Based on the forecast, storms are expected in our area late this afternoon and and evening. 18 Z and probably 21 Z soundings will be taken from Limon and Goodland to monitor expected moisture influx from the east and trough development to the west. Radars will come up in surveillance at noon local. NSSL5 will standby in Goodland. T-28 will also be on standby for possible late afternoon launch.
All facilities are fully operational.
This system approached from the west and passed through both the western and eastern dual-Doppler lobes. Copious large particles were detected on most penetrations. NSSL5 launched a total of five EFM's, with good data obtained on four of these flights. Balloons were launched in the vicinity of the T-28 passes. This should provide a very nice cross section of the E-field structure.
