OceanStWx Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think we're missing a little bit more moisture. Some dew points have mixed out into the 50s now, and I think that is enough to keep these from digging in. But they are in the low 60s ahead of this warned line, so things could still ramp up.

Also we'll have the near-sunset window when instability is still pretty good and diurnal mixing wanes a bit and low level shear ramps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Good point, that does seem to be main issue hindering these from taking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, winds were only supposed to keep ramping up aloft into the evening. Just a hair off from what I've seen on radar and video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
