Description:"During the late afternoon of March 23, 1995 severe thunderstorms developed rapidly and moved east and southeast across parts of southeast North Carolina. The thunderstorms produced golf ball size hail and winds greater than 50 kt (26 m s) at numerous locations. One particular storm complex split into two separate severe cells with one cell moving right of the mean wind, and the other cell moving left of the mean wind. Doppler radar storm-relative velocity data indicated cyclonic rotation in the low and midlevels of the right-moving storm and anticyclonic rotation in the midlevels of the left-moving storm ... this paper will describe the actual splitting process as it appeared in reflectivity and velocity data from the Wilmington, NC (KLTX) WSR-88D radar"--Introduction.
