Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted February 28, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) The most remarkable aspect of last nights derecho has to be what happened around the time it hit the fan in OKC. Out of context, seeing this 03z sounding, I don't think many would suspect a strong tornado would happen in the next hour or so. Doesn't matter how much shear you have if you have a cap like that. But that cap apparently got destroyed. Had to have cooled 7-9C in an hour or whatever it was in order to get rid of that cap. More cooling if there was strong near-surface instability Edited February 28, 2023 by ClicheVortex2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted March 1, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted March 1, 2023 Great thread about high risks that gives some insight to the decision making Sunday and something to keep in mind for Thursday, because at this rate I’m sure it’ll come up again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted March 2, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted March 2, 2023 Glad they dropped the 15% tornado. Early day stability is an issue and doesn’t seem like there’s much reason to expect warm sector/discrete activity right now. That said, the early day stability in NE TX appears to be moving out with an effective warm front pushing it out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely have some backed surface winds in its vicinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
