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 +1
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.

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.

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.

Tropical Cyclone Warning Center Perth
Tropical Cyclone Advisory
TROPICAL CYCLONE SEAN (13U)
9:00 AM WST April 24 2010
======================================

At 8:00 AM WST, Tropical Cyclone Sean, Category 2 (988 hPa) located at 15.5S 113.0E or 710 km northwest of Karratha and 730 km north of Exmouth has 10 minute sustained winds of 55 knots with gusts of 80 knots. The cyclone is reported as moving south-southwest at 6 knots.

Storm Force Winds
==================
20 NM from the center

Gale Force Winds
===================
50 NM from the center in northern quadrants
80 NM from the center in southern quadrants

Dvorak Intensity: T4.0/4.0/D1.0/24HRS

Forecast and Intensity
======================
12 HRS: 16.5S 112.5E - 55 knots (CAT 2)
24 HRS: 17.3S 111.7E - 60 knots (CAT 2)
48 HRS: 17.8S 108.6E - 40 knots (CAT 1)
72 HRS: 17.9S 102.2E - 30 knots (Tropical Low)

Addition Information
=====================
Deep convection persists near the low level circulation centre of Tropical Cyclone Sean. Dvorak analysis: Difficult to determine DT. MET of 4.0 based on developing [D] trend. PAT= 4.0, FT/CI = 4.0.

1155 UTC SSMIS microwave image and 1812 UTC AMSRE image showed a tilting vortex with the mid level centre displaced to the south.

Latest CIMSS shear analysis at 00 UTC indicates NW shear of about 15 knots. Some further development is possible overnight if the shear remains low and with ongoing upper-level poleward outflow associated with a large amplitude mid-latitude trough to the southwest.

Southwest motion is forecast in the next 24 hours although some southerly motion is also possible especially if the system deepens further. The lack of model support for a more southerly track is probably due to the failure to resolve a sufficiently deep/intense system. Once weakening commences, a shift to a more westerly track is likely owing to lower level steering winds.

Increasing northwesterly shear should result in weakening on Sunday and Monday although gales may persist on the southern side of the circulation assisted by westerly motion and a strengthening ridge to the south.

He's better off waiting in Garland and see if those cells that are back building become tornadic - the cell he is chasing is weakening and he'll never catch it - I think once the tornado warning expires on this cell that will be it - I am not getting a TVS anymore on that cell, but some good shear showing up again with the back building storms near Fouke - they are moving quickly northeast as well

The new storms are not as impressive as the previous, but showing signs of strenthening - no TVS at the moment, but 2 hail indicators and some decent shear beginning to show up - Lewisville looks to be right in the path and will be there in about 30 minutes or so
