Tornadoes produced by quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) in low instability
environments present distinctive challenges for forecasters. This study analyzes a …

A nuanced analysis of the spatial and temporal distribution of supercell tornadoes and the
characteristics of the near-storm environments associated with those tornadoes is critical to …

Short-lived and poorly organized convective cells, often called weakly forced thunderstorms
(WFTs), are a common phenomenon during the warm season across the eastern and …

The magnitude of water vapor content within the near-storm inflow can either support or
deter the storm's upscale growth and maintenance. However, the heterogeneity of the …

Abstract Large midlevel (3–6 km AGL) shear is commonly observed in supercell
environments. However, any possible influence of midlevel shear on an updraft has been …

Abstract The Targeted Observation by Radars and UAS of Supercells (TORUS) field project
observed two supercells on 8 June 2019 in northwestern Kansas and far eastern Colorado …

The evolution of supercell thunderstorms traversing complex terrain is not well understood
and remains a short-term forecast challenge across the Appalachian Mountains of the …

Recent studies have shown how very small differences in the background environment of a
supercell can yield different outcomes, particularly in terms of tornado production. In this …

A simplified model of the Great Plains (GP) Nocturnal Low-level Jet (NLLJ) is formulated to
include the classical inertial oscillation (Blackadar) and baroclinic (Holton) mechanisms …

The evolution of atmospheric features across multiple spatiotemporal scales combine to
influence the ability for environments to support severe convection and produce damaging …
