snowlover2 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 This thread is for discussion of weaker non thread worthy severe threat and medium range potential events. Speaking of which. SPC just recently added an enhanced area for large hail for SE MO and SW IL. Slight risk area surrounds that up to S IL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yes, we're getting some clearing in southern MO. Possibly the enhanced area will get some hailers like they had in OKC area yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I'm wondering if this cell about to cross the MS river into IL south of St. Louis is following some sort of quasi warm front where winds are somewhat backed. Helicity is rather low but shear is good.

snowlover2 Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Could be some severe tomorrow for southern parts of the sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Still quite far out, but the ensemble guidance is honing in on a the potential for a large longwave trough moving into the Central US in the middle of next week and it would certainly have severe potential, possibly into the reaches of this sub-forum. There have been some pretty nutty operational runs the last couple of days for that timeframe, and the CFS chiclets also have had a signal for the 4/16-4/19 period for awhile now. Fits with a -AAM tendency over the next week and a ridge amplification N of Hawaii. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILN keeps talking about the system this Sunday too as potentially watching the track given the further north and west track on Euro and other models latching on to this solution as well. Haven’t paid much attention to it since SPC doesn’t have anything this far north but possibly something to watch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Claridge Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Tonight's 0z NAM and ECMWF are trying to bring mid-60s dewpoints into Ohio for Sunday, though the NAM shows some VBV issues (I don't have access to ECMWF upper-level winds). SPC has a broad ENH risk from GA/AL all the way up to southern Ohio (just south of KCMH). The NAM and ECMWF bring this warm sector further north than the ENH risk, up to at least Mansfield or so (around the north end of the Slight risk or so), and ECMWF gets 60-degree dewpoints as far north as Cleveland. Would expect to see the ENH moved north (to include Dayton and especially Columbus) if NAM and/or ECMWF verify. SPC says damaging winds are the primary threat, though they predict tornadoes will be possible near and west of the Appalachians. I'm slightly skeptical with the VBV issues (and with the GFS being less aggressive into the OH/KY/WV area), but we'll see what happens. This would be with the same system responsible for tomorrow's severe in east Texas and LA/AR (and that is where the bulk of the tornado threat with this system will likely be). The 6z NAM run is a little less aggressive in the Ohio area I would say, with slightly lower dewpoints and lower temperatures, and less EHI present.

andyhb Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Need to start paying attention to Sunday in the Upper Ohio Valley. Incredible soundings for the region coming off the 00z NAM/NAM 3 km and both of them have a string of supercells/bow echoes in the area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliacarolecat Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Columbus, OH now included in the Enhanced region for the latest Day 2 outlook. Will be interesting to see if the initial convention will clear away fast enough for substantial destabilization in the afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Appears to be a severe threat middle of next week for most along and south of I-80. SPC has a day 5 and 6 slight risk outlined for those areas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Already took Wednesday off to facilitate chase possibilities that afternoon due to potential being shown into parts of the upper Midwest (unfortunately my range will still be limited since I couldn't also get Thursday off and work starts at 3AM). Still, if the setup tanks you can blame me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if the initial convention will clear away fast enough for substantial destabilization in the afternoon. Definitely noticed a few models potentially showing a tornado threat for southeastern Ohio (today's 09z RAP, the last few NAM3K runs), and perhaps into central Ohio (especially in the last few NAM runs) as well, that is if some isolated storms can get going. These models show some high EHI values in these areas (and the 12z NAM3K extends high EHI into western PA as well). GFS is much more bearish though. Would like to see some more model consistency, but over the last day or so the models suggesting a potential tornado threat do seem to have reduced the amount of forecasted VBV in the Upper Ohio Valley region.

NTXYankee Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Interesting enough that the HRRR has shifted the low track further west in Indiana now, is a bit more intense, and shows a line of supercells forming in Indiana and moving into a more unstable Ohio during peak heating. Will be interested to see if this is a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Not surprised to see the lack of a marginal for parts of Iowa/southern WI/north IL for tomorrow, as forecasters like to stay consistent day to day. Broyles went with a general thunder for those areas for day2, as he had done on day3, which will be a mistake. In subsequent forecasts a marginal will likely be added by a different forecaster. It's possible a slight might eventually be needed as well, as there is sufficient shear and instability for organized severe. Question is just how much of it. Simulated radar from 3km NAM shows some scattered activity. Nice little vort is well timed, and should provide some additional lift. Surface flow looks to remain fairly backed ahead of the front, with fairly decent shear in the lower 3km. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually looks standard slight risk worthy as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I'd add a 15% hail risk and probably drop the 2% tor. Low-mid 50s dews are the best that can be found today, coupled with mid-upper 70s? That just ain't gon' work. Steep mid level lapse rates between 7.0-7.5 would suggest potential for marginally severe hail with stronger storms though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
