Meteorologist Ingyball Posted May 3 Meteorologist Share Posted May 3 Calculated a 75kt vrot on Radar Omega. That may not seem high compared to what we've witnessed recently, but it's still a high end vrot. Just goes to show how insane it is to have multiple storms have vrot over 100kt.

It seems to be truly weird, but then again, tornadoes can have motion into the rainy area when they occlude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) 16 minutes ago, Neoncyclone said: Definitely one of the crazier occlusions i've seen but that's definitely what it was. Texas doing Texas things I guess lol There is a strong difference between easterly low level winds and westerly upper level winds. This is the sort of thing that's possible in the Southern Plains but doesn't happen towards the north half of the country. Could be up to 370 storm relative helicity near the storm (with normal storm motion computation.) Edited May 3 by Chinook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
