ⓘ About this map

Outlines: NOAA/NWS · Radar cells: IEM/NEXRAD. Outlines are warned areas, not storm paths.

Interactive imagery loads separately. Missing radar does not remove warnings or imply clear weather.

Recorded weather · gaps are marked. Coverage begins with recording activation.

Live sources keep independent clocks.

Replay coverage and interpretation

Rolling target: 24 hours; cells: six hours. Radar: NOAA MRMS national overview, 8-minute tolerance. Satellite: original GOES GeoColor day/night picture, hourly sampling, 75-minute tolerance. No interpolation or latest-image fallback. Warning and source checks retain their own clocks. “Recorded by” is collector acquisition evidence, not exact browser publication history.

Current GLM density, velocity and specialist layers are hidden during replay. Snow uses retained footprint metadata with unverified pixel time. Forecast uses one pinned issuance/run and exact valid time.

No observed replay frame displayed.

Storm ingredients: SPC’s hourly analysis

SPC mesoanalysis map, Mixed-layer CAPE and CIN, Southern Plains region, analysis for 19Z. Its key and units are in SPC’s picture; what it shows is described beside it.
Analysis SPC mesoanalysis for . The Southern Plains region. Data: NOAA/SPC.

Instability: Mixed-layer CAPE and CIN (J/kg)

How much energy a rising parcel of air near the ground would have. More means stronger updrafts if storms form; the shaded cap (CIN) is what has to be overcome first, and storms may not form at all.

The technical reading

MLCAPE: convective available potential energy of a parcel with the mean properties of the lowest 100 mb, contoured in J/kg. MLCIN, shaded, is the convective inhibition below the level of free convection. Values over about 1,000 J/kg are moderate and over 2,500 large; under strong CIN a high CAPE can stay unused.

An ingredient, not a forecast: SPC’s analysis of the hour, from observations and a short-range model’s first guess. No one value is a warning or an outcome; storms need several ingredients together, and something to start them.

Station and river observations (165)

Surface source current; observed water-level source current. Each reading keeps its own time. Map markers show at most 500 stations and 500 gauges; the complete source directory is paginated.

Circle: surface station; square: water-level gauge. Filled: current reading and source; hollow: stale, unconfirmed or missing observation. Marker color is not a hazard category. Enable “Stations and gauges” in Layers to inspect them on the map.
