These tutorials as well as your forecasts really are heroic for atmospheric science students like myself. I've recommended your channel to many of my friends. Thanks a million times over!

Thank you for watching!

I cannot wait for the next one!!!

fantastic explanation of the Albq, Amarillo Norman tornado

I tried to numerous videos trying to understand and learn this chart and everyone left me more confused. Every video I watched made me more frustrated than the previous and I was about to give up UNTIL I found these series of videos and I'm so glad I did this guy was fantastic explaining every detail and it paid off. By no means it made me expert but knowing the basics and with practice I'm sure it will get easier. Thank you so much keep up the good work going forward.

@@ConvectiveChronicles Your welcome.

Heyyy... this one looks real similar to OKC's that went up about 6 hours ago. It sure feels like thunderstorms, but the models have them falling apart before they reach my area near Lake Eufaula. Boo. I need rain. Bad.

Your videos are fantastic, and I am thoroughly enjoying them! I do have a question: is a skew t only valid for the time it was sounded? In other words, there is generally a long gap between readings where I live in the northwest, generally 6 am and 6 pm, can you plug in new Temps and dew points from say 4 hours later, or will the atmosphere have change too much to be accurate? Thanks!

Thank you so much! A given skew T is only valid for the time it was created; the atmosphere will often change too much between consecutive soundings.

This was great! I have heard and seen the dry slot in the layers between 85pmb and 350mb. How does that affect the severe weather potential?

Thank you! When you have substantial dry air aloft through a deep layer, a couple things can happen: often the dry air is associated with steep lapse rates and, therefore, strong instability, but the dry air is also often warm, which can yield a strong capping inversion that suppresses convection. Ample dry air aloft also favors more of a damaging wind threat via downbursts, as rain-filled downdrafts evaporate and cool once they hit the dry air, causing them to accelerate and spread out as outflow once they hit the ground. Thus, drier environments favor more outflow-dominant storms (more of a wind threat than a tornado threat, whereas more moist environments help temper the outflow potential of storms.

16:20 does the purple have anything to do with the mixed layer?

No, that profile represents the wet-bulb temperature at every point. I talked briefly about the wet-bulb temperature in Part 3b of this series, but it's basically the lowest temperature air can be cooled to through evaporation at a constant pressure.
