andyhb Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 New meso trying to organize on the cell. Storm is in the vicinity of 200-400 m2/s2 effective SRH per latest mesoanalysis. Hey, I saw Chumpson lurking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 That southern cell has undergone several cell mergers on its sw flank that have been interesting to watch and have not appreciably disrupted the inflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Nice OFB just south of I-70 in Kansas at the time I write, Thursday morning. This is separate from the synoptic boundary up in Iowa with that dry east flow. I always liked these setups on the OFB. Still some questions with ongoing rain in NW Missouri, but imagine the OFB will lift north this afternoon. The lifting OFB and heating should promote a nice rate of destabilization in and around a triangle from MHK to STJ to LNK. I often prefer rate of destabilization over absolute instability. Believe the morning NAM is capping things too long - It kind of punts. Short wave looks to come out late in the day, per vapor, but still with a little more vertical shear than yesterday afternoon. Low level shear should be robust on the retreating OFB. Chasers take care to avoid the hail; probably another one of those days. Still a slight risk day, high-end slight on the hail. Maybe a small 10% tornado when afternoon OFB position is more certain? Chasers good luck and be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reimer Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm likely about to pull out of Dallas and up Interstate 35 to Northern Oklahoma. I'm not totally confident convection will fire at all this evening, but my goal is to get lightning photography. The overall low shear values along with slow storm motion should allow me to opportunity for some lightning photography between about 8 PM and 12 AM this evening.

Indystorm Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'd watch development of the cell approaching Nebraska City now and others in the Beatrice area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 yeah cell NE of Beatrice is looking real good.... could have a TOR candidate soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.B. LaForce Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Semi off-topic question here. The stable wave clouds in this pic (NW Mizzou), They are clouds that are stuck in a stable layer. I'm assuming they oscilate via the Brunt Vaisala frequency, but what exactly causes them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 yeah cell NE of Beatrice is looking real good.... could have a TOR candidate soon... mid level meso really ramped up after it threw off a left split. Will be interesting to see if the cells to its immediate south hamper it for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Looking like that cell next to Nebraska city is weakening in rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 yeah it appears those little cells to the SE of the big one choked off some of the richer inflow.... next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 LB- those are typically formed from very warm, moist bouyant air being lifted from unstable source air into an airmass that has more near surface stable air mostly I believe. And sometimes its simply an indication of the warm air advection process occuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It's really trying now on cam but nothing yet. On a side note, I'm going to have one heckuva light show later. Edge of the clouds are filtering into my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Ridiculous supercell in S TX, KMFE sustained @ 53, gusting to 74, right under the hook. Mission, TX is getting rocked right now. Too many box alarms to count, going out every second, and now a house collapsed with people trapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
