samadamsuk Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Wow... that's a surprise! Dew points and LCL's don't look to support a TN at all, although a decent amount of ESRH. Seems like the big days are busting and the write off's are producing! - what is it with cold fronts undercutting and storms lining out this spring ? My first post by the way - hi from the UK!

samadamsuk Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hey thanks Indystorm, appreciate the welcome. I think I'd be playing se OK tomorrow, moving in to C/S AR - ingredients don't seem to be stacked perfectly to me, but doesn't look to be a cold front race this time atleast!

Stebo Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Looks like this run of the NAM actually breaks out convection between 22-03Z also a bit higher on the dew points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettjrob Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'm seeing absolutely nothing on the 12-km or 3-km NAM through 03z. Looks like the s/w slows down by a couple hours more to put the nail in the coffin... classic. Great way to send off low-level moisture for the next 8-10 days.

Not to mention you have been saying watch the globals for initiation which they do initiate. As for the NAM is will too, look at the VV fields there is ascent there at 00z and 03z, just because it doesn't show a string of pearls doesn't mean the cap will hold firm.

I don't see anything significant really... 3km NAM shows some light radar returns along the WF in SE OK between 23-02Z... thats about it in the warm-sector.

Great way to send off low-level moisture for the next 8-10 days. 3km NAM doesn't convect through 03z and dew-points are basically a wash compared to earlier runs. Less northward extent with 60+ dew-points, but a sharp gradient near the Red River. The parameter space is much more favorable from southeastern MO into KY, but initiation could either be too early, just right or too late depending on just how soon the cap breaks and if early day convection throws a wrench. The biggest red flag is the 850mb jet, which is essentially non-existent west of the "tree line" from E TX to the Ozarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I will say Saturday is looking real interesting on this run of the NAM since Friday doesn't do a whole lot and anything that does form lifts off NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unidirectional wind fields above 1km and with greater low-level speed shear than deep layer shear, anything that spins discretely would be very short lived. Ugly 500mb wind trajectory given 850-700mb winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unidirectional profiles from 800mb on up FTW.. Saturday is a good day in the low-levels, but mid and upper levels will probably be meh given the significant amplification of the trough... Also expect widespread warmsector convection, but we'll see what other 00Z models say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still do think there would be a tor potential though especially in Eastern OK/SE KS/SW MO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 What an April train wreck given what was a very promising start to the severe season through March. We may not only manage to have a flat late April (a period which generally produces at least one significant tornado event, even in most down years), but botch a large scale pattern that had so much potential. Bring on May. Not early May either, because that, as Brett eluded to, looks like a fail as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Quote Looks like a pretty strong signal for widespread convective contamination at the very least with that meridional jet and impressive UL divergence. No matter how many tornado emojis Reed Timmer puts out, or what the TorCon is, I think the deadliest issue on Saturday will be flash flooding for portions of AR/MO. PWATS around 2" and training storms will be a huge issue. Vomit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hey on the plus side the added soil moisture can't hurt for later in the season with moisture transport and evapotranspiration. Gotta make sure of something at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
