Thunderstorms Thermodynamics
What to look for:
- Determine how temperatures and dew points are changing at the surface.
- Look for tongues of maximum dew points and theta-e.
Surface
Low level: 850 hPa
What to look for:
- Low level jet stream
- Moisture convergence
Tips:
Low-level jet streams (or nocturnal low-level jets) increase deep, moisture convergence via warm and moist advection and enhance low-level vertical wind shear.
