Storm of the Month

The winner for this August occurred in Simpson County during the
evening of the 9th which is typical timing for summertime pulse severe
thunderstorms. This storm shot up to a VIL of 84 kg/m*m while pushing the
Maximum Hail Size estimation to near 2.5 inches in diameter. This storm was
riding a classic outflow boundary from an earlier storm which helped focus the
updraft and pushed the 50dBz+ returns to 49,000 feet or higher. The weak
circulation extended to over 15,000 feet in the storm and reached a Meso
Strength Index of 2690 which is pretty impressive for the summertime. This
storm produced at least 1.0 inch diameter hail and significant oak tree damage
near Magee.
