Disc Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Another velocity hole on the Milan storm. The velocities on the Macksville storm are insane aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUmet Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hearing some of the spotter reports and looking at the radar velocities...it looks like a lot of these cells are cycling directly from one wedge tornado to another, much like May 4, 2007. The cells do not appear to be temporarily weakening during the cycling process like is often the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEHOCEY77 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 about time to switch from the vance radar to the kict radar. almost halfway between right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 This has Witchita in it's sights. I doubt it... again the mesocyclone has occluded and reformed about 6 or 7 miles east. This supercell has done it 3 times now and will keep the thing south of ICT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah southern ICT... but the thing may very well cycle again and reform to the east before it gets to ICT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the southern cell, you can basically see vorticity splitting off to form the next wedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 On the Amarillo radar you can see the leading edge of cooler air moving twoards the dry line. This should initiate more activity in that area withing the next 2 hors. It maybe linear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
