Convection within the front can be recognised with the
help of the radar image. The intensity is projected in the dBZ scale where hail is likely at 50 and highly
likely above 54 dBz. Some convection can be noticed also over north-eastern Turkey.
26 May 2006, 11:31 UTC
The strong convection over central Turkey goes on. A few red dots with reflectivity around 55 dBz can be recognised.
26 May 2006, 11:41 UTC
Reflectivity shows a temporary weakening, but
it is still above 40 dBz.
26 May 2006, 11:51 UTC
The development continues.
26 May 2006, 12:01 UTC
The development continues. Small red dot with reflectivity above 55 dBz can be seen over
central Turkey.
26 May 2006, 12:21 UTC
The development continues. The red area becomes larger, and single red dots can be seen over
north-eastern Turkey.
26 May 2006, 12:31 UTC
The development continues.
26 May 2006, 12:41 UTC
The development continues.
26 May 2006, 12:51 UTC
At the leading edge of the frontal zone a line of strong convection can be
recognised. Three cells, with reflectivity about 60 dBz can be noticed. In this
area hail occurence is highly probable.
26 May 2006, 13:01 UTC
The big part of central Turkey is covered by a large MCSs. The radar shows high reflectivity, especially at the leading
edge of the MCS.
Reflectivity around 50 dBz can be noticed far to the north-east, accompanied by
the prefrontal convergence line.
26 May 2006, 13:11 UTC
Situation similar to the one 10
minutes before.
26 May 2006, 13:31 UTC
A slow weakening of the system shown in the
reduction of reflectivity can be noticed.
26 May 2006, 13:41 UTC
Situation similar to the one 10
minutes before.
26 May 2006, 13:51 UTC
Situation similar to the one 10
minutes before.
26 May 2006, 14:01 UTC
The MCS over central Turkey
is still quite big, but the radar shows decrease of reflectivity which is a sign of
the slow decay of convection.
