CT Rain Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Still worth watching this late this afternoon. Definitely looks like a localized spike in SRH in parts of SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...you can actually see on the observed OKX sounding that there is some directional shear in place in the lowest couple km and looks like llvl shear does increase a bit later on. while mlvl winds aren't impressive the westerly component to them is the more important factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it always been that way? I could have sworn it used to have a tendency of being too high...or maybe that was the RUC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPC actually adjusted their mesoanalysis page to account for the bias (since the background model is the RAP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting...I knew the background model was the RAP but didn't know they had made adjustments. I think that's why I thought they overdid them b/c I thought at times its cape spit out was too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's done it for a while now. The HRRR can do it once in a while too. I've noticed it mixes too much in some places and it loves to advect unreasonably high td air off the ocean too.

Typhoon Tip Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 terrific clear-air crispy viewing today. i can see very vivid turrets NW -W of me up here on Rt 2. there was a time when i thought to be onto something setting up my HD video and recording these from vantage point, then ... editing to speed up the film later... until, i noticed that there are too many of these to even see in a lifetime on youtube at this point, so why bother. but today would probably be a superb film day for cloud videography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why so little lightning? heights are too high ... storm glaciation density is lower than typical at the altitudes of parcel max, such that polarization gradients are less than ideal. less poles, less arcing...and so forth. best to get big CAPE under a frigid layer above 500 mb ... then we're talkin' Van Der Graaf generator clouds like something out of mid 20th Century cheese-ball sci-fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
