turtlehurricane Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Who's to say that the 60dbz pixel wasn't debris from what was hit earlier being suspended in the air by the RFD? Really is no way to prove either way what it was. Yup, no way to prove that exact pixel is debris related since there is plenty of hail in the region. The main debris clue was reflectivity near the tornado going from a spiral to a blob within 5 minutes. I wish I had access to dual pol, that's a surefire way to distinguish between precipitation and debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EquusStorm Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It is never a good thing when the SPC puts out MCDs basically for a single storm. I have my doubts it's going to hold together into KC, but as it stands, without any sudden confirmations of towns swept clean elsewhere, it looks like that cell may well be the storm of the day. The radar images from when it was on the the OK/KS line were horrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think we're gonna get some scary reports out of Wichita through the morning hours. Hopefully this thing does not maintain strength thru KC or we'll have a whole new problem on our hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 KSN reported a few minutes ago that the tornado reported on the Salina cell was "erroneous" although given the radar appearance I'm very skeptical. Either way, it looks like it will miss the core of Salina to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickSumner Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Cell near Emporia really losing steam. Doesn't mean it can't get it's act back together but I think it's unlikely.

Crazieman Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Update from Wichita - Damage seems to be moderate as the evaluations come in. It did indeed strike a poor area of town, but a lot of reports are indicating modest damage, nothing swept away, things like that. Still listening on all media inputs.

nwohweather Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 This event just goes to show what a strong storm system can do at night. Two years ago my town got hit by an F-4 at midnight and that was with a 998 mb low. Right now we've got two 994 mb centers with an extremely amplified jet. That just spells terrible news and we're seeing the consequences. Btw I think 118 reports of tornadoes should quiet those talking bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The squall line has 3000-4000 J/kg most unstable CAPE to work with in TX and OK. There could be a tremendous amount of damage from hail and winds since it's going to hit such a broad area. Probably going to get some tornadoes along it too, and those sort of tornadoes are harder to foresee than supercell ones generally. Just takes a little notch and that can happen fast.
