patrick7032 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was just north of I-80 on the cell northeast of North Platte. Dropping south now. I wont even mention the tor watch in KS. I was gonna play that area, but thought it was too risky. Now its going to be a wedgefest. Yeah south would be better hope you make it. When I did my first internship my friend who is now a senior at Albany had a phrase you never forgot...."never trust a warm front"....and if you have a double wf I always go for the south one....good hunting.

Indystorm Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'm quite concerned at present about the cell currently at the I-76/I-80 junction riding the interstate ne to Ogallala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold214 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 HRRR still popping cells late in northeast Colorado. Makes sense with instability axis hanging back and more impulses yet to come through. Nice new cell 20E sterling right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I am really struggling with my target area tmrw. The warm front is what my gut is saying where SRH will be maximazed. But the models seem to be shifting west a bit and slowing down the system. The cold front can def have some nice supercells but I feel that activity will line up quicker. Hmmmm....what to do. Warm fronts are amazing when they work out. aka April 9th, 2011 in Iowa. but warm fronts are often cap busts to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The cell that is just entering Custer County, Nebraska has 70 dBZ over 30kft right now, probably putting down tea cup plus size hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 here's the ground truth of that nice anvil. Judging by the location of the overshooting top and the extent of the anvil to the northwest, it is significantly back sheared. Strong updraft.

kevlon62 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 This all takes a way back seat to the Plains tonight but given we weren't outlooked for any severe, it was a respectable evening - two pictures from a couple hours ago when two cells went up in the vicinity. One going severe warned with half dollars reported in northern McHenry County. Lack of upper air support doomed both but they were popping for a bit. Looking south at first wall cloud near/over Huntley. Some upward motion was evident but could not make out any rotation. Looking north at second wall cloud about twenty minutes later between Woodstock/Crystal Lake. This had a bit more going on (and was the SVR cell). I did meet another chaser/spotter who had been up close to witness broad rotation but no upward motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
