The 1965 Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak has been a subject of focused research for me. I plan to write a book on the event, and in fact have got a prologue and first chapter already written. Chapter two has been on hold while I've worked on getting a handle on the meteorology of the event.
Yesterday, after a 500-mile drive to the WFO at State College, PA, I finally acquired some critical insights that will allow me to makes sense of an exhaustive set of model simulations I have for the event.
I'm not going to write all about my project here since I just completed a time-consuming post in my blog, complete with a couple samples--i.e. a map showing model CAPE and low-level shear, and a forecast sounding for KGRR. But I thought I'd let the Stormtrack community know. Anyone who has an interest in this historic tornado outbreak, click here to read my writeup.
