Storm of the Month

Our JULY WINNER erupted just before 300 am on the 13th as a complex of
thunderstorms moved from Chicot County, Arkansas across the Mississippi River
near Lake Lee. The storm became massive in height with 50+dBz to nearly 49,000 feet
and an elevated core of 65-70dBz returns as high as 30,000 feet. A note of interest
was the VIL of 74 kg/m*m at this time of day with the Severe Hail Probability
algorithm pegging 100% for three volume scans while the rotational criteria
remained on the weak side.
This storm resulted from a cell-merger that probably produced both high winds
and some large hail. Our algorithm estimated the baseball-sized hail was
possible just before the storm crossed the Mississippi River. Ground truth was
very limited on this early Monday morning.
