More Severe Weather Possible Today 11/8/05

A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.
Postby Galvan on November 5th, 2005, 1:06 am
Looking at the 00Z ETA.... It looks like there might be a chance of Severe Weather across Illinois tomorrow


The wind fields look rather nice. Granted the instability is rather
weak...only around 750 CAPE...somewhere in the mid afternoon....it is possible
for 1000 CAPES if a few things happen. Certainly the ETA breaks out a
great deal of precipitation.

Looks like we should see warm frontogenesis with mid 50 dew points
already in Southern IL.

It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.

It was raining buckets about a half hour ago. Then it slowed up to almost no rain, now it's back to raining pretty hard, but not as hard as it was earlier.

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL VALID 051821Z - 052045Z TSTMS SHOULD DEVELOP AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE IN A BAND FROM NRN MO/SRN IA NEWD ACROSS NRN IL/SRN WI OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. A COUPLE OF STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE AND PRODUCE HAIL. A WATCH IS NOT IMMINENT BUT TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED. AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION APPEARS LIKELY OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS AS A LEAD IMPULSE NOW MOVING TOWARD NWRN MO FROM NERN KS ENHANCES DEEP LAYER ASCENT ACROSS A WARM FRONT ROUGHLY SITUATED FROM IRK TO GBG TO MDW. WHILE THIS LEAD IMPULSE IS WELL AHEAD OF A STRONGER SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO THE CNTRL HIGH PLAINS... SUFFICIENT LIFT AND ELEVATED DESTABILIZATION ARE EXPECTED AND SHOULD SUPPORT AT LEAST A MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL THREAT DEVELOPING OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LATEST DVN SOUNDING AT 18Z FURTHER SUPPORTS THIS SCENARIO WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND EFFECTIVE SHEAR BOTH INCREASING SINCE 12Z. SHORT-TERM MODEL GUIDANCE ALSO INDICATES A GOOD PROBABILITY OF PRIMARILY ELEVATED TSTMS INCREASING NEAR AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT THROUGH 21Z.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

Severe T-storms on the way down here in Springfield. We have decent lightning, radar doesn't look too good, and my power already blinked once (usually an indication of high static discharge along the circuit).

Yet here I am still on the good ole net.
