What's really interesting is the different directions mid vs. low level clouds are moving... the former is moving westerly, and the latter southerly. That's shear.

csnavywx Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Almost pristine airmass downstream off the Blue Ridge. Weak capping and 45-50kt of eff. shear. 30-33K delta theta-e between mixed layer and mid-levels. My typical cutoff for severe is 25K, but can be lower with this kind of shear. The faster that cold pool develops and deepens, stronger it will get. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Looked like we had a chance for a second. Looked ominous, then it blew through as a big bag of nothing. Lots of thunder, little wind, and nothing but a few minutes of moderate rain....not even downpour. This place is the absolute death of precip.
