Ian Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0985 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0330 PM CDT THU MAY 26 2011 AREAS AFFECTED...WRN VA...WV CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 381... VALID 262030Z - 262130Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 381 CONTINUES. MOST BUOYANT AND STEEPER LAPSE RATE ENVIRONMENT CONTINUES TO COVER THE ERN HALF OF WW 381. THIS IS REFLECTED WELL IN ONGOING CONVECTION WHERE STRONGEST UPDRAFTS ARE CONCENTRATED COINCIDENT WITH HIGHER ELEVATIONS. ALTHOUGH STRONGER FORCING REMAINS JUST WEST OF THIS REGION OVER THE OH/TN VALLEY REGION...OROGRAPHIC FORCING IS LIKELY CONTRIBUTING TO RENEWED TSTM DEVELOPMENT WHERE HEATING IS STRONGEST. THIS ACTIVITY HAS STRUGGLED TO MOVE OFF THE MOUNTAINS AND SHOULD PRIMARILY LIFT NNEWD ALONG CORRIDOR OF HIGHEST TERRAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 To my untrained eye it appears to be a large circulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Nice mesocyclone situated right at the inflow notch. Decent but not as bad as earlier hail core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 To my untrained eye it appears to be a large circulation It is, it is a mesocyclone...Its like a big sinkhole in the sky.. watch this new cell just south of the main cell get sucked into the mesocyclone.

WVclimo Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 That tornado warned cell went by to my northwest by about 20 miles. Still produced some awesome skies here. A gusty breeze 15-25 mph and temps have dropped from 88 to 78. No rain yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Storm passed through here, heavy rain, some gusty winds, temp went from upper 80's to 66.7, fast. Pretty heavy rain, but brief. Hard to say how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Lots of thunder and lightning here now. Had a minute or so of pea-size hail, peak wind gust was 34 mph. Peak rain rate of 3.69" Looks like I may better a half-an-inch of rain before its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
