weatherwiz Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Really bad damage near Shawnee Lake. Mobile home park just hammered. Looking like this will be a long tracked deadly tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey2002 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Why does it seem twc is always where the action is? Or it just when I pay attention to it? Jim Cantore is always in the right spot... amazing live TV right as the tornado started getting its act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Boris FTW I'm hoping we get something in June!! Two of our forecasters are out there this week as well. Looks like everybody picked a pretty good week to go... --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 We got one!!! Witnessed one tornado just northwest of South Haven, Kansas. And was very near to another one that was southwest of Wellington. We couldn't see it (back in the rain) but we could definitely hear it. We saw at least four wall clouds today all across southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. In Ponca City for the night. Working on forecast for tomorrow.

Chrisrotary12 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 So after reviewing our photos the following is probably our best picture we got before it got over taken by the rain. Can clearly see the condensation funnel all the way to the ground. I think we are headed to Stillwater today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Should be very bad once again today, especially in eastern/southeastern OK. Another extremely unstable environment in place with tremendous shear. Also, LCL heights are as low as 500 meters...that's nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Should be very bad once again today, especially in eastern/southeastern OK. Another extremely unstable environment in place with tremendous shear. Also, LCL heights are as low as 500 meters...that's nuts. I was taking a look at eastern OK. In many ways it looks even more favorable than yesterday. The LCL heights are considerably lower and the wind shear and helicity values are a bit more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LCL heights are considerably lower and the wind shear and helicity values are a bit more impressive. 0-2km shear should approach 20-25 knots which is pretty favorable for sustaining supercells as well.

eyewall Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Chrisrotary12 If you can it might be better to shrink the pic sizes (saving them as separate files from the originals) before posting them here (makes for easier threat viewing). Also I noticed a lot of them are slightly blurred. You might want to look at your focus settings. I suppose it could also be longer exposure times without a tripod. Anyway looks like you are doing great out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
