  1. Marine layer ugh. Hate long Island this time of year.
  2. Nice rain squall currently coming through. Gusted to around 40. 47 five minutes ago now 38.
  3. 1.5" mod snow. Wind marginal, but gusty. SPC mesoscale analysis is interesting. A lot of stuff pointing to east solution. 2 hour pressure change near kitty hawk with 850-700 frontogenesis north of the pressure change south and east of ACK.
  4. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=OKX-N0Q-1-6 Website for corr coefficient.
  5. I'm back! This event looks like a little snow to start before changeover. This system is a strung out mess.
  6. Nice explanation. I have a few more questions 1) Can we use MUCAPE during the afternoon with no inversion? For this example this meteorologist mentioned MUCAPE with the morning sounding http://ryanhanrahan....xed-layer-cape/ but then went on to MLCAPE. 2) Does the remnant MUCAPE(elevated instability) become MLCAPE when the cap breaks? 3) Shouldn't MLCAPE be the most unstable because of the accessibility for a parcel to reach the available energy, because of the steep low and mid level lapse rates? 4) What makes MUCAPE more unstable then MLCAPE? Thanks for answering these additional questions.
  7. Hey all, I need help with the difference with these parameters and there difference in significance. The SPC description is not helping. MUCAPE the way I understand it is the instability of a parcel needed to get to it's Level of Free Convection MLCAPE the way I understand it is the instability a parcel has when it has reached it's Level of Free Convection. Thanks guys.
