No reports of severe weather from a few scattered storms yesterday, with one intriguing exception. A “landspout” was spotted in Carroll County just after 6pm Monday. Classic tornadoes form in supercell thunderstorms that contain their own rotating updraft.
Landspouts occur when you have colliding winds at the surface that will begin to make their own vortex, and then a developing thunderstorm passes overhead.
Updrafts from the passing thunderstorm will pull this rotating vortex skyward and make it look like a classic tornado.
Otherwise: all the severe weather was south of us. And any storm chance stays south and west of us until Friday. Enjoy!
The weather looks meh for Track activities this weekend. There is no particular timing yet on showers and storms Saturday and Sunday, but they don’t look to have severe potential.
