CASE 29 - Collapse of leading-line MCS into stratiform rain and new development to N
8/16/04
Microphysical scans 0230 - 0345 Z, 1h 15m

 

Linear MCS (with overall look of leading line-trailing stratiform MCS) formed along inland seabreeze front during the late afternoon / early evening hours on 8/15/04. System began dissipating by late evening. However, leading line and stratiform regions do not appear to be dynamically linked, leaving system with a loose organizational structure and perhaps not a true LLTS system (see explanation in S-Pol Scan Summary below).

2130 Z: Visible seabreeze front along much of GOC coast in vicinity of S-Pol.

2200 Z: Convection developing along a seabreeze front starting to look organized.

2300 Z: Increasing organization along seabreeze front - developing leading-line MCS.

2350 Z: Southern portion of MCS moving westward, toward GOC.

0100 Z: Linear structure breaking up, leaving several multcellular systems.
