Live Blog: 11 May 2310 UTC – 3DVAR

Composite reflectivity and wind vectors at 1.5 km MSL (upper left), Max Vorticity in the vertical column (upper right), max updraft of about 28 m/s (lower left), and 30-minute track of maximum vorticity (lower right).

Brian and Scott have been watching a storm in E Colorado that produced hail and wind damage.  They commented that the 3DVAR analysis seems to produce a very realistic wind field at the 1.5 km level for the storm of interest.
