audioguy3107 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The storm SE of Wichita Falls means business right now, just insane rotation on that cell. Haven't been posting, been glued to the TV, CNN is all over it as well as the Weather Channel. The reporter from News 9 on the computer feed just said they were there after May 3, 1999 and this is way worse also said that the damage seems to be a little more widespread than 1999 which seems hard to believe. One way or another, just horrific video, looks like a war zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0732 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0534 PM CDT MON MAY 20 2013 AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE TX/OK RED RIVER VALLEY CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 191...192... VALID 202234Z - 202330Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 191...192...CONTINUES. SUMMARY...THE ENVIRONMENT FOR LONG-LIVED SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF A STRONG TORNADO OR TWO APPEAR TO BE MAXIMIZING NEAR THE RED RIVER OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS. DISCUSSION...22Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS PRESSURE FALLS MAXIMIZING OVER N-CNTRL TX TO THE E OF THE DRYLINE AND TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS ARE BEGINNING TO LOWER IN THE 10-15 DEG RANGE...SIGNIFYING HIGHER BOUNDARY LAYER RH AND LOWER LCLS. ADDITIONALLY...SURFACE WINDS ARE BEGINNING TO BACK SLIGHTLY FROM THE S TO SSE. ALTHOUGH THE 18Z FWD RAOB SHOWED AN INVERSION LAYER AROUND H85...THE INFLUENCE OF THIS FEATURE WILL PROBABLY BE LESSENED THROUGH FORCED STORM-SCALE ASCENT. BECAUSE OF THE VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE AND THE FORECAST INCREASE IN H85 FLOW /INCREASING LOW LEVEL SHEAR/...THE TORNADO THREAT APPEARS TO BE INCREASING. IF THE KFWS VWP OBSERVATIONS SHOW A SIMILAR INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL SHEAR OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO AS THE VARIOUS RAP FORECAST SOUNDINGS...A STRONG TORNADO OR TWO IS POSSIBLE IN ADDITION TO LARGE HAIL AND DMGG WINDS. ..SMITH.. 05/20/2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
