Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
820 AM CST Tue Feb 7 2017

.DISCUSSION...See updated information for land areas and aviation
discussion below.

&&

.UPDATE...Updated forecast for newly issued Tornado Watch
#26...which is now valid for all 5 of our interior southeast
Mississippi counties until 2 pm this afternoon. It is likely that
watches will be extended eastward into portions of Alabama and the
western Florida panhahdle later today. As mentioned in an earlier
update, there is now an enhanced risk of severe weather over
southwestern portions of the forecast area. Morning RAOBS to the
west of our area observed mid level lapse rates of 7.0 to as steep
as 8.4 C/KM, this combined with the previously mentioned low wet
bulb zero heights likely to result in potential for very large
hail. Damaging winds and isolated tornadoes also remain possible.

Zack Fradella: Yea, Lezak had a paper peer reviewed and published a year or so ago. Nov 5, 2022 9:03:24 GMT -6

stormydds: Thanks for your response. I felt that is the case. that's too bad. Has there been any peer reviewed papers on the LRC hypothesis? Nov 4, 2022 14:01:51 GMT -6

Zack Fradella: Not sure, the LRC is something that takes a lot of work to follow and keep up with. It's not as easy as looking at the parameters and making a forecast. This deters many from even giving it a chance. Also, there is some doubt from the weather world. Nov 4, 2022 3:38:49 GMT -6

stormydds: Zack, a friend had a meeting in Lafayette which Rob Perillo spoke.He asked him why the LRC is not used to forecast hurricanes by NOAA.His answer was that Lezak won't share the info.I saw the podcast you and David made with Gary.He seemed open.What gives? Nov 3, 2022 14:39:19 GMT -6
