  8. Good forecast

  9. Good forecast • Significant Tornado Parameter (fixed layer) • A multiple ingredient, composite index that includes 0-6 km bulk wind difference (6BWD), 0-1 km storm-relative helicity (SRH1), surface parcel CAPE (sbCAPE), surface parcel CIN (sbCIN), and surface parcel LCL height (sbLCL). This version of STP uses fixed layer calculations of vertical shear, and the surface lifted parcels, as an alternative to the "effective layer" version of STP. • The index is formulated as follows: • STP = (sbCAPE/1500 J kg-1) * ((2000-sbLCL)/1500 m) * (SRH1/100 m2 s-2) * (6BWD/20 m s-1) * ((200+sbCIN)/150 J kg-1) • When the sbLCL is less than 1000 m AGL, the sbLCL term is set to one, and when the sbCIN is greater than -50 J kg-1, the sbCIN term is set to one. Lastly, the 6BWD term is capped at a value of 1.5, and set to zero when 6BWD is less than 12.5 m s-1. A majority of significant tornadoes (F2 or greater damage) have been associated with STP values greater than 1, while most non-tornadic supercells have been associated with values less than 1 in a large sample of RUC analysis proximity soundings.

  10. moist tongue from south hitting warm front

  11. moist = unstable

  12. Well forecast

  13. separate band to N • MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0389 • NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK • 0657 PM CDT SAT APR 09 2011 • VALID 092357Z - 100100Z • LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION IS STRENGTHENING ACROSS SERN SD AND SRN MN AS LLJ IMPINGES ON WARM FRONT. LATEST RUC GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THIS PROCESS WILL ONLY INCREASE DURING THE EVENING HOURS FORCING MOISTURE ATOP COOLER BOUNDARY LAYER. WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES IN PLACE SIGNIFICANT ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THIS REGION SUCH THAT LARGE HAIL SHOULD BE COMMON WITH ANY SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL BE WARRANTED ACROSS THIS REGION SOON. ..DARROW.. 04/09/2011
