What an awesome day! Need a repeat soon… Love the fall/winter chases so much.

Are those tornadoes from December 1, 2018 in Illinois?

devinwxchase.bsky.social•127 days ago

Yup! They were near Beardstown, Havana, and Easton respectively.

Ah ok. Yeah, I remember scrolling through Twitter (pre Musk) on that day seeing the photos from chasers of the tornadoes from that day.

Might I ask what the graph is. I am a weather enthusiast and would like to know so I understand what it means

devinwxchase.bsky.social•125 days ago

It's essentially a vertical slice of the atmosphere. The graph on the left is the thermal/moisture profile as it changes with height, and the one in the box on the top right is the hodograph which depicts the change in wind direction with height.

I think I got the moisture one wrong the speed appears to have decreased a bit with height

It's a lot to try and get across through text, but Trey Greenwood has a decent video series going through it, here's a link to the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztrDMo6f0Ls&list=PLnjboQ2ku8GDI9DGcqR8d9sr0sZKhH-qX

And the moisture holy crap man that storm must have been strong

vyrrwolf288.bsky.social•125 days ago

Taking the info you just said to me the wind was going crazy as it rose up

vyrrwolf288.bsky.social•125 days ago

And the moisture or cape right or is that something else

vyrrwolf288.bsky.social•125 days ago

Ohh okay I see so it helps find wind shear?
