jojo762 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Any thoughts on tomorrow? I haven't gotten an opportunity to look at tomorrow too in-depth yet, convective evolution tonight and tomorrow morning obviously play a big role convective development tomorrow afternoon, but what kind of potential environment are we looking at?

Stebo Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Couplet on the Texas storm is getting very strong. Might be about to produce a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some decent parameters tomorrow, biggest issues besides morning convection is storm mode. However, if a discrete cell can get going and absorb any OFB from the morning MCS, we're in business. Reminds me a little bit of 5/20/13 ingredient wise and spatial wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye05 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Interestingly, no significant CC drop yet I'm sure something is on the ground there. Doesn't always show up, even with strong tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanLarsen34 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Figures that the most intense couplet of the day occurs well outside the high risk area today. This storm in Texas is an absolute beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
