ConfusedKitten Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 That was pretty crazy, lots of heavy rain and lightning. Looks like all the wind and hail stayed to the North but I'm not about to complain, that was wilder than 90% of the storms last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I must say, it's both pretty sad and and impressive when the best lightning storm we've seen in at least 5 years comes in February of all months. I'd say about 90% of the strikes (and they were frequent) were cloud-to-ground, which had become exceedingly rare around here until today. Hopefully, the impressive mid-level lapse rates we're working with today is a sign of things to come for the heart of severe weather season (for once).

snowlover2 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Quote Mesoscale Discussion 0205 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0456 PM CST Fri Feb 24 2017 Areas affected...Southern Lower MI...IN...and western OH Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 37... Valid 242256Z - 250030Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 37 continues. SUMMARY...Mainly a large hail and damaging wind threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm Watch 37. The prospect for a downstream watch into western OH in the next hour or two is unclear. DISCUSSION...Convection has recently intensified within a pre-frontal confluence band across eastern IN and western OH (in/near eastern portions of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 37). Farther west, thunderstorms remain disorganized along an eastward advancing cold front in southern Lower MI and western/central IN. With only modest surface heating and dewpoints in the low to mid 50s, instability remains weak (MLCAPE generally at or below 500 J/kg) even with steep mid-level lapse rates present. Within mid-level winds forecast to continue strengthening through the early evening hours with the approach of an upper trough from the west, there is some chance that the pre-frontal line may continue strengthening as it moves into western OH even given the thermodynamic limitations. Large hail and strong to locally damaging winds would be the main threats. A downstream watch may need to be considered if the pre-frontal convection continues to intensify over the next hour or two. Large hail and damaging winds remain possible with thunderstorms along the cold front within Severe Thunderstorm Watch 37, although low-level winds ahead of the cold front have veered to southwesterly, limiting convergence along the front. The possibility for a tornado or two in the short term may be slightly higher near a warm front draped southwest-northeast across southern Lower MI where effective SRH around 250 m2/s2 resides. ..Gleason.. 02/24/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with the amount of CG I was seeing coming into work for a storm over 10 miles away, even now I am still seeing occasional lightning on the backside of the storms to my south and east. As for the lapse rates, I think you have a point, the source region this year looks to be pretty pristine with respect to the EML with great lapse rates. Could really lead to a volatile spring especially if we remain active like we have most of the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 DTX's sounding is below. While how impressive it is goes without saying, what stands out the most is the significant cap still in place around 800mb. It makes you wonder how much stronger the initial round of storms could have been if that cap wasn't there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combination of things seems like it messed up the tornado potential. Wonder how it would've gone with a deepening low and a bit more moisture. About 2 dozen severe reports so far. Not impressive on its face but for the geographic area in the month of February, not awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
