Normal rates for air are something with around 3500, isn´t it ? It´s some years ago with me.

No, 3500 is considered VERY unstable.

You´re right - i got to get my books out again.

Wow I haven't seen this kind of outbreak in my area in a long long time. There are tornado warnings all over the place! Currently it's 88 degrees with a hardly a cloud in the sky here in Lafayette. We'll see what happens within the next few hours.

I think that the cap issues are pretty much taken care of at this point; anyone in between the storms and the Gulf of Mexico needs to keep a serious eye to the sky today.

They should be throwing PDS Tornado Watches out...

PTrackerLA · #67 Postby **PTrackerLA** » Wed May 10, 2006 5:08 pm

The local met expects the storms to weaken by the time they reach my area but there could still be isolated severe storms. There is a near record low airmass coming behind that front, I'm actually quite concerned.

nothing so far in north Houston. I guess we are being sparred after last weeks huge hailstorm.

Extremeweatherguy · #72 Postby **Extremeweatherguy** » Wed May 10, 2006 5:31 pm

wow! It is amazing that we have been sparred too. I just looked and it seems like there are warnings everywhere but here! :eek:

As I speak, however, a storm is popping up just west of us...but I doubt it will have time to go severe before getting here. Who knows though...

Tornado on the ground near I-20 in Rankin and Scott Counties (the boundary) in central MS...

Second of the year? The big one there was last November...unless there was a weak one earlier this year...

There wasn't a great deal of rotation and a lousy signature there (no other severe cells), so it had to be an F0 or F1.
