powderfreak Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Had about a half inch in the Stratus on my way out at 9am. Just the summer of soaking rains, haven’t watered the garden yet I don’t think… maybe early on in May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to have been more thunder this year than I have ever heard. If it rains, its a thunderstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the last morning/aftn severe day I can recall. I think we had some sort of EML in place too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge CAPE (2500) for around here, and 50 knots shear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 3 minutes ago, Typhoon Tip said: Gunk failure Despite the cloud we're actually destabilizing fairly well thanks to the steep lapse rates and increasing dewpoints. Hell, 2-6km lapse rates are 7-7.5 C/KM which I think is about as good as any setup we have had this summer. I don't think we'll see much in the way of breaks though.

"Isolated 45-60 mph gusts" Doesn't the text in the graphic seem a bit contradictory than the text of the discussion? Mentions isolated wind gusts 45-60 but then says at least widely scattered wind damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 1 minute ago, Typhoon Tip said: It's certainly true that deltas can offset the CAPE starvation Luckily too setups like today aren't highly dependent on sfc heating and large CAPE. 850 temps today are around like +12C and 925mb temps like +16C? So with this we were always limited into how warm the surface could get today anyways. Mid 70's temps with near mid 60's dews under 6.5 C/KM 700-500 lapse rates is more than enough to provide enough instability to fuel thunderstorms. 30-35 knots of 6km shear with effective bulk shear magnitudes 30-35 knots is more than sufficient for updraft organization. Nothing obviously screaming widespread severe weather but this is more than sufficient for some scattered severe reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
