OceanStWx Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ocean, you're in ME now? Yes sir, been here for about a month now. Which explains why I'm getting my severe weather fix here. Still like the environment for that cell that moved through Valley. Wouldn't be shocked to see that start to tighten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Tornado being reported 2 or 3 E of Logan in Harrison County, IA. After that cap bust a couple days ago it is nice to see Atlantic surrounded by tornado warnings (from a forecast standpoint of course, I have nothing against Atlantic otherwise).

Indystorm Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 The number of confirmed tornado reports so far serves to remind me that an outbreak can occur with dews in the 50's. Score one for upper air support for this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iastfan112 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Storms seem to be winding down a bit as they move away from the better instability, doesn't shock me, temps maxed out at 47(40 now) here today and dew point is a mere 39 here atm.

Score one for upper air support for this system. On March 13, 1990 there was an F4 tornado in Nebraska that was on the ground for 131 miles. Temps were only around 67-69F and dews of 56-58F.

They still look pretty good to me. The Des Moines area looks like they'll be getting in on the fun here in an hour or so. The warm front is in the southern edge of the city now, and making a move back north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 They still look pretty good to me. The Des Moines area looks like they'll be getting in on the fun here in an hour or so. The warm front is in the southern edge of the city now, and making a move back north. I'm contemplating going out as they get closer depending on how the next hour pans out (live in Ankeny). Would love to see it hold together at least as a last hurrah before the much colder weather comes back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see it hold together at least as a last hurrah before the much colder weather comes back in. You're north of the warm front there, so I'd head a little south and play the warm front near or just a bit south of Des Moines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 That's what I'm thinking. Somewhere between Hwy 65 & I-35 and south or west of that area. Right as I post that, I see the warning on the edge of what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0250 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0533 PM CDT TUE MAR 22 2011 AREAS AFFECTED...SWRN IA...ERN KS AND WRN MO CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 53... VALID 222233Z - 222330Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 53 CONTINUES. GREATEST THREAT FOR TORNADOES IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ACROSS SWRN-SCNTRL IA EARLY THIS EVENING. ISOLATED SUPERCELLS COULD ALSO DEVELOP FARTHER SW ACROSS ERN KS INTO NWRN MO POSING A THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. DEEP SURFACE LOW WAS SITUATED OVER THE NEB/IA BORDER NEAR OMAHA. A DRYLINE EXTENDS SWD FROM THE LOW THROUGH SERN NEB INTO ERN KS...WITH A WARM FRONT STRETCHING EWD THROUGH SRN IA INTO NCNTRL IL. A PACIFIC COLD FRONT EXTENDS FARTHER W FROM SERN NEB INTO N-CNTRL AND SWRN KS...AND THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD EVENTUALLY MERGE WITH THE DRYLINE. UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR IS QUITE NARROW WITH ZONE OF 1000-1500 J/KG MLCAPE FROM ERN KS...WRN MO AND SWRN IA. STRONG PRESSURE FALLS ARE OCCURRING EAST OF SURFACE LOW ACROSS SWRN IA IN RESPONSE TO DEEPER ASCENT WITHIN EJECTING UPPER JET EXIT REGION. GREATEST TORNADO THREAT WILL LIKELY PERSIST ACROSS SWRN-SCNTRL IA NEXT COUPLE HOURS AS STORMS THAT DEVELOP ALONG DRYLINE LIFT NEWD AND INTERACT WITH WARM FRONT WHERE 0-1 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY IS MAXIMIZED. STORMS WILL SUBSEQUENTLY BECOME ELEVATED AS THEY MOVE DEEPER INTO THE COOL SECTOR...BUT COULD STILL POSE A THREAT FOR ISOLATED LARGE HAIL. STORMS COVERAGE WILL REMAIN ISOLATED WITH SWD EXTENT THROUGH ERN KS AND WRN MO WHERE DEEPER FORCING IS MORE LIMITED AND CAP WILL LIKELY REMAIN STRONGER.
