So far, what I have discovered is there seems to be an association between temperature and barometric pressure (specifically the 1016 and 1018 mb) that has a huge effect on the production of storms and the direction it gets it’s energy from. I know that storms feed from low temperatures to high temperatures. I know that there is some sort of tie with the 1016 and 1018 mb isobars when it comes to severe weather. I know also that the slower the temperature change the farther the temperatures are and the less energy these storms have. This was found just by observing simple satellite loops at the College of DuPage weather site.
Next is the movement. The movement of the storms and where they go is based on the winds in the 500mb (18289 feet) level of the atmosphere. If one wants to know which way a storm is going to go, just jump up to 18,289 feet and check it out. This was already known and discovered, but it can help tremendously in tracking a storm’s path.
If one was storm spotting or chasing this would prove to be vital in order to position themselves in a safe area for observation. One would have to have internet access to get to the loops and overlays for retrieving this sort of information. You could also use your radar application as well. This would be helpful when forecasting and determining the location you should be at. This an the 1016 and 1018mb and temperatures and other resources that will be discussed later, could get you in a good location.
