  1. Today's weather word: #Helicity. Sounding it out, you might think it has something to do with #hail, but nope! Instead, it is a measure of low-level wind shear relative to the direction the storm is moving. Greater values indicate enough of a difference to promote rotating updrafts, which promote rotating #supercells and in turn, #tornadoes.
