Chase Game 9/18
Posted on 20. Sep, 2010 by Ryan in Uncategorized
This is the very first Chase Game of the Year!
We are going to start off with one of the biggest outbreaks of the year, just to get our feet wet. We will give you two soundings from the event while significant severe weather was on-going at that location and an MD (Mesoscale Discussion).
To guess: Post your guess in the comments section below. Feel free to discuss why you feel your answer is right and if your feeling lucky, post your guess for where the location of the soundings are.
RESULTS HAVE BEEN POSTED!
SOUNDING 1: Peoria, IL EF-2 Tornado
Adam Lucio: Tornado near Peoria, IL on June 5th
————
SOUNDING 2: Millbury, OH, EF-4 Tornado
MD TEXT:
ROUGHLY 50-55 KTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR WILL FAVOR SUPERCELLS. 0-1KM SHEAR IS ACTUALLY COMPARATIVELY STRONGER THAN FARTHER W…AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL. ACTIVITY WILL PROBABLY EXTEND/DEVELOP DOWNSTREAM

6/5/10 —- The one that surprised everyone. The other major outbreaks were classic deep troughs so they can be ruled out.

I agree, it’s June 5. Can’t miss that jet max bulldozing through Iowa toward the lower Great Lakes with difluence over western IL.

You two are both correct but any guesses on the locations of the soundings?

Sounding 1 is from DVN
Sounding 2 is from ILX??? (not sure about 2)

Just a hint…these soundings DO NOT have to be from NWS offices. They can be from any location.

Hoo, boy. Are these models or actual soundings? I’m going to say KPIA (Peoria) for the first one and, um, KDBQ (Dubuque) for the second.

Actually, I want to place that second sounding more in extreme SW Wisconsin, but I’m going by Bufkit Warehouse locations and can’t find anything quite where I’m thinking.
