Pulse Severe Thunderstorms |
Preliminary results of the radar derived differences between severe and non-severe pulse storms will be shown. Average lead times for calculated parameters indicate that some of the currently used WSR-88D products offer little if any useful lead time for many of these events. Preliminary analysis of storm cross sections does indicate some potentially useful differences between storms that become severe and those that do not. Severe pulse storms generally develop relatively higher reflectivities, at higher altitudes, earlier in the life of the storm when compared to non-severe storms.
