I forecast HP storms yesterday in IL and was very wrong. The ILX 21z sounding might tell half the story, with dry air above 700mb (along with a small capping inversion, potentially due to subsidence from the earlier MCS). Low LCLs may also have forced narrow, inefficient updrafts
So - genuine question - why was every single open warm sector tornado yesterday completely rain free?
I certainly expected to see HP/rainwrapped messes. Instead everything was dry and photogenic. Not to mention cyclical and productive. ????
