Mesoscale Convective Vortice-MCV
      #92460 - Sat Mar 31 2012 09:25 AM

This MCV has been moving eastward at 25mph, just south of the Interstate 10 corridor since it left Houston,TX two days ago. There isn't a lot of heavy weather with the system but it has spawned several slow moving thunderstorms that in turn launched flash flood warnings. I received about 0.17 inches in less than 20 minutes.

SPC has issued 2 separate Mesoscale Convective Discussions this morning for the system. It's worth keeping an eye or two on throughout the day.

According to one source a MCV is affecting west central Florida today as I write. Very interesting radar signature, with characteristics of circulation and certainly rapidly developing strong T Storms.
Another feature is in the central gulf about 200 miles west of this one..
I started to write earlier today that such a feature could lead to an early development out of the GOM in May this year, what with the wild contrasts in air masses now over the CONUS.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
