Abstract

The concept of anticipating supercell motion with multiple datasets in an operational setting is addressed. In addition, the most common propagation mechanisms that regulate both supercell and nonsupercell thunderstorm motion are reviewed. At minimum, supercell motion is governed by advection from the mean wind and propagation via dynamic vertical pressure effects. Therefore, one can use a hodograph to make predictions of supercell motion before thunderstorms de...
