Ed Lizard Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 It started rotating SW of Downtown before it got going. So much for capping ruining our day locally... The Aggies released a balloon at 9 am this moring, per HGX disco, and their sounding was capped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Storm between Lufkin and Shreveport does look interesting... Good, I picked the right storm to target. It just had that appearance on radar of a suspicious nature about an hour ago. Looks to be heading about 10-15 miles south of Shreveport if it maintains strength.

New MD out for parts of AR MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 2307 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0643 PM CST TUE NOV 08 2011 AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL THROUGH ERN AR CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE VALID 090043Z - 090145Z BAND OF STORMS FROM SWRN THROUGH S-CNTRL AR HAS RECENTLY SHOWN AN INCREASE IN INTENSITY. CONCERN IS THAT SEVERE THREAT MAY PERSIST ANOTHER FEW HOURS AND EXTEND INTO CNTRL AND ERN AR. AREA IS BEING MONITORED FOR A TORNADO WATCH. STORMS JUST WEST OF LITTLE ROCK HAVE SHOWN AN INCREASE IN INTENSITY. STORMS WILL BE MOVING EWD INTO A REGION WHERE THE LLJ WILL UNDERGO AN INCREASE TONIGHT RESULTING IN LARGE HODOGRAPHS. WEAK INSTABILITY COULD SERVE AS A POTENTIAL LIMITING FACTOR...BUT MAY NOT DECREASE FAST ENOUGH TO RULE OUT A THREAT OF ISOLATED TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY GIVEN PERSISTENT THETA-E ADVECTION ALONG THE LLJ.

David Reimer Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I've uploaded over 150 images I took yesterday afternoon. Here's a few of the second tornado during it's ropeout phase. It quickly transitioned from a large barrel to a rope, as you can see in these photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another, less appealing note, at least one home has been destroyed by that potentially long track/large tornado across areas south and east of Shreveport this evening. http://www.ksla.com/...oyed-by-tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 For those that have yet to see it... Tipton/Fort Cobb Mesonet info... "Our technicians have returned from Tipton and Fort Cobb with amazing stories. We'll post more pictures tomorrow, but here's what our calibration staff have been able to retrieve from the recovered dataloggers: Tipton recorded a wind gust of 86.4 mph before it was destroyed. The anemometer has yet to be found. The site experienced a pressure drop of 47.16 mb in 1 minute, recording a low of 913.47 mb! Fort Cobb recorded a wind gust of 91.4 mph before it was driven into the ground. It had a more gradual pressure drop of 14 mb, recording a low of 944.81 mb."

Presumably Tipton made it through the center, while Cobb was on the edge of the circulation, I guess. Doesn't beat TWISTEX's record low from the Manchester tornado, which was likely a much stronger tornado. Amazing, mathematically, given all the gyrations of VORTEX to place turtles and TWISTEX to place probes, that two Mesonets were hit. Tim Samaras should just drop 120 probes around Oklahoma and wait :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 For those that haven't seen it. From the Texas Tech team, what would go on to become the Tipton tornado. In the image south is the top of the image, and the hook of the supercell is moving towards the bottom left corner. Pronounced RFD cut and anticyclonic pendant is evident at this time, including a tight anticyclonic couplet (tornado?) (left center of the image).
