I went this past May and saw four tornadoes in Oklahoma and Texas. I didn't think chaser convergence was that awful when we're out there on days with a PDS moderate risk day and a high risk in Oklahoma, but we also respected our storms and stayed a little further than most people. Heard it was bad closer to tornadoes we saw, however. Don't be afraid to chase days with 2-5% tornado risk. Some of more underrated chases happen on those days and you can see amazing structure on some of these storms. It was a lot less stressful chasing LP supercells in New Mexico on 5/22, knowing that we're likely to not see a tornado, than chasing messy storms during 5/18 high risk and lucking into Seiling/Waynoka tornado on a fluke route we took to get there. We also found ourselves in middle of a cell merger with a tornado warning. I wouldn't recommend doing that... at all... I would definitely prefer seeing the tornado from afar but not afraid to get pounded by hail and be right in it. I would chase 5% TOR days! I’ve even thought about IA as a place to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really get downsloped that much there? Obs site is something like 1530'. However, there are mts 3000-4000+ within 10 miles in all directions except due west, where Oquossoc Bald is only 2400. I admit to having no data for places 2000+ in that area, so my downsloping comment was a guess based on topography. I'm no severe weather expert, but I can tell you for a fact that a canopy won't do squat to protect your car from baseball-sized hail. not to mention the wind would blow it away in a second. Totally agree, unless one has a garage in tow. In 1986 I was on a Long Lake cruise aboard the Songo River Queen about 2 months after golf-to-baseball hail had defoliated many acres in the Naples-Sebago area, and the canvas top above the upper deck had several hundred (temporary, I hope) duct tape patches on holes punched by the ice.

dendrite Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Max of 56.5F so far. On a strong radiational cooling night I'm usually good for a 25F drop from the previous day's high. So that would put me close to flirting with my first 32F of the season tomorrow morning. The one caveat would be when the stronger return flow starts kicking in. That will put the kibash on my temp drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it looks like that period is +5 at least I never said anything about it not being warm the next 10 days (expect mon-tue). However, a trough is certainly going to build in the central and eastern US somewhere in the next 2 weeks. All ensembles are showing it and the op GFS is even showing hints of it now.

I’ve even thought about IA as a place to go I was surprised how much hail we took chasing McLean-Wheeler supercell on 5/16/17 even at a safe distance of about 4-5 miles from the tornado. Amazing view of it from higher ground so it was worth being close to the FFD. Haha, even a 5% day in Iowa is worth it. Good mindset to have!

I'm kind of thinking as those temps rise aloft that it just helps us decouple faster. Big drops at sunset tonight. And actually based on satellite, the NE flow is pretty deep, well down into NJ. BML is 60/29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EML can really put a lid on convection, and they don't benefit from a dry line to help force convergence. But they are also closer to the EML source region that places to the east, and so convection can sometimes pop in those places after forcing has passed IA.

Around here it'll probably be MVL and the valley bottom at 700ft near freezing while it's in the 40s at 1500ft. We hit 59F in the valley today off the first 20s of the year this morning and dews are mid-30s, so I would think we are good for another frost/freeze tonight. Tonight should be more widespread I'd think as last night it was mainly northern sections that cleared enough to freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Talk about rapidly losing heat to the clear skies, BML went from 60F to 42F in two hours.
