Thankfully bad weather let alone severe weather didn't put a damper on the air show at NAS Fort Worth JRB/Carswell Field this weekend! I snapped this shot of a severe warned supercell about 500pm this afternoon that was southeast of Dallas and even from my vantage point in southern Denton County it was an impressive sight to watch it develop. In the #Radarscope app, viewing different radar tilt angles in storm-relative velocity mode clearly showed the main rotating updraft as well as how it was tilted, a tilted updraft one of the main characteristics of a supercell thunderstorm. All thunderstorms have an updraft that pulls in warm humid air as fuel, but as that rising air cools, it sinks as a downdraft and in most thunderstorms this downdraft chokes off the inflow to the updraft, resulting in the storm falling apart. In a supercell, winds higher up tilt the updraft so the downdraft occurs in a different part of the storm, keeping the inflow to the updraft intact. This allows the storm to intensify and last long. In addition, winds have to veer with altitude and this gets the updraft rotating in what's called a mesocyclone. Given the right conditions, a tightening rotation of the mesocyclone updraft spawns tornadoes. Thankfully this supercell wasn't tornadic but it was dangerous nonetheless. The proliferation of raw weather data online means science geeks like me can feast on stuff like hodographs and skew-T plots. If you're interested in learning more about supercells, learning to read skew-T plots and hodographs is essential! #dfw #igtexas #igersdfw #thunderstorm #txwx
