OHSnow Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 That thing is a shower, lol. LOL. I was thinking the same thing. Looks like a sheriffnado to me. I don't see anything but a few light showers in the vicinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 If that second cell is dropping a tornado, I hope people in the Anchorage/St. Matthews/Lyndon area are aware, since the first storm took the same path. They may have let their guard down. EDIT: * AT 907 PM EDT...TRAINED WEATHER SPOTTERS REPORTED A FUNNEL CLOUD NEAR LYNDON...MOVING EAST AT 25 MPH.

CapitalKid Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Strange, strange weather situation unfolding in Louisville. The local TV mets tonight were saying the severe threat was minimal since the temperature didn't get as high as originally forecast. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, training supercells right over Louisville. Thus far there is one confirmed tornado which hit Churchill Downs. Damage to several of the horse barns. Many, many funnel cloud reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen severe weather outbreaks in areas that only reach 70 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen severe weather outbreaks in areas that only reach 70 degrees. Well, that is what they were saying. That the daytime heating didn't occur which was the expected trigger. And now, there's a third storm, over Louisville showing some minimal rotation. Heading in the same basic direction, West Louisville, over St. Matthews and out toward Anchorage. And yes, I thought it was a poor job of forecasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrasher Fan Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 You would think a Tornado Watch (or at least a T'storm watch) for all of northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio will be issued soon. Looks like a nice squall line is developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a nice squall line is developing. You would think. I live in Frankfort, about 50 miles to the east of Louisville. Trying to figure out if these storms will hold together as it comes through here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalKid Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 WAVE-TV is saying there is a gas leak around Churchill Downs and that some of the horse barns are so damaged that horses are actually trapped... Also, getting some reports of another tornado touchdown in Bluegrass Industrial Park/Middletown area. Both highly dense areas of Louisville.

PSUBlizzicane2007 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Wanted to add my opinion on this situation- Crazy situation over Louisville. The northern edges of every cell scraped where I was, and the first set off the sirens which was surprising to me. With respect to the SPC, while I understand the difficulties of forecasting situations like these, I don't appreciate how they are showing almost zero interest in this area... not even a Mesoscale Discussion! More hook echoes still popping up on radar, too. Hopefully they will have a proper review on this incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I think the SPC is a bit surprised by all of these rotating cells over north KY - as well as the local office. Obviously some sort of boundary induced event - would have to look back at the radar from earlier this afternoon or visible images The supercells were smaller than and allm over a thin boundry. Not suprised models couldn't resolve these features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
