Vertical Shear in SGF Atmospheric Motion Vectors

Looking at Atmospheric Motion Vectors has shown a great illustration of vertical shear just south of the SGF forecast area in Little Rock's forecast area. This shear is better than that depicted in the SGF area but it is possible that some of this better shear could dritf northeastward into the SGF area and provide a boost for convection. One thing this does not show is much convergence in the lowest levels that had shown up on surface observations. By sampling the wind barbs, we could see that the lowest wind barbs were around 900 mb and shows what a difference even 100 mb can make...even in the low levels. -Jason Bourne
