/ DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW:

1739 |
Running ClimoNear: Small, intense cell building to the SE of S-Pol
(>55 dBZ in core). 1729Z, Base reflectivity, yellow line
indicates RHI cross-section.
1729Z, Reflectivity cross-section of
intense cell to SE.
1729Z, ZDR cross-section of intense
cell to SE.

Begin Microphysical Scanning,
Switching to MicroNear135, Running in tandem w/ Ka-band: Most intense cells forming <60 km to N of S-Pol,
in vicinity of NOAA profiler. Decided to center sector at 0 deg in case
convection moves over profiler site, with RHI at 30 deg. Will continue to
keep an eye on convection building to the SE. 1800Z, Base reflectivity.

Sprinkling
at S-Pol around 1910 Z. Most action is still to the N, but too far away for
Ka-band (~90 km). 1900Z, Base reflectivity.
1915Z, Base reflectivity.

End Microphysical Scanning, Running
ClimoNear: Most intense convective
activity has diminished. There is still a cell at 42 km to watch. |
