June 14 TWISTEX Update

Status: Awaiting Deployment
Location: Terril, IA


Just a quick update this afternoon on the next deployment that may potentially come by Saturday. Winds become westerly aloft by Saturday over the northern plains, allowing for better shear profiles across the area. A trough that is also expected to make its' way into the plains will be affecting the Dakotas as soon as Sunday. These features are enough to where Samaras feels we may take off as early as Saturday to head to the Dakotas for a severe weather threat, also staying in the Dakotas area on Sunday as the trough moves in. Another update likely late tonight with a better forecast after the 00z runs come in...

Also likely to have pictures from the June 6 & 7 posted by early tomorrow as well...
