Dryline MCS to the NW of Colin
Posted by JAC on 8/3/2010, 3:17 pm
So, the big convection firing to the NW of Colin is an MCS.

Shear is higher in this area due to the TUTT to the NW of Colin.

This is the same thing you would see in West Texas and Oklahoma in the spring along a dryline.

A dryline has a sharp lapse-rate gradient.  

When shear interacts with it, explosive MCS's are generated.

Actually, the MCS should wash out tonight and the debris may fill in the dry slot which could help Colin tomorrow.
