    this is a range-height cross section of a large hailstorm (supercell) in Mississippi last night. There is an overhang of the huge reflectivity, indicating a large updraft, since it was a supercell. I am doing this because I re-downloaded the GRLevel2AE 21-day trial. (again) and I might as well post something from the 3D capabilities. (I probably won't pay for GRLevel2AE)

    It has been windier than average, near me. This reanalysis plot shows that the 925mb wind was 4m/s (8 knots) higher than average. The 925mb winds usually mix to the surface in the daytime/afternoon, so that's a good indicator that the surface wind has been 4-8 knots above average. I don't know if any particular data-system uses the NWS monthly climate-F6 data to find out abnormal wind speeds. (I've never heard of a calculation like that.)

    The Dust Bowl coincided with too many La Nina/neutral winters, By my inexact calculations, a double El Nino helped finally wetten up the central part of the country before WWII. And then of course they changed the farming practices and planted trees for windbreaks. By the way, the last storm (March 20th) picked up dirt from the Plains and deposited it on my car through the light rain.
