Storm of the Month
|
This month produced several complexes of strong thunderstorms each which
dumped very heavy rainfall amounts that resulted in localized flooding problems.
While the much needed rainfall amounts were impressive hydrologically, none of
those storms were individually impressive from a severe weather perspective.
Our JUNE STORM WINNER occurred just east of Meridian on the Alabama side of the
border during the evening of the 2nd. The VILS exceeded 62 kg/m*m as 55dBz
returns reached near 42,000 feet and an elevated 65dBz core was detected as
high as 30,000 feet. A weak circulation accompanied this storm as it
persisted above our severe criteria for about 25 minutes which is
longer than the typical summertime pulse severe thunderstorm. The Hail algorithm
peaked shortly after the images below with an estimated hail size of baseballs.
