[--MAIN HOME--] [--ALL HABYHINTS--] WET MICROBURST SOUNDING Mid-level dry air Similar to goal post sounding but with more moisture (higher precipitable water in sounding) The dry air aloft will entrain into the downdraft and cause evaporative cooling. This increases the negative buoyancy and can result in microbursts and macrobursts If supercells develop they are most likely to be high precipitation supercells Most common severe weather: winds > 58mph, small hail near the 3/4" threshold, tornadoes possible (depends on low level shear and CAPE) Sounding most commonly found east of Rockies EXAMPLE:
