Chicago Storm Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Myself and 'kevlon62' had a decent chase today. We were initially on what ended up being the Norman tornadic supercell. Just about the whole time we were on it the storm was outflow dom. We were able to see a wall cloud for a time. We eventually left the storm...and it then produced the reported tor. We then moved on the the second supercell cluster moving in behind the Norman cell, but it really never got it's act together. Eventually we dropped SW into the Wichita Mountains to make a play on a supercell moving in from the west. This storm combined with the awesome scenic terrain made for great photos. After dark we continued to follow the storm through the mountains and points east. We did see a brief, small cone/needle tornado. Oh, and Wichita Mountains chaser convergence lolz.

wxmeddler Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We got a TVS via TOKC on that cell north of Chickasha. 46 kts gate to gate at 1700 ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Weather Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We got a TVS via TOKC on that cell north of Chickasha. 46 kts gate to gate at 1700 ft. Yep...might be a weak/brief threat but that's coming into OKC right now. No SVR or TOR as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The OKC metro storm is small, but does have a meso inside it. Not presently SVR though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Weather Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The OKC metro storm is small, but does have a meso inside it. Not presently SVR though. I think there's a decent chance there's an EF-0 ongoing at least. Signature is only 400ft up...though not incredibly strong is tight at that level. Could be gone by next scan though...

Memphis Weather Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 And indeed its gone...or at least greatly broadened. SVR issued for OK County. Would think there was a brief spin-up though and could get another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reimer Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We got a TVS via TOKC on that cell north of Chickasha. 46 kts gate to gate at 1700 ft. News 9 already on air. I would bet we already had a brief tornado touchdown based on radar evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well.. that's odd.. AT 1217 AM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADAR DETECTED AN AREA OF PRECIPITATION THAT WILL LIKELY PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS FROM NEAR KINGFISHER EAST TO GUTHRIE... MARSHALL... MULHALL... STILLWATER AND CHANDLER. ALL THIS ACTIVITY WAS MOVING NORTHEAST AT 40 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornadotony Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 That would be all linear activity associated with the cold front. Looking closely at sim ref and updraft helicity, it does not look linear. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye05 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Just thought i'd bring this up. This is a quote from a well respected forecaster on another forum about tomorrow, "In my almost 28 years of living, I've only been as scared over a weather situation as I am for the Great Plains tomorrow once in my life..... and that was the morning of April 27th 2011."

SnowGoose69 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Looking closely at sim ref and updraft helicity, it does not look linear. At all. Its just so hard for me to believe tornadic activity would generate at that hour over a portion of the country which while they do get nocturnal tornadic activity it normally is already ongoing from the day and doesn't begin developing at 9 or 10pm like it might in the SE or TN Valley.

Better than the grocery store bags in tree's Kentucky chase. Was wondering where you've been hiding leading up to this.. Thought you were just away sexting and skyping with the guy you hooked up with during the cruise. Guess I need to actually care whats happening far away from home and I'd have known Joey was out on a mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Forecast soundings tomorrow are pretty nasty in parts of WI and westward into Minnesota...supportive of possible strong tornadoes. The question continues to be whether the really favorable tornado parameters are in a small corridor there or can extend farther south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdrenken Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I will have a write up later today on Tom Stolze and my chase with a few pictures. Started the day on US-36, got a picture of a B-52 circling, moved South past Salina just in time for the 1st Marquette storm. Moved ENE while it cycled...thank God for Salina, and then caught it while South of Solomon. One of my pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
