Derecho! Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 New SPC Mesoscale Discussion....says tornadoes will be brief as they cross a boundary... LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES THE WRN EXTENSION OF A W-E OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IS CURRENTLY LYING OVER THE SRN THIRD OF TARRANT AND DALLAS COUNTIES -- CONFIRMED BY RECENT VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. WHILE A LARGER CLUSTER OF STORMS CONTINUES ACROSS N TX...SMALL SUPERCELL STORMS MOVING TOWARD -- AND DEVELOPING NEAR -- THE METROPLEX HAVE PRODUCED A FEW TORNADOES IN THE PAST HALF HOUR TO HOUR -- LIKELY AS THEY CROSS/INTERACT WITH THE MORE FAVORABLE VORTICITY/LOW-LEVEL SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOUNDARY. THOUGH IN GENERAL EXPECT ANY SINGLE TORNADO TO BE RELATIVELY BRIEF AS STORMS MOVE QUICKLY NEWD ACROSS THE BOUNDARY...THE ENHANCED POTENTIAL ACROSS THE METROPLEX AREA ITSELF SUGGESTS CONTINUED/HEIGHTENED RISK FOR A DAMAGING EVENT.

brettjrob Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Better keep an eye on the cell riding the Johnson/Ellis Co. line right now... we'll see what the effects of the worked-over air from the first two storms are. Given boundary-layer RH was so high to begin with, it may not make a ton of difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
