SmokeEater Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Multivortex tornado on the ground with the initial Norman cell, with debris in the air. Becoming rain wrapped, don't know why they cancelled the TW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Mike Morgan KFOR stating 1/4 mile wide TOG near Shawnee, OK @ I-40 & US 177 TOR just expired for it. Not too impressed with the velocities atm. EDIT: I dont have access to higher res stuff though. either way they need to reissue it asap it appears.

Memphis Weather Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Multivortex tornado on the ground with the initial Norman cell, with debris in the air. Becoming rain wrapped, don't know why they cancelled the TW. Velocity doesn't match with that at ALL. Signature looks much much weaker. I'm siding with OUN for the moment...we all know KFOR usually gets crazy with these events more than the other outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Is KFOR running minutes and minutes behind? What's all this about a stovepipe tornado on the ground when there isn't even a tornado warning Edit, he says debris ball now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not be the best time for me to be making jokes but to be honest with you after living in that area for a long time I can say thats not an unusual occurrence.

iowahawkeyedave Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 No other station is reporting what Mike Morgan is saying, are we missing something? Exactly, the chaser for KWTV did report a funnel halfway to the ground but no multivortex tornado, but that was before his cell connection cut out. Although Brandon Ivey did also report a tornado in the same location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALID 132240Z - 132345Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 161 CONTINUES. TORNADO POTENTIAL IS INCREASING LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS ERN PORTIONS OF WW 161 MAY NEED AN UPGRADE TO A TORNADO WATCH. CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED. AS LOW LEVEL SHEAR INCREASES ACROSS SERN KS INTO SW/W-CNTRL MO...SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS HAVE SHOWN SIGNS OF STRONGER ROTATION OVER THE LAST HALF HOUR OR SO. IN FACT...WSR-88D VAD WIND PROFILES FROM KINX SHOW LARGE LOW LEVEL HODOGRAPHS FAVORABLE FOR LOW LEVEL ROTATION.

RCNYILWX Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I had mentioned to someone 2 days ago I liked today better for OK/ S KS than I did tomorrow, my main reaason was I thought winds at 500mb were a bit stronger than I normally like to see tomorrow...now you can add in the issue of very late initiation and the possibility AM convection may screw things up (although the activity now over OK may kill any morning stuff). A big reason 5/24 was so bad in OK last year was that the activity the evening prior on 5/23 prevented AM crap from ever forming and ruining the 24th. The best idea tomorrow for you might be to position yourself somewhere near the KS/NE border, I initially wanted to say 135/70 intersection in C KS but that probably would be too far south to commit initially) you can sort of cover yourself for both DL activity in S KS or the warm frontal activity by staying in southern NE at first. That sounds like a really good plan due to the lingering uncertainty. Hopefully we can swing it. We probably need to get back here early enough on Sunday in case severe wx pops here too. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALID 132247Z - 140015Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 160 CONTINUES. TORNADO WATCH 160 CONTINUES UNTIL 02Z. LARGE HAIL ASIDE...TORNADO POTENTIAL MAY FURTHER INCREASE THROUGH SUNSET...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST/WEST-CENTRAL OK. WW 160 ADJACENT PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST TX/EASTERN TX PANHANDLE ARE BEING MONITORED FOR AN ADDITIONAL WATCH THIS EVENING. SUPERCELLS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP/SPLIT OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS ACROSS SOUTHWEST OK INTO MUCH OF CENTRAL OK...WITH LONGER-LIVED/SEVERE PRODUCING EAST-NORTHEASTWARD MOVING RIGHT-MOVING SUPERCELLS. WITHIN A CORRIDOR OF MODERATE INSTABILITY /1500-2500 J PER KG MLCAPE/...VERY FAVORABLE WIND PROFILES WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT LONG-LIVED SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL/TORNADOES WITHIN THIS SAME CORRIDOR...WITH A NORTHWARD EXPANSION INTO ADDITIONAL PORTIONS OF WESTERN/NORTHERN OK AND PERHAPS ADJACENT NORTHWEST TX AS A LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY/DRYLINE AND ASSOCIATED MOIST SECTOR RETREATS. REGARDING THE TORNADO THREAT...THE AFOREMENTIONED SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN ESPECIALLY TOWARD/AFTER SUNSET. THIS LLJ INCREASE...COUPLED WITH A MORE DISCRETE INITIATION/LONG-LIVED SUPERCELLULAR MODE AND MODIFYING OUTFLOW-AIDED TRIPLE POINT...MAY LEAD TO A HEIGHTENED TORNADO THREAT ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST/WEST-CENTRAL OK.
