wisconsinwx Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Still not sure on tomorrow and wont be until tomorrow morning. From the pics I've seen so far, COD crew tornado northeast of Emporia was a nice, but skinny tornado. In an ideal world, we get some of the leftovers from the MCS going through Central Iowa and it clears by early morning. Then we get enough daytime heating for storms to form ahead of the main front and energy, and also get a squall line or something to move through. That's probably not going to happen.

on_wx Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Topeka is EF0 (that was fast): http://www.crh.noaa....=68541&source=0 Was just on the phone with our member who was hit by this tornado. He said as his neighbours were coming into his house to use his basement that's when the tornado hit. He said debris filled winds enveloped his house, the power cut, and they pretty much flew down the stairs in panic. An absolutely crazy night.

wisconsinwx Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 GFS is out to 30 hours in terms of 6 hr precip amounts, and based on that, it looks like it still brings convection through the Western Lakes between 0 and 6z Monday. Pretty decent amounts as well so most likely a squall line of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southmdwatcher Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?ctid=953 Osage County KS scanner, it sounds as if the supercell that blew up behind the Reading tornadic storm just went over Quenemo and caused damage. Police was reporting a visible funnel just as the storm entered town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 haha didn't realize this was you, still not completely sold yet. lingering convection could be a big problem, we'll see. The worst would be if your area misses the convection, but then gets affected by the outflow boundary from the convection, cutting off the instability without giving you at least something from the convection. Happened here a couple weeks ago, better not happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to chase if it doesn't look good. You're right, it does. However, I think this will be our last legit chance til mid June. The GFS is warm and dry over my area, and the Euro is cool, obviously giving very little chance of severe storms. Probably overreacting, but this feels like it will be one of the better chances.
