Despite being an essential part of a severe weather forecaster’s toolkit, hodographs have a notorious learning curve. So, I have put together this 3D animation as a visual aid to help those new to hodographs understand what they’re showing.

My hypothesis for why storms initiated along the dryline in northern Oklahoma last night is that a well-timed packet of gravity waves intersected the boundary.

Drylines are somewhat unique among meteorological boundaries in that they are driven by differences in boundary layer mixing rather than differences in density. Here’s an animation I put together showing how that works:

A defining characteristic of warm core lows is the presence of an anticyclonic circulation of the thermal wind, something that can be made out in satellite loops of Erin this afternoon.

Skew-T diagrams are essential for meteorologists to understand, but without formal training it can be difficult to know where to start. Follow along with me as we build one from scratch and try to make sense of what all those lines mean
