RCNYILWX Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Incredible effective shear magnitude in place over LA, MS and AL. In addition, an axis of very high 0-3km CAPE along that corridor, which will likely continue to increase/expand across AL as the airmass recovers this afternoon.

AgeeWx Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 can you explain what makes it "holy cow"? Backed surface winds, very minimal cap, good speed shear, and the depth of the moisture all make me say "holy cow", as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1900hurricane Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Check out the 18Z LIX sounding! Holy cow! Just give it some more surface heating and it's pretty much all there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 a tornado has occured (1826z) on the edge of extremely unstable air in coastal NC radar near Cove City, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reimer Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Just give it some more surface heating and it's pretty much all there. Yup, a very impressive sounding. If we can get those wind fields to advect northward into MS to improve on the sounding JAN made then I think E/SE MS is in for it. I'm sitting in Brandon, MS off I-20 just watching.

1900hurricane Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hi 1900, where do you go to look at these soundings? Can I have the link to them? Thanks! There's a tab on the SPC page called "Forecast Tools," and under it will be a link labeled "Observed Sounding Analysis." This should get you to some of the more recently recorded soundings. I'll also put the hyperlink below: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkman Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The Wilson county NC TOR warned storm is exploding. Tops went from 36k to 45k in one scan and the hail estimate is 3.5".
