cyclone77 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Its southern neighbor looking pretty healthy too. It's gonna be interesting watching how these two cells interact with each other over the next hour or two. Since they're maturing around the same time they may stay side by side for awhile. I thought the northern cell would eat the southern one eventually, but the southern cell took off faster than I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.B. LaForce Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Cell in NW MO at the end of the line near Oregon looks to be dominate, and may split off from the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackH Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The southern storm should have the cleaner inflow too. If I were chasing, I'd make a beeline for the southern storm. Everyone is up on the northern storm and I like the inflow for the southern storm. As you noted, it is completely unobstructed right now... however, there's not much messing with the northern storm, so its obviously still got great potential as well. These could be too pretty potent supercells very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackH Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Northcentral MO storms having cappage issues? Certainly appears so. I thought the two cells out front were going to explode and now they both seem to be struggling. I like tail end charlie further NW, but it also has stayed pretty stagnant for a few scans. I wonder if any of the echoes in Southern Iowa may have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Northcentral MO storms having cappage issues? Sure have that radar presentation, don't they? 700 mb temps running about +11C over that area right now, so it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 On a side note, Norman and parts of the OKC Metro is getting rocked with tennis ball to baseball sized hail right now.

SmokeEater Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 New Day 1 outlook is out, probs are the same. FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST IN NRN TO CNTRL MO AND SRN IA...MESOANALYSIS SHOWS AN IMPRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT WITH MLCAPE VALUES IN THE 2500 TO 3500 J/KG RANGE AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 50-55 KT. IN ADDITION...A 45 TO 55 KT MID-LEVEL JET IS JUXTAPOSED WITH A 30 KT LOW-LEVEL JET CREATING FAVORABLE WIND SHEAR FOR SUPERCELLS AND TORNADOES. AS STORMS BECOME BETTER ROOTED IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER...A TORNADO THREAT SHOULD DEVELOP FROM SRN IA SWD INTO CNTRL MO WHERE AN ISOLATED STRONG TORNADO WILL BE POSSIBLE. ALSO...MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE VERY STEEP AND THIS WILL HELP MAKE LARGE HAIL LIKELY WITH THE MORE INTENSE CORES. THE MORE DOMINANT SUPERCELLS MAY ALSO HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL GREATER THAN 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. SHORT-TERM MODELS SUGGEST THAT STORMS WILL CONSOLIDATE INTO AN MCS AND MOVE SEWD DOWN THE GRADIENT OF STRONG INSTABILITY INTO WRN IL AND ERN MO LATE THIS EVENING WHERE A WIND DAMAGE THREAT MAY BE ENHANCED. THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD EXTEND SWWD ACROSS SW MO BUT IS EXPECTED TO MORE ISOLATED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, that was super fun watching that supercell come right to us in Wisconsin. Too bad it didn't drop a 'nader right there with that view we had. You guys were a huge help to us when we were having internet problems. Without you guys, we would have never known that cell was developing.

ZackH Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The cell southeast of Orient, IA is starting to have a wicked looking hook, but I'm not seeing really any rotation in the lower levels yet. Storm south of Winterset, IA also looks to be getting its act together. Edit - of course as I say that the Orient cell kind of falls apart and lines up with the other cells. Things in Iowa starting to look a little messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
