Plains tornado threat Mon 5/27-Fri 5/31

Will be interesting to see what happens when the Smith Co. tor warned storm is impacted by the northward moving 2 cells to its south.  I think I read on this board somewhere that one met thought a similar impact from another storm gave the Moore storm enough curvature to drop the tornado and another storm impacting it at the end caused the RFD to help the meso occlude.

 

Gotta say, the timing of that couplet/tornado was suspiciously timed with that cell to the south merging with the tornadic cell (even if it was on the front of the cell). The paper written after the Pierce City tornado noted that cell merges lead to an uptick in rotation before the merge happens followed by a weakening of the rotation after the merge happens.

...CENTRAL PLAINS/MO VALLEY/MIDWEST...

THE MOST CONCENTRATED/INTENSE SEVERE RISK IS EXPECTED ESPECIALLY

THIS EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN KS/SOUTHEAST NEB INTO

WESTERN/NORTHERN MO AND SOUTHERN IA. A VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT

EXISTS WITHIN THE CORRIDOR IN VICINITY OF AN EFFECTIVE WEST-EAST

FRONTAL ZONE. SUPERCELLS /EMBEDDED IN SOME CASES/ CAPABLE OF

TORNADOES /INCLUDING A STRONG TORNADO RISK/ WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE

ESPECIALLY THROUGH MID-EVENING...WITH UPSCALE GROWTH AND CONTINUED

GENERAL EAST OR PERHAPS EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD PROPAGATION/GRADUAL

ACCELERATION THROUGH LATE EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT. AS

SUCH...DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE AN INCREASING CONCERN ASIDE FROM

CONTINUED BOUTS OF LARGE HAIL.

"Turret door blew open, camera blown into TIV. Huge mess inside TIV. She didn't move at all though! Deployment a huge success."

 

Having a door blow open inside of a big tornado sounds more like a near disaster than huge success, but as far as actually intercepting a tornado it was obviously a success.

Keep doubting things, it seems everytime you doubt something, it always seems to go crazy, lol.

The Rozel tornado ramped up in a similar fashion during cell interaction. We saw two brief tor with no condensation funnels prior to that. We couldn't see anything durin the ramp up. Big mess.

Same exact thing with my team as well.

Always seems like data is awful when there is something to be worried about. Last scan we got showed the couplet go nuts. Parked on a road nearby and waited but once it started to hail and pour we had no real option but to bail. Got some more good structure shots etc at least. :P

Ian and co. should be in position for those cells initiating in KS near Russell.

We bailed from there early. ;) We were on the tail storm almost right after it formed... Watched it go up from maybe 30 mi away. It was pretty cool sans not seeing a ton in the way of tor activity.
