Thundersnow12 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I wouldn't say it's surprising... Everything seems to be going as planned thus far. Dick Mcgowan saying he got within yards of a stovepipe down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 amazing watching the supercell to its southeast just vanish. Yeah, and when the remnants got sucked into the western supercell it seemed to strengthen that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Dick Mcgowan saying he got within yards of a stovepipe down there. I went back and forth a few times last night deciding whether or not to make the trip down to NE. Kansas. As you can see I didn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 the new hotness.. and only out to 21z tomorrow afternoon.. I assume the zone will continue just about due east from there. The SREF has been pretty consistent in honing in on the Eastern Iowa/Wisconsin/Illinois border area the last couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The 0z NAM is coming in with early initiation, by 15z across IA/MO. The 60kt H5 winds punching into the warm sector before noon is not helping. The same type of ill-timing that screwed the major event in the Plains last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 So how far is that line of storms approaching Des Moines going to make it? If it makes it all the way to the lake, it better wrap up before 6 or 7 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
