May 3-5 Severe

Recommended Posts

SPC has moved the 15% forward for a Slight Risk on Sunday. I like their use of pattern recognition. ECMWF is more bullish (ENH material). GFS is slop (Marginal verbatim). Sothern stream wave in early May certainly calls for Slight Risk.

For those on the forum who get anxious about severe, I'm not at all worried about a big tornado day. Looks like straight wind mostly. However in early May we can't take a few tornadoes off the table.

Here is the new GFS sounding… A couple things I noticed is the critical angle is rather high and in the zone you look for strong tornadoes based on research. I also noticed the STP came up a little bit on this new run of GFS. Granted looking at all the small stuff is really pointless at this juncture (way too far out) however I will be curious to see how this trends going forward.

I understand that the NAM tends to be very bullish this far out however given the current trends I am actually kind of surprised that this hasn’t gotten a little bit more attention yet. I added the part about critical angle because I noticed that the majority of the soundings are around 90.

Hey Chip,when you post a sounding would you please post where the sounding is at,i noticed some people don't know where it's at,i know by the long and lat that is Middle Tn,but some folks that pop in won't have a clue,thanks

How much degree do you need? Seems like I remember 30° or something?


.

Critical Angle

The "critical angle" is the angle between the storm-relative wind at the surface and the 0-500 m AGL shear vector [(kt) displayed only for areas where the effective inflow base is the ground (SBCAPE 100 J kg-1 or greater, and less than 250 J kg-1 CIN].

A critical angle near 90 degrees infers streamwise vorticity near the ground, which favors stronger cyclonic rotation and dynamically forced ascent closer to the ground in a right-moving supercell (through the effects of tilting and stretching of horizontal vorticity). Critical angles in the range of 45 to 135 degrees suggest near-surface vorticity is more streamwise than crosswise, and values in this range are highlighted by the color fill. Large SRH colocated with a critical angle close to 90 degrees is most favorable for tornadic supercells.

And from what I can tell a longer threat as well it seems. I will be curious if it keeps this on the next run
