CASE 05 - Scattered cells over SMO
7/15/04

Microphysical scans 2130 - 2300 Z, 1h 30m

 

IOP Status:

No IOP called at this time (IOP #2 ended 00Z on 7/15/05).

Forecast Discussion
TS Blas was downgraded to TD, moving out of Tier 1 domain.

IV#5 over NW MX, moved quicker to W than expected. This upper level trough passed over S-Pol domain in the evening, around 00Z on 7/16/05. Complicated flow pattern exhibited over S-Pol domain - N/S oriented shear line located 50 mi east of S-Pol separating NW flow to the west from NE flow to the east.

In addition, southerly flow was moving up along the shear line. Much of this flow pattern can be confirmed by viewing the water vapor loop.
