIGH TEMPERATURESCLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 F. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR ANARROW WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING FORSPARSE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. STEEP LAPSE RATES COUPLED WITH WEAKTO MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STRONG EFFECTIVE SHEAR WOULD SUPPORTSUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY CONCERN. STORMS MAY INITIALLYBE ELEVATED AS THE CAP ERODES...BUT ANY STORM THAT CAN BECOMESURFACE BASED COULD ALSO POSE A DAMAGING WIND THREAT AS WELL. WHILENON-ZERO...THE TORNADO THREAT APPEARS LIMITED BY LACK OF BETTER LOWLEVEL MOISTURE AND EXPECTED HIGHER-BASED NATURE OF THE STORMS.OVERNIGHT...CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT INCREASE NEAREASTERN PORTIONS OF THE PERMIAN BASIN/TX SOUTH PLAINS TO THE EDWARDSPLATEAU AS STRONGER FORCING AND GREATER HEIGHT FALLS ASSOCIATED WITHTHE APPROACHING WESTERN UPPER TROUGH OVERSPREAD THE REGION.

Paulie21 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 18Z NAM continues to easily destabilize post morning convection on Tuesday. Steep low level lapse rates and impressive low level veering before some mid level backing with height (which could pose some problems in storm evolution).Impressive sounding south of Wichita Falls, TX. Plenty of helicity to work with *if* there were to be a right turner in that environment. The shear aspect of Tuesday appears to be consistent within models, however, the main placement of the instability and the orientation to the bulk shear vectors has been variable. dProg/dt seems to be more favorable for some discrete convection.
