  • REALLY bad weather

    For those who know their severe storm stuff, here's a couple animated GIF's I slapped together from Weather Underground. Both cycle up through elevations, 0.50, 1.45, 2.40, 3.35. The first clearly show two bounded weak echo regions, which is where the updrafts are sucking dry surface air up into the storm, and also faintly the spiral bands of precipitation that surround the rotating cores.



    The second is storm relative velocity.



    Next is the vertical integrated liquid, it shows the estimated mass of the liquid water in the air column in kilograms per square meter.



    And finally the echo top map, shows the highest altitude reflection the radar is seeing.

    If you go a cm up from the NE I-35 sign, that's where I am.

    BRING IT!!! I'm not afraid of little thunderstorm!

      When the tornado knocks on your door let it know you're not afraid of it. I'm maybe half a cm or so east of the dot that marks Wichita in the close ups, depending on your screen size and resolution.

          I'd consider it abnormal if we didn't get at least one storm like this around this time of year.

            I'd rather live in a place where the ground shakes once every couple years then where the sky picks up homes and moves them 5+ times a year.

                That looks like some fugly weather there, Jon. I guess we got off easy with just snow, probably half as much as Mehen got in Winterpeg.



                ... and we just got the igloo of the swimming pool

                  Damn, and here one province to the right we hit 29C (84F) today. Humidex well over 30C. Felt almost like August weather. Sheesh.

                    Although keep in mind I don't live in an area where floods are possible.
