Clouds inhibiting convective initiation…for now (GLD)

Posted in General on June 4, 2015 by Kristin Calhoun.

GOES-14 1-minute satellite imagery showing bands of cumulus clouds covering most of the CWA early this afternoon. This appears to be inhibiting convection, at least for now. However, some breaks in those clouds may be moving into eastern areas from KMCK to KHLC. These areas will need to be monitored for possible towering cumulus development over the next 1-2 hours.

The 1-minute satellite loop shows this nicely.
