| It should be noted that while background 0-1 km SRH values were supportive of low-level mesocyclone development in this case, RB98 suggested that even though large-scale environments may be characterized by instability and shear values that support supercells, local augmentation of these values may determine whether or not supercells become tornadic. Radar imagery indicated that when the supercell thunderstorm encountered this mesoscale boundary around 0413 UTC, the low-level mesocyclone strengthened, as described by Moller et al. |
