What Is Mesoanalysis?
Detailed, hour-by-hour weather analysis of a small area, used to spot where storms will form and how strong they could get. In technical terms: Analysis of mesoscale features (boundaries, instability, shear, moisture) using surface and upper-air data, radar, satellite, and model analyses; the SPC Mesoanalysis page provides hourly RAP-based fields such as CAPE, SRH, and STP.
Also called: SPC Mesoanalysis
