Re: Tornadoic Activity

LI phil,

I believe that the mid-level dry air enhances the mixing in the troposphere. With the feeder bands and the abundant low level moisture, it creates mixing also lowers the cloud base altitude. If you have looked at a severe weather threat index they always metion the presence of low level moisure. Supercells spin up very fast in hurricanes because most of the parameters for severe weather are there.
