April 6

* Brad Bryant from the NWS office in Jackson is breaking down the April 6th tornado outbreak in Mississippi. If you'll recall, that is the event that brought the F3 tornado to Mize. That was a very difficult event to forecast. There was a very solid cap and not a lot of instability due to that. There were good low level lapse rates, but Mr. Bates suggests that the upper level forcing was so strong that it overcame such a strong cap. There was also a high amount of shear available which lead to the big localized severe weather event.

* Looking at case studies such as this and learning about tornado research specialized to the southeast will certainly help us in forecasting future events!

* And for the record, I think Josh had as much, if not more, Little Dooey's as me!
