4 Panel Display | Animated Loop Helicity (0-1 Km) This is the 0-1 km (approximately 0-3,000 Ft. AGL) storm relative helicity which is a measure of the amount of low level wind shear available for tornadogenesis. This is not a good indicator of supercell potential which is related more strongly to 0-6 KM vertical shear. Values greater than 100 m**2/s**2, do suggest an increased threat of tornadoes provided a supercell is present. Larger values are generally better, but there are no clear "boundaries" between non-tornadic and significant tornadic supercells. The arrows indicate the approximate right supercell storm motion using the Bunkers technique. |
