Ellinwood Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Replacing a spark plug... it's pretty fried. Gonna start the car up soon to see if it's fixed. Sun's peeking out in Great Bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Is anyone thinking near/SE of Wichita, maybe into extreme Northern Oklahoma, or is it more of a nowcast/wait to see something good and drive. I still like ICT, even better than TUL, especially since nobody is going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 No go on the fix... hoping it could be one other minor thing. Still got some time to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Bend- do you think the low now in Colorado will put you back into the warm sector if you stay put? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacChump Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 why rent? i mean, that extra 50 bucks buys a lot of pecan logs when you're sitting in a stuckey's watching tornado footage on the teevee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Y'all are being really critical considering we still have time to play with Getting the rental... going to have to get to Wichita eventually today or tomorrow. We'll make today happen no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Lizard Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Since I thought you were stuck in Great Bend, I think you will wind up on the warm front as the low in Colorado translates Northeast, and you may be in the surprise happy spot for interesting weather. RUC helicity fields aren't too exciting, only drawback I see. But the front could be the magic ingredient. Winds have gone from E to ESE there.

usedtobe Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think I'd stay in the car that was operating the best. Don't want it sputtering when you need to really move it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold214 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 How you guys doing? I still like the area I outlined in red last night (Western half of KS along/near I-70). Dewpoints are substandard, but the airmass out there is still recovering. Hopefully cells go out near the warm front in the area of easterly sfc flow. 1500 J/KG SBCAPE now along and just south of I-70 from the Colorado border eastward to Ellis. Boundary layer CU is beginning to build in this area. It's later than I thought, but the morning convection screwed up the timing. Now we hope for deep convection initiation in the next hour or two. The area to the SE (near the KS/OK border) from like Bucklin KS to Fort Supply OK may be do-able too except that the thick cirrus from the convection in central/southern OK is starting to edge in.

Hitting Jetmore. I think we will head north toward that field developing. Line of cu north south right in front of to the west now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
