Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted October 30, 2022 Meteorologist Share Posted October 30, 2022 That tornado sure did a lot of damage because there's quite the debris field out ahead of that supercell (see the blues bottom right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted October 30, 2022 Meteorologist Share Posted October 30, 2022 The importance of friction in weather in general was one of the most surprising elements of the field to me. Right up there with mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted October 30, 2022 Meteorologist Share Posted October 30, 2022 1 tornadic supercell on land, 3 more over water. Still not done even though this has been going on for, like, 6 hours now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted October 30, 2022 Meteorologist Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Seems this event is essentially over. All those supercells occurred in the warm sector but now the cold front has overtaken much of the warm front (occlusion.) Wouldn't rule out something sneaky along the cold front but we're no longer seeing warm sector supercells in the Gulf.

Wouldn't rule out something sneaky along the cold front but we're no longer seeing warm sector supercells in the Gulf. WPC surface analysis maps to show the occlusion process/weakening of the warm sector. Peak of the event is in the below 2 images. Notice the area between the cold front and warm front. Surface synoptic analysis in a couple hours. Very narrow corridor... not much room for warm sector convection. Any possible severe or tornadic convection would be limited to the coast because of the time of day and width of warm sector.

Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted October 30, 2022 Meteorologist Share Posted October 30, 2022 Looks like there'll be some low-topped convection with some moderate low-level instability. Should be good for some strong downdrafts with photogenic clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
