Chinook Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Spotter Network Chaser Chris Collura reported brief rain-wrapped tornado just east of Russel. Radar shot from UEX looking at Russell. Pretty good rotation seen on the Level 3 Meso indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 had a bad mud situation south of Mankato but thankfully got out, almost to Beloit then dropping south to get on the new storms in sw/southern KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weunice Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Are there any websites making use of this new system, where you can see at a glance? I hope that the volume of information today doesnt make it too slow but I wrote something mostly for my personal use that takes this into account. http://wxscout.com/ When you get to the site click on Summary in the upper right corner. If you see the icon that looks like this: The algorithm has detected TORNADO...POSSIBLE I am using NWS sources and WUnderground for radar so you may see a delay of 5 minutes or so with some warnings and warnings will linger for as long as 15 minutes past expiration. They are noted as expired though. During major outbreaks things may get slow but that has more to do with the volume at NWS and Wundergound than anything. Works best with a recent version of Firefox, Chrome or Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 SW KS cell starting has a TW. Cells trying to form SW into OK and TX panhandle. Looks like the negative height tendencies are starting to kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Cells keep developing in SW KS... Those should become monster updrafts down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Good luck, Joe! Stay safe. Good Luck Joe! Hope you have a good time and stay safe. Thanks. Heading west towards St. John, KS...Then SW to the new tor warned cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Think the two cells near DDC are the first to have serious potential over the next few hours. two cells near DDC just went into tornado warning. Looks like a hook echo is hitting the DDC radar, but it is hard to tell. edit: DDC cell looks much better on 3.5 tilt since it's so close to the radar.

EquusStorm Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 That Norfolk, NE cell looks like it's dropping MONSTER hail based on reflectivity and SPC reports... not TOR warned at the moment but still one of the nastiest looking cells on radar. I assume it may be elevated to a degree? There's some rotation with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUmet Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The inversion appears to be quite a bit weaker and more elevated on the 17z balloon launch from OUN as compared to model forecast soundings and current RUC analysis. This may have implications for initiation at points farther south. Compare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Think the two cells near DDC are the first to have serious potential over the next few hours. Am in full agreement. And look at the clearing commencing over western OK in front of the dry line. Things will certainly become more surface based there and eastward.

EquusStorm Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Definitely elevated but indeed, likely a monster hail producer. Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. SPC storm reports page shows seven large hail reports, all of which were along the path of this one cell... a pretty impressive little storm! Even being an elevated storm, I wouldn't want to be near that thing with anything that could be damaged by hail. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEHOCEY77 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 165... VALID 141844Z - 141945Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 165 CONTINUES. THE THREAT FOR SIGNIFICANTLY TORNADIC SUPERCELLS IS INCREASING OVER PARTS OF SWRN KS INCLUDING THE DODGE CITY AREA. INFLOW INTO DISCRETE SUPERCELLS EVOLVING OVER MEADE AND GRAY/FORD COUNTIES IS LIKELY BECOMING SURFACE BASED PER MODIFIED RUC/OBSERVED SOUNDINGS. SBCAPE VALUES OF 2000-3000 J/KG AMIDST STRONG DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL SUPPORT RAPID INTENSIFICATION WITH THESE STORMS. STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR -- 0-1 KM SRH OF 297 M2/S2 PER HAVILAND KS PROFILER THAT ALSO INDICATES A LARGE AMOUNT OF STREAMWISE VORTICITY CONCENTRATED IN THE LOWEST 0.5 KM AGL -- COULD SUPPORT SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES. ADDITIONAL CLUSTERS OF STORMS INCLUDING SUPERCELLS FARTHER NORTH ACROSS THE WW AREA WILL POSE MAINLY A LARGE/VERY LARGE HAIL THREAT AND PERHAPS A COUPLE OF TORNADOES BEFORE A MORE FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT FOR SFC-BASED SUPERCELLS ARRIVES WITHIN A FEW HOURS. ..COHEN.. 04/14/2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkrangers Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Think the two cells near DDC are the first to have serious potential over the next few hours. The main cell down there is going to pass near Greensburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
