WhiteoutWX Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Pronounced clearing on satellite north of the warm front. Should allow it to start lifting northward towards or north of the red river over the next several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Looks like spc stays close to same in their update. Major hail threats and early narrow window for TOR development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGChaser Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 More than a narrow window imo. Narrow for discrete/semi-discrete, but could see embeddded tors once upscale growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The threat for signups and imbedded rotations goes well into late afternoon/evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Great lapse rates and relatively low LCL's over the targeted moderate risk area for Tuesday. Will have to see if other parameters come together and the WF lifts north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Storm firing south of Midland at present on dryline with 82/42 readings. Dryline bulge becoming apparent on Midland radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drz1111 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I get that it's elevated, but that's a hell of a lot of strong low level rotation on that cell near Lubbock. It's right next to the radar site and has lots of pretty colors in its velocity scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hail up to 3 1/2" with tops to 55,000 feet expected in upcoming new svr watch in TX. This is still March, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers09 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yeah, I was gonna mention that. Latest warning states tornado possible but that's a heck of a lot of rotation to not be t warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbrussell Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm thinking we may need a tor warning on some of these cells. Those rotation signatures are getting pretty tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherdemon Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 NNE anvils that I've been around haven't seemed to do too well for creating decent tornaoes... Or am I making that up?

pbrussell Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Looks like a left split is happening with the storm south of Abilene. If we get a right mover and it continues to track toward Abilene, we could have trouble. HRRR shows a pretty gnarly environment there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
