Abstract

An attempt is made to relate the occurrences and locations of severe local storms to a large-scale feature of the atmosphere, the circulation at 500 mb. The regional and seasonal distributions of a selected list of severe local storms, which occurred over the ten-year period 1942–1951, are discussed. The association of these storms with fronts is given, along with average directions of the 500 mb flow upstream from the severe storm area. The correlations of the flow pattern at 500 mb with the occurrence and positions of severe local storms are presented.
