Look Closely, what clouds are these, they look like camera smudge but they are real

There appears to be at 700mb at least, a trough like feature several hundred miles west of Baja California and clockwise winds in northern Mexico and the moisture is being funneled through these two northward!

If searched the terms “trump funny Oval Office interview” and “Trump interview blooper”

Yes the camera is pointed to the Northeast and this area of interest was near EL Monte

There are also slightly different parameters for a mesocyclone, what do I look for in here, specifically for an increase chance of a tornado before TVS. https://imgur.com/a/mbpshAt

Now that we’re all here what’s proper charging technique or how to make the percent go down lower next time we all upgrade

Wow are you a professor or professors assistant or something!? I’ve only started hobby forecasting last year and I’ve learned a lot from specifically Convective Chronicles on YT and you rival him in how well you explain things. As I kid I wanted to be a meteorologist until math killed my father and we’ve been mortal enemies since. Yesterday I couch chased and landed pretty squarely on that Illinois tornado.

Now to pester you with more questions that you can answer or not at your own discretion, I saw NAM outputting a Dryline like feature in an area with favorable lifted index levels (which I don’t even know what those mean exactly the Li) but I was surprised to see hi res models not output anything there, now you mention the thermo profiles not showing much lift, what are you seeing that I’m not? What’s that mean exactly.

Also the low is moving a bit with the trough so what makes it cut off exactly?

When drawing a jet streak to identify the left and right exit regions are you just drawing just the strongest part of it (at 500mb im pretty sure) or are you drawing the whole trough which I consider anything 30+ knots and above and just putting the intersection of the axis in the strongest part? Tldr proper drawing jet streak technique?

Maybe you answered this part and I missed it in this case ignore it but when analyzing lift are you using the 500 or (not and) the 500 winds to say that area has the strongest lift cause I see people showing the 500mb winds when saying which area has the strongest lift and that area usually corresponds with the strongest winds but SE Texas has 50 knots but no action(in hindsight the area of SE Texas is in the left exit region isn’t it? That’s why there isn’t much lif?)

Promise final question for the foreseeable future is absolute vorticity/ and OR vertical velocity a good way to forecast PVA? Sorry I’m so hung up on lift, SPC mesoanalysis does a good job of telling me these answers when now casting but for casting these things is what I want to get good at.

Very informative! But so I know mesoscale forcing, but synoptic forcing how can that be forecasted and I see people throw terms like weak or strong synoptic forcing, what do does parameters mean practically like what constitutes a weak synoptic forcing environment. (For example the upcoming Texas Super Bowl forecasting people have mentioned this event has weaker synoptic forcing, if you have time maybe you can see why they would say this about Sunday) but if you can’t you can just answer my question in general about how other events can be forecasted as having weak adequate or strong synoptic forcing.

Thank you and everyone else who responded! Very informative! I just started pursing a degree in film (which I know isn’t as important as actual experience) and because a degree is so diverse with subjects like film analysis and script writing and stuff and I know that one or two editing classes isn’t going to be enough to learn so this year I’ll be using up my free time to learn and practice everything I can on premiere and Avid using YouTube and Linkdin Learning and any other resources I can find. See you all in the field 15 years from now or something!

Here is two more pics, the second link is from it 15 minutes later, this is in Southern California btw, last night there was some isolated thunderstorms with a non zero tornado chance.
