mattmfm Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The problem in these low shear environments, hard to sustain updrafts. Still looks like a decent severe day, just hard to have any sort of long-tracked supercell structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 interesting cell to watch over the next 30 minutes or so as it interacts with the one dropping south now to its ne. Kind of interesting how some of those cells are hanging in the valley area. maybe some sort of mesoscale interaction thing with terrain or something.

Still looks like a decent severe day, just hard to have any sort of long-tracked supercell structure. True, but sometimes the winds at 400-300 mb can help vent and at least try to allow the storm to continue and not fall apart on itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVries Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 interesting cell to watch over the next 30 minutes or so as it interacts with the one dropping south now to its ne.
