SPC Convective Outlooks

Saturday, March 24, 2012


Currently under a Tornado watch. Not expecting much in the terms of significant tornadoes, could see a couple of tornado warned cells capable of producing weak short lived tornadoes. Atmosphere has become unstable with low level shear marginal at best around 40+ knots. The 700mb shear will be able to support large hail in the supercells that do develop. Will be remaining in position here in Hope Mills and await firing convection from the South and West.
Convective towers going up to my northwest. Storms had a hard time maintaining strength for long periods of time and out of all the storms that passed close to my location only one of them prompted a sever thunderstorm warning, that was producing quarter size hail. Unfortunately this storm drifted off to my east and didn't produce any good photo ops.
