ProbSevere Model Good Lead Time NE Missouri/SE Iowa border – Missing SRSOR Images


The ProbSevere Model indicated an 83% probability of a severe storm within an environment of 2968 J/Kg of MUCAPE and 34.6 kts of EBShear at 2020Z. It also indicated MESH of 1.07inch at this time. The following 2-minute resolution updates continued to show 80+% prob and 1 inch+ MESH as the storm tracked northeast from the NE Missouri/SW Iowa border into SW Iowa except for one frame at 2028z where it showed a 64% prob. WFO DMX issued a SVR at 2037z. ProbSevere may have helped give up to 17 minutes additional lead time if the warning was issued once the ProbSevere crossed above 80%. At the time of this post there were not yet any confirmed hail reports.



Visible satellite data started to show a resemblance of an enhanced updraft on this storm at 2015z with a developing anvil and anvil shadowing at 2025z.  SRSOR VIS data was missing between 2011z and 2030z so had to use conventional visible images for the attached screen captures.
