SmokeEater Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Probably reporting the one from earlier. Besides it's Roger Hill, he can get a tornado no matter how messy the storm is Says on his FB it was on the ground for 9 minutes. Cone to elephant trunk, to rope out.

SluggerWx Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Our best footage from tonight will come via stills from all the video we recorded. Pretty sure we saw 2 or three brief, rope spin up tornadoes. We were on the eastern side so the whole thing was backlit. Somehow ran into two vans on a chasing tour, as well as the local Fox Storm Tracker guy here in Denver. The damn cell didn't move. We were in perfect position but it just wouldn't go anywhere - Wall cloud must have moved maybe 4 miles in the 30-45 minutes it was solid and in tact. I'll post some vid from the stills when my cousin uploads it to youtube. Pretty fun night - and it was his first time seeing anything like that. It was my first time chasing in the rockies/plains - certainly won't be my last! On another note, we have probably at least 50 cloud to ground strikes on video - some at super close range. I was able to pause the video and see some pretty crazy stuff - look forward to posting it in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 This was from the cell east of Cheyenne, WY. Hey were you guys out yesterday? We saw another college-looking group north of Pine Bluffs, WY on Hwy 215 and I thought it might be you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Pine Bluffs, WY, but never went north from there. When that cell started encroaching from the south, we went back east to Kimball, NE.

When that cell started encroaching from the south, we went back east to Kimball, NE. Oh ok. We watched the big hailer east of Cheyenne from north of Pine Bluffs, then went west to Egbert to get some pea-size hail before heading back eats and getting lightning shots from near Sidney. Now we're headed west to Kimball again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettjrob Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Much better moisture in place across NE CO and SE WY this morning compared with yesterday. If we'd had these 56-58 F dew points then, I wonder if we wouldn't have had TOR reports from a couple of those late afternoon supercells, particularly in WY. Today looks like a more traditional upslope setup with initiation along the Front Range. From my limited experience chasing these, it's best to sit back about 50 mi. E of the foothills so the storms have time to show their cards before you race N or S toward one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no clouds in the sky at this time yesterday and the humidity was ~20%. Now, it is getting dark and we have a storm moving in from the west. RAP shows CAPE already >2000, which is near the maximum of yesterday's around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebreaker5221 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 That cell developing near Hidden Valley, just west of Denver, already beginning to show signs of rotation! Could be a sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 After 3" of rain and beaucoup de hail from a persistently backbuilding supercell SE of Denver last night, we could use a break... and some sleep... maybe this one will go north for a change. The cell was TOR warned for almost 2 1/2 hours continuously over the same area, though actual tornadoes were small and short-lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Cool. I suspect we will see you in Kimball today. (We are in 3 minivans). Oh ok. We're in a pick-up and 3 minivans with antennae, but I think I'm not supposed to disclose any more information than that. Good luck today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Anyway we just took a Kestrel reading, and we have 69/58 here on the south side of Kimball with a thick stratus deck still in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SluggerWx Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It looks like 3KM EHI and the SigTor parameter in SW texas are pretty aligned for something of relevance. What am I missing here for this region to not be included at least within a slight risk area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Whoever said that the June threats will transition into Canada all the way back in April, gets a big freaking cookie. This looks like an active weekend for Southern Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettjrob Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Whoever said that the June threats will transition into Canada all the way back in April, gets a big freaking cookie. This looks like an active weekend for Southern Canada. Wow, the NAM trended decisively toward the GFS solution of a more impressive, neutral-tilt solution Saturday. It shows some hellacious parameters/hodos setting up right near the border. Definitely potential for strong tornadoes along the warm front in extreme S MB with this solution.

SouthernNJ Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Some good hail-producers out in SW South Dakota, but it looks as though the best current chance for a possible tornado is near Wheatland WY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if convection south messes with it at all Impressive dive south underway with that storm... new cell just NE of CYS looks pretty beefy after only a few scans, too.

Ian Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 not too surprising.. AT 305 PM MDT...TRAINED WEATHER SPOTTERS REPORTED A TORNADO. THIS TORNADO WAS LOCATED ABOUT 5 MILES WEST OF WHEATLAND...MOVING SOUTHEAST AT 25 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettjrob Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Holy ^#$^ that couplet. Shades of Goshen Co. 2009. I was one of the suckers that started so far S in CO that day I couldn't catch up until just after rope-out. Looks like the same fate might await most chasers on SN, though there's still time for better activity to ramp up down south too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
