To further evaluate the characteristics of the
squall line event simulation, we define the longitudinal center of the
squall line as the meridionally averaged zonal maximum of the radar reflectivity in the 26[degrees]-38[degrees]N, 92[degrees]-80[degrees]W domain as illustrated in Figs.

squall line was marching across the Oklahoma prairie.
The November 15 scourge of twisters formed in a

Although the pilot requested assistance in avoiding the "
squall line" noted by the controller, he did not provide the pilot with the information as required.

Simply put, a
squall line is a solid or near-solid line of thunderstorms.
This
squall line propagated eastward and maintained its identity until 0000 UTC, May 27 (not shown), when it was found over eastern Mississippi (MS), northern Alabama (AL), and eastern Tennessee (TN).

Once this happens, deep showers and thunderstorms form, commonly producing a
squall line in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
The hourly precipitation forecasts (Figure 4(a)) for the August 01, 2009, prefrontal
