Carvers Gap Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Some much needed rainfall in NE TN/SW VA. @tnweathernutshared with me that part of I-81 were in rough shape in SW VA as one area received like 6-8" of hail. So, in some places...too much of a good thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsty2001 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Attention then turns towards this afternoon and evening as additional convection is expected to redevelop within the warm and humid atmosphere. Temperatures are expected to climb into the 80`s across the area, and dew points will peak in the upper 60`s. This means there will be plenty of moisture for storms to feed off of in the afternoon if convection can get started. Today is a bit different than yesterday`s convection as there isn`t really a significant source of synoptic level forcing to initiate storm development, so determining location and timing of storms is a bit more difficult. Water vapor imagery shows a bit of a moisture boundary from southern Illinois down to northeast TN/southwest VA. This could axis could be one of the forcing mechanisms for storm initiation, especially south of this boundary...In addition to any outflow boundaries left over from the overnight convection moving out of eastern Kentucky. At this point the expect storms to redevelop in the afternoon hours with the strongest solar heating taking place. Forecast soundings and mesoanalysis continue to show ample surface based CAPE of up to 4,000 J/kg in the most aggressive models, and steep mid level lapse rates of over 7-8.5 C/km. Luckily the deep layer shear looks fairly weak, and is mostly uni- directional across our area, which will hopefully limit (but not totally eliminate) tornadic development. An additional surge of storms could move into the area after sunset from stronger storm development over western Kentucky, but still some uncertainty if this will move more into WV or VA. The main threats with storms this afternoon and evening will be Large hail possibly up the size of ping pong balls, and strong straight line winds in excess of 70 mph. In addition storms training over the same location could cause isolated flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas, and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out at this point. Storms will eventually come to an end after sunset and loss of solar energy. Fog will be possible overnight as skies slowly clear out, mainly in areas that receive rainfall from the afternoon storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Boundary is sharpening up on the TN/KY border and drifting north into KY. ARWs were a disaster with the false washout in East Tenn. HRRR and NAM sniffed out the north bias. FV3 was in between - but still wrong! At any rate, action might start from MO to IL before rolling into Kentucky (our Region). Could get going as a nice QLCS. Any sups ahead would offer more rotation risk - esp riding the boundary. Purple dots is MCV aloft. Red line is surface WF / wind shift boundary. Higher dews south are marked by deeper Cu field. However I expect the severe weather mainly Kentucky. Maybe drop into TRI later, but weaker by evening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Boone Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Large hail recorded throughout central and western Lee County last night and this afternoon. Dime size at my home east of Jonesville. Ping pong/ golf ball size Jonesville proper south and west. Trees were downed last night just west of Jonesville. 1-3 inches of rain was recorded within the area as well .

nrgjeff Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Global models point to a late season Mid South setup Tuesday 5/24 and perhaps Tenn. Valley Wednesday 5/25; however, I doubt the latter as low level winds will tend to veer off. Tuesday we have a system with vort max dug into Texas coming out into the Mid South. While it feels late in the season, long-term climo May is still severe weather season. Recent years the South shut down by mid-May. It has not always been that way. Keep in mind Hoosier Alley (not far) gets slammed in mid-May even recent years. Pattern recognition is a little shaky vs recent years with a bowling ball vs open wave; however again, this used to happen. LLJ responds Tuesday, and not veered off trash. We'll see. Late May we don't even have to worry about instability or dewpoints. Anyone step outside? If low level winds respond next week, it's game on! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Sat. May 21: Boundary intersection forecast WSW of MEM this afternoon in the flat Ark. Delta. Technically not our Region, but I'm thinking about chasing it. Boundary intersection is outflow / quasi-cold front, not preferred. Rather have a pre-frontal trough away from the CF. However instability is robust. Also modest LLJ flow is forecast. Upper levels are modest too. In late May that is great with high CAPE. Just the boundary pair is not my preferred combo. CF and WF drawn IL/IN. Yellow is outflow. Magenta is possible boundary intersection forecasts. Idea is just get toward MEM. Normally I go through HSV (few trucks) but probably BNA to offer flexibility if Kentucky pops. Still the best shear looks Ark/Tenn/Miss. General Public notes: This is a low probability event. Bored on a Saturday. Awaiting Gam 4s in NHL and NBA and USFL Sunday. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runman292 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 MRX AFD for Thursday: Discussion: The main concern of the period is the severe weather potential on Thursday. Agreement on timing looks to be a little better with the NAM now coming in slightly faster, which puts it in better agreement with the other models. If the trends hold, this would put our best chances for seeing strong to severe storms from late Thursday morning through Thursday evening. Due to the mean flow being parallel to the cold front, there will be several clusters of storms move through the area throughout the day. Because of this, it`s hard to narrow down the timing of the severe threat. Setup: A quasi-cutoff upper low will make it`s way out of the Great Plains on Thursday and into Western TN by Thursday evening. A strong upper jet associated with the low and will move into our area through the day. Due to the strong upper jet, combined with high pressure anchored off the coastal Carolinas, a moderate to strongly sheared environment will be in place across our area. Soundings show shear values increasing through the day as the upper jet moves further into the area. The NAM is still the most aggressive with shear values, with 0-1km shear of near 40 kts and 0-1km SRH values around 350 m2/s2 which is concerning. The GFS isn`t as excited however. Looking through the CAMs on SPC`s page, all of the members show a few to several 2-5km helicity tracks across our area. This is further indication of the severe/tornadic potential. Again, the main threats with these storms will be damaging winds and few isolated tornadoes. This will likely be a messy event due to several rounds/clusters of storms moving in through the day. In addition to the wind and tornado threat, isolated flooding will also be of concern due to the moderate to heavy rainfall expected with the stronger storms. The atmosphere will be very moist with PW values averaging 1.6 inches, which is at the 90th percentile for BNA sounding climatology. Also, still anticipating 30 to 40 mph wind gusts across the higher terrain of the east TN mountains through the the day Thursday due to the 40kt 850mb jet in place. The severe threat will wind down Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Even before seeing MRX severe discussion, MRX mention of mountain wave means the LLJ will be there. Unless Gulf MCS cuts it off, but looks OK. Dews will be there. It's late May not March; so, MCS does is much less a deal killer here. If Mississippi is 5% Wednesday, Alabama is certainly 5% Thursday. That's some easy pickings. Day 2 update would not surprise me; but, they might wait until Day 1. Thursday the 700 and 500 mb winds are not as straight south as Wed. More SSW. 200 mb is south, so some VBV; but again late season, those minor problems are not deal killers like in March. CAPE looks skinny, esp low levels, so heating will have to over achieve. LI is definitely there; so, just low level CAPE has to come in. Look for pre-frontal trough Bama to East Tenn. Perhaps outflow intersection with it. Today and tonight rain will provide plenty of boundaries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Boundary intersection in Kentucky. Goodie that terrain! Sarcastic. Second chance if Gulf front can lift north enough to intersect pre-frontal trough in Alabama or Georgia. Doubtful. Hoosier Alley is probably the preferred location, but I'm not interested enough to go into their Regional forum, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
