I could see this thing staying on the ground for a good while.

Obviously some wonky pixels that tight to the RDA, but I feel pretty comfortable with a Vr shear around 85 knots for a time. That's legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 8 minutes ago, SouthernNJ said: Circulation approaching Carbondale, not warned currently, but it is with a cyclic supercell. Another supercell is west of Hopkinsville KY, on the KY/TN state line, and may get warned shortly. Not sure why they waited until it was confirmed to re-warn it. Additionally, the Hopkinsville KY storm is now warned also, and could turn into a monster soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
