Note the legend in the lower left-hand corner of the display. Using the Volume Browser and the RUC40: the green (tan) vectors represent right-moving (left-moving) supercell motion, and the blue vectors represent the 0-6km mean wind. The distance-speed tool has been used to track observed storm motion. Speed in knots. All slides hereafter will have this convention. Note: the supercell took a "hard" right turn toward the south. The RUC did reasonably well, and even "caught on" to the strong rightward deviation toward the end.
