DSLR shot of yesterdays tornadic supercell that impacted #Wentworth, NC. Time~ 7:45pm. #ncwx

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@Djpuco Furthermore I noticed there was still more of a kink to those isobars near NW Germany, which seemed to align with the early supercells/best couplets of the day

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@Djpuco Just my opinion but these sorts of setups that lack a clear shortwave and rely on broad synoptic troughing tend to need an extra kick. The environment on paper is favorable but without better lift storms can not fully utilize their environment

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@KreisRhein NW Germany should break out of this cirrus deck and will also be closest to shortwave forcing. Good luck today

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@Sausius_wx Peculiar thermodynamics, low topped but thick CAPE profiles. Here in southern Germany I would imagine lower dews limit the threat. Seems like a sweet spot in the middle of the country with combination of thermo and forcing

@skydrama Longtime follower, just wanted to chime in and say these graphics are extremely aesthetically pleasing :)

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@Central_IL_Wx It’ll make sure to fire to make you commit before synoptic subsidence chokes the updrafts 🥲

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@Central_IL_Wx I have learned to stay away from open warm sector at all costs. If it seems like a good idea it’s always a trap

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@Gio_wx What a banger of a supercell. This was my first ever tor, so it was a special one

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@unwetterfreaks So viel Blitz! Die Geschwindigkeit ging von 30 auf 70 km/h!

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

Outflow dominant supercell, 15:31 local time #gewitter @Kachelmannwettr

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@Djpuco I will hopefully be out there somewhere btwn MUC and Rosenheim to start the day. Really intrigued by the sfc low with backed easterlies and moisture pooling.

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@GMengel Better than me man. For my first tor I was in so much shock that for once, the storm actually produced. I was the classic “oh my god, wow! Holy crap!” person that so many despise 😂

Unrelated but that really is a top tier visible RFD cut by mid Atlantic standards

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@PavanFederico00 Crazy clear air RFD cut! Looks like something out of Colorado

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

Convection season has commenced in Bavaria with a shortwave firing a cluster of thunderstorms west/south of Munich today, bringing frequent lightning and small hail #gewitter

@Kachelmann @Kachelmannwettr @Alpinwetter UPDATE:

Gewitter bei Memmingen in Bayern aktuell! Wir sind weiterhin LIVE auf Twitch und Youtube. Schaut vorbei! ⛈️🌪️

@sambrandt99 Found this from a satellite lecture I had last semester. It represents your tweet very well. Satellite data is king for model performance.

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@WxScholl Yo if you’re still dealing with this, any other peculiar issues? Car turning off by itself when idle? Electric issues?

Also check oil for coolant

My old car would do the exact same thing, light would come on just long enough for me to notice, then disappear.

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@VORTEXJeff I would suspect some sort of subsidence/forcing for ascent issue with slight warming of temperatures and no real shear above 700mb

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@CameronJNixon Doesn’t get more turquoise than this

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

@AriWeather @ScottDimmich @dalesamsWx Unrelated to verification or not, but want to add:

Actual observed (instrumentation) severe gusts are quite uncommon east of the Appalachian Mountains, and observed sig gusts are very rare.

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

Hard to have a forecast go off the rails as hard as today did. Have to feel for forecasters who must both respect the obvious potential of the event and face the consequences of the floor being realized.

[Justin Buchinsky @JBuchinskyWX]

Trends have not been the Mid-Atlantic's friend. The prefrontal trough has trended slower. Besides the obvious implication of greater instability, the more worrying consequence is how the warm sector now aligns with an ejecting negatively tilted shortwave. (1/3) #vawx #ncwx
