[quote:CowgirlK:MV8yMTk0NjM0XzM3MTYxMzkwX0YxRDQ0OTQ3] MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0400 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0236 PM CDT MON APR 08 2013 AREAS AFFECTED...ERN CO INTO WRN KS AND SWRN NEB CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE VALID 081936Z - 082200Z PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT SUMMARY...AT LEAST ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM OVER FAR ERN CO ...AND MAY MATURE AND MOVE INTO WRN KS AND SWRN NEB. DISCUSSION...PRESSURE FALLS CONTINUE AT AROUND 1.0 - 1.2 MB/HR ACROSS ERN CO AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO RISE AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ATTEMPTS TO RETURN NWWD. THE SURFACE THETA-E AXIS WAS LOCATED FROM WRN OK INTO SERN CO JUST S OF A RELATIVELY COOL STRATUS-INDUCED COLD POCKET FROM GCK TO DDC. GRADUAL HEATING SHOULD CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION...AND DESPITE LOWER DEWPOINTS IN THE 30S AND 40S OVER ERN CO...INSTABILITY WILL STILL BE PRESENT. VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS AREAS OF CU BENEATH BROKEN CIRRUS NEAR LHX AND EXTENDING NWD TOWARD AKO. ALTHOUGH CONVERGENCE IS WEAK...A FEW UPDRAFTS SHOULD GROW INTO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL. WHEN THIS OCCURS...THE BACKED SELY LOW LEVEL WINDS SHOULD ALLOW CELLS TO TURN EWD AND MOVE ACROSS THE KS BORDER. HODOGRAPHS WILL BE QUITE FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS...WITH MAXIMUM HAIL SIZE ESSENTIALLY LIMITED BY AVAILABLE MOISTURE. IF STORMS CAN PERSIST INTO THE 50 F DEWPOINT AIR...VERY LARGE HAIL WOULD BE LIKELY. A MARGINAL TORNADO THREAT COULD ALSO MATERIALIZE BUT ONLY IF CELLS CAN MAINTAIN STRENGTH INTO THE LOWER LCL ENVIRONMENT BEFORE CAPPING DESTROYS THEM. ..JEWELL/THOMPSON.. 04/08/2013 [/quote]
Original Message
I began this thread to warn folks about the first big storm of the spring season. Rather than start a new thread every time we have a threat of severe weather, I would like to keep this thread running as a sort of a GLP "go to" weather place for everyone.
If we keep weather alerts in one place, weather watchers, helptards, and anyone else who is interested, will have a virtual home to share links, info, and discuss whatever mother nature may throw our way.
I will update the thread daily and keep weather related links on front page.
