A pair of HSLC-related presentations: NOAA VLab Forum and AMS Mesoscale Conference
Over the last few months, I have provided two presentations on recent HSLC-related research. In June, I was the presenter at NOAA’s VLab Forum, where I provided an overview of the ongoing HSLC CSTAR project based at NC State University. … Continue reading

MOSHE now available in beta form on SPC Mesoanalysis
The effective version of the Modified Severe Hazards in Environments with Reduced Buoyancy parameter (i.e., modified SHERBE or MOSHE), detailed in Sherburn et al. (2016), is now available in beta form on the SPC Mesoanalysis page. In observing the parameter’s … Continue reading

Potential HSLC severe event Thursday, March 24th, including VORTEX-SE deployment
A potent upper-level trough (Fig. 1) and associated surface cyclone (Fig. 2) moving through the eastern CONUS will bring a chance for severe high-shear, low-CAPE (HSLC) convection to portions of the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on Thursday. This event is … Continue reading

December 23, 2015 Severe Weather Potential
Contrary to other potential severe high-shear, low-CAPE (HSLC) setups so far this autumn and winter, tomorrow’s setup appears to have the majority of pieces in place. The main story may be the high-CAPE setup during the afternoon and early evening across … Continue reading

Thoughts on 11 November 2015 HSLC severe event in Midwest
On November 11, 2015, a generally well-forecast (Figure 1) high-shear, low-to-moderate CAPE severe event affected portions of the Midwest. Convection initially developed during the late morning in the vicinity of the triple point of an intense surface cyclone across northeastern … Continue reading

HSLC Idealized Hodograph Sensitivity Studies: Overview of all 12 Simulations
During the July conference call, I presented preliminary work from a matrix of 12 simulations geared towards exploring the sensitivity of HSLC convection to low-level hodograph shape and the wind profile’s orientation relative to an initiating cold pool. As I … Continue reading
NC State CSTAR HSLC SHERB Parameter Examined at the NWS Northern Indiana Office
The April 2015 high-shear, low-CAPE (HSLC) CSTAR conference call featured a guest presentation from Amos Dodson, forecaster from the NWS Northern Indiana (IWX) office. Amos recently presented work at the Central Iowa NWA’s Severe Storms and Doppler Radar Conference investigating … Continue reading
