WxUSAF Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I remember one March/April from several years ago where there were cold core convective showers around. We were in the car on 95 and car thermometer was 48/49 when we got hit by one. Giant huge snowflakes and temp dropped to like 36 in moments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a fun Mar/Apr event a few years back that was a convective graupel shower. Would not be surprised if someone gets that on Saturday. edit - 3/22/2029 Predicting 7 years in advance.

high risk Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 5 hours ago, George BM said: With cold temperature profiles and steep surface to 600mb lapse rates some of the most intense showers on Saturday could contain some graupel despite surface temps reaching 50+F. A rogue lightning discharge or two may even occur should any convection get deep enough. Very clear convective threat with graupel and lightning Saturday. That is an intense upper system coming through at the right time of day - lapse rates are going to be terrific, and freezing levels will be low. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 47 here with a light sprinkle passing through. Disco from Mount Holly for this afternoon- Ahead of the reinforcing cold front passage later on today, scattered showers are expected to develop across the area. The environment will be a bit moisture starved to support any appreciable or particularly widespread convection with PWats only around 0.3-0.4 inches. Nevertheless, guidance remains consistent in showing light scattered QPF, including the CAMs. The HRRR remains the most aggressive CAM with this activity. The shortwave and upper divergence will undoubtedly provide plenty of support for scattered convection, and the cold mid-levels arriving ahead of the surface front will provide very steep lapse rates (7-8C/km) resulting in a couple hundred J/kg of MLCAPE. However, the convection will be battling dry air (owing to lack of any return flow and broad scale downsloping in the westerly surface flow) and I suspect this will hamper the convection`s ability to get very organized or widespread. Given low level lapse rates exceeding 9C/km and cold air aloft (700 mb temps around -15C), any convection that materializes will be capable of producing small hail/graupel, isolated lightning/thunder, and wind gusts perhaps into the 30-40 mph range. Thus, I have maintained a mention of this for the entire forecast area with this update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
