Quiet tornado season wakes up; severe thunderstorm in India leaves 1 million homeless

Posted by: Dr. Jeff Masters, 1:41 PM GMT on April 23, 2010

After a record quiet start to the 2010 severe weather season, the atmosphere finally unleashed one of its classic violent spring weather days yesterday. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center tallied 32 tornado reports in Colorado, Kansas, and Texas. Fortunately, most of the storms occurred over uninhabited areas, and no injuries or major damage were reported. Our severe weather expert Dr. Rob Carver, has the details on the action in his blog today. The action was focused in a region the Storm Prediction Center had put in their "Moderate Risk" area for severe weather in yesterday's outlook. This was the first "Moderate Risk" region declared so far this year, which is a record for the latest day in the year this has occurred. According to Rich Thompson, a forecaster at NOAA's Storm Prediction Center, the previous record latest date for a "Moderate Risk" severe weather day was March 21, 2005. So, we beat the previous record by an entire month, which is a remarkable feat. There has been only one tornado death so far this year, the lowest death toll this far into the season on record. Typically, about half of the 80 or so tornado deaths we average per year have occurred by this point in the season. Yesterday's preliminary tornado count of 32 came close matching the preliminary U.S. tornado count for the entire month of March--36. March was the fourth-quietest March for tornado activity since record keeping began in 1950. The three-year average for March tornadoes is 138. One reason for the quiet tornado season has been the "upside down" winter and early spring we've experienced over North America over the past 3 1/2 months. Temperatures in Canada have been the warmest on record during this period, but have been unusually cold over the southern U.S. and Gulf of Mexico. Since the instability that severe thunderstorms need to occur comes from warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico encountering cold, dry air from Canada, this year's unusual "upside down" configuration has led to a much more stable than usual atmosphere over tornado alley in the U.S.

Another severe weather outbreak expected today and Saturday
The Storm Prediction Center has outlined another "Moderate Risk" region of concern for severe weather today, this time centered over Arkansas, Mississippi, and northern Louisiana (Figure 2.) Tomorrow, the action moves eastwards and will be centered over Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. This 3-day severe weather event will probably end up being one of the most significant of the year. Our severe weather expert Dr. Rob Carver will blog about today's action after it is over. As usual, you can follow today's severe weather outbreak with our interactive tornado page and our severe weather page..

Tornado and associated severe weather leave 1 million homeless in India
The U.S. has the world's most violent and numerous tornadoes, but second place goes to Bangladesh and eastern India. There, warm moist air from the Bay of Bengal often encounters cold, dry air from the Himalayas, setting up the instability needed to support severe thunderstorms. On Tuesday, April 13, and very unstable airmass (CAPE values > 3000) with strong westerly wind shear set up over eastern India, providing the classic set-up for supercell thunderstorms. Radar loops from the Kolkatta radar that day show a severe thunderstorm formed over extreme northeast India, near the Bangladesh border, and moved southeast into Bangladesh. The thunderstorm appeared to form a "bow echo", a configuration that often generates strong winds in excess of hurricane force near the bowed-out portion of the radar echo. Winds of 75 mph affected a large area of densely populated land, killing 137, severely damaging or destroying 200,000 homes, and leaving 1 million homeless. A weak tornado may have accompanied the storm. This may be the greatest number of people ever left homeless by a severe thunderstorm in world history.

Into the Abyss (adkinsadam1)

A little more than April showers... These storms delivered tornadoes and 6 inches of hail! SPC can't seem to figure out that the front range loves these kinds of weather setups.

Funnel at Jericho Texas (live4storms)

Did not get to the ground.

Second Groom, TX Tornado (zach34298)

This is about the best that the tornado ever looked. It was on the ground for a few minutes, before it lifted, and then briefly touched down again.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A (May 28, 2010), Vol. 368, No. 1919, pp. 2519-2534; doi: 10.1098/rsta.2010.0042 Climate effects on volcanism: Influence on magmatic systems of loading and unloading from ice mass variations, with examples from Iceland Freysteinn Sigmundsson, Virginie Pinel, Björn Lund, Fabien Albino, Carolina Pagli, Halldór Geirsson, and Erik Sturkell Abstract Pressure influences both magma production and the failure of magma chambers. Changes in pressure interact with the local tectonic settings and can affect magmatic activity. Present-day reduction in ice load on subglacial volcanoes due to global warming is modifying pressure conditions in magmatic systems. The large pulse in volcanic production at the end of the last glaciation in Iceland suggests a link between unloading and volcanism, and models of that process can help to evaluate future scenarios. A viscoelastic model of glacio-isostatic adjustment that considers melt generation demonstrates how surface unloading may lead to a pulse in magmatic activity. Iceland’s ice caps have been thinning since 1890 and glacial rebound at rates exceeding 20 mm yr−1 is ongoing. Modelling predicts a significant amount of ‘additional’ magma generation under Iceland due to ice retreat. The unloading also influences stress conditions in shallow magma chambers, modifying their failure conditions in a manner that depends critically on ice retreat, the shape and depth of magma chambers as well as the compressibility of the magma. An annual cycle of land elevation in Iceland, due to seasonal variation of ice mass, indicates an annual modulation of failure conditions in subglacial magma chambers.

Quoting Drakoen: Low atmospheric pressure lowers the vapor pressure which lowers the boiling point of water making it easier to evaporate as low pressure acts as a mechanism for a force for ascent. If the boiling point of water is lowered then the saturation temperature is lowered so the parcel can easily condense when the pressure becomes isobaric. So yes in severe weather pressure is a factor in the building of those cold cloud tops as the temperature needed for the air to saturate is lower.

This is a rarity in the Cayman Islands. Twister hits Little Cayman Posted on Mon, 04/19/2010 - 07:09 in Science and Nature (CNS): Updated 10:45 am -- Eyewitnesses on Little Cayman say there is some damage to Lighthouse Point condos on the western tip of Little Cayman after a tornado hit the island yesterday evening. Reports suggest that there is little damage to the exterior of the affected buildings but several ceilings caved in. Hazard Management Cayman Islands has confirmed that a little after 7pm yesterday evening (Sunday 18 April) a tornado came ashore on the west side of Little Cayman close to Lighthouse Point. Director of National Weather Service Fred Sambula confirmed the incident. “There was an area of thunderstorms with strong convection in the general area of the Sister Islands, but in the absence of Doppler radar, it is impossible to confirm exactly what occurred. We know that areas of strong convection can produce micro bursts and spin ups that are usually short lived and very localized, however it is also possible to get a strong burst of wind during squally conditions," he said. The condos in question are said to belong to local businessman Robert Hamaty and damage was also reported at Valda and Jonny Scott"s property. HMCI said while it was unable to confirm that the property damage in Little Cayman was actually caused by a tornado, it is not unusual to see waterspouts in the nearshore waters and open waters of the Cayman Islands, but they rarely come ashore. Hazard management warned residents to take waterspouts seriously. “If you are a boater or a person living along the coast you should be aware of their destructive potential. When warnings are issued for waterspouts, be prepared to quickly seek safe harbor, or to find shelter out of the path of the waterspout,” a spokesperson said. . The tornado comes less than twenty-four hours after two small earthquakes occurred off the coast of Grand Cayman. Member Since: October 9, 2008 Posts: 0 Comments: 8040

Ocean salinities show an intensified water cycle The stronger water cycle means arid regions have become drier and high rainfall regions wetter as atmospheric temperature increases. The study, co-authored by CSIRO scientists Paul Durack and Dr Susan Wijffels, shows the surface ocean beneath rainfall-dominated regions has freshened, whereas ocean regions dominated by evaporation are saltier. The paper also confirms that surface warming of the world's oceans over the past 50 years has penetrated into the oceans' interior changing deep-ocean salinity patterns. "This is further confirmation from the global ocean that the Earth's water cycle has accelerated," says Mr Durack – a PhD student at the joint CSIRO/University of Tasmania, Quantitative Marine Science program. more here Member Since: August 10, 2005 Posts: 144 Comments: 29346
