Noise

April 3, 2012--north central Texas

The previous day went pretty much as expected. No remorse for staying in the mid-south, this time. The upper flow paralleled the low level boundary and there were not sub-synoptic accidents to generate even one tornodo report along the dryline.

The next day turned out much better, with a boundary more or less normal to the upper air flow. What a difference. SPC had a severe box out early and saw what was coming with the boundary near Dallas. By late morning they had upgraded to a tornado watch and things went crazy for a few hours. Not much remorse here either, since metro areas are no fun for solo chasing and photography. A traffic copter got the shot of the day: semis getting lofted on the south side of Dallas.
