JoMo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 It looks like it's going to complete a circle. That's pretty crazy looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye05 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Still just sitting there. Bizarre. I'm really hoping this didn't hit anything, as there would probably be nothing left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just moved SW on the latest scan. Thank god this isn't a populated area, or there would be absolutely nothing left. This is some weird motion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluggerWx Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 If there's a hidden mystery around enormous tornadoes, we can certainly find it right now by archiving all the soundings/parameters currently available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettjrob Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Big ol' wedge, but was rain-wrapped (from my vantage to the S, at least) for a good portion. In fact, can no longer tell whether anything is on the ground the past 10-15 minutes. Typical nasty WF beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbird12 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Looks like the tornado is making a cyclonic loop. Earlier tornado in NE KS appeared to do something similar before it cycled. Imagine several tornadoes doing something like this around a populated area and you'll get an idea of what happened during the infamous Grand Island, NE event back in 1980.

wxtrackercody Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 You can still hear the roar of the tornado. Very violent, but weakening. http://content.wdtinc.com/popout/index.php?M=14613&C=20643&O=10605 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgeeWx Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 There has to be some sort of boundary that's keeping this thing maintained. SFC analysis looks like it might be right on the nose of the best THETA-E advection. Maybe a vertical Q-v gradient perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Looks to be ingesting a lot of crapvection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo762 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Wow. This storm has some redicilous inflow feeding into it. Just imagine what Wednesday/Thursday/Friday will look like, when we get much better upper-level support, albeit probably less instability. Still tons of shear, moisture, and good mid/upper-level winds. The last 2 days have already been pretty good, with extreme instability, and fairly good shear, but marginal upper-level support.

Stebo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 It is amazing to loop the radar both for SRV and BR, for SRV to watch the circulation rotate around itself and then for the BR to watch the storm just inhale another smaller cell like it was nothing.

David Reimer Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Wow. This storm has some redicilous inflow feeding into it. Just imagine what Wednesday/Thursday/Friday will look like, when we get much better upper-level support, albeit probably less instability. Still tons of shear, moisture, and good mid/upper-level winds. The last 2 days have already been pretty good, with extreme instability, and fairly good shear, but marginal upper-level support. Frankly, I would bet the next few days will underperform tornado-wise. We may have better shear, but crapvection and lower instability amounts will probably make it a mess.
