LOADED GUN SOUNDING

  • Severe weather sounding (large CAPE, very unstable LI)
  • Large hydrolapse in mid-levels (mT air in boundary layer and capped by cT air)
  • There must be an inversion above mT air
  • Most common in Great Plains, Midwest and SE US
  • Most common severe weather: Large hail, tornadoes, convective wind gusts of 58mph or greater
  • If speed /directional wind shear and strong low-level jet are present on sounding, severe weather chances are enhanced
