B-Rent Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Folks in Buffalo and potentially Lebanon should be in safeareas now. Not something to mess around with. Buffalo is a town of around 5000 people, very rural area. Lebanon is around 15000 a little more urbanized. The state park I mentioned, is the county line east of buffalo, where it makes 2 90 degree turns. Probably upwards of 500 people in campers and tents, this could be bad.

B-Rent Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Lebanon, MO (Population: 14,292) looks to be next in the path. Hope everyone is in their safe spot. I've been calling friends to wake them up. Sent from my iPad HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NrnILStormChaser Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 :EDIT: Crap the image came out like garbage... here is the link http://beta.wxcaster...&STATIONID=kict Better cooling aloft sneaks in throughout the afternoon, good speed and directional shear, but shallow moisture and meager instability have me questioning the risk up on the "northern" play of this system. I've liked southeast KS into SC NE all along but haven't really seen anything to make me want to jump at this one. Well my target essentially verified today... I have liked the triple point since the beginning of this system and highlighted the areas from SC NE into E KS as my "zone". From a forecasting stand point it was a success (I did expect a couple tornadoes) but from a human standpoint I wish it busted due to the mass destruction in Harveyville etc. Bittersweet tonight.

Memphis Weather Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Is the signature shunted northward from the mean motion of the storm? A bit...its got more of a "smeared" look now that's expanded a bit upstream of the remnant circulation... New meso is trying to go though...so could get another touchdown soon...

Thrasher Fan Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The speed at which these cells are moving puts amazing amounts of pressure on SPC to get the warnings out far enough ahead to give people time to react. This happening in pitch darkness makes even tougher. Looks like a possible recycling of the storm to the south on latest scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
