Probably the last good chance for decent storms in 2014. High instability, moist boundary layer, and a modified/remnant EML at mid levels were the PROS – one big CON: Upper level flow lagged off to the NW and meant that precip would fall into adjacent updrafts and morphology would quickly shift to linear/outflow dominant mode.
Still meant there would be some decent shelf related structure and was able to document a nice Whale’s Mouth and precip core at London, Ontario:
Typical scuddy features along the edge of the core:
Nice juxtaposition of Whale’s Mouth updraft and precip core:
Core grew and eventually obscured my view of the structure:
Nice little event that could have been ‘more’ with better mid/upper level support!
