andyhb Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 That supercell across the border west of Del Rio is looking pretty impressive, the most recent MCD had mention of this as ESE surface flow transports upper 60s or even low 70s dewpoints into that region.

Everyone else trying to figure out where it crosses into the USEnvironment pretty good in SE NM now but cap not giving just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm gonna laugh if it fizzles before it crosses.Right now it's diving so hard it might not even cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm assuming it crosses the border somewhere in the Eagle Pass area...in about 10 years. Edit: Actually based on current storm motion, probably somewhere a bit north toward Quemado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewxmann Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 If there's one thing about these slow-crawling Mexican monsters they usually crap out right before they would cross the border. Occasionally one makes it across but immediately falls apart after thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I don't see much reason it shouldn't continue for a while longer though, with minimal capping and strong instability feeding it from the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Late initiation but another stunner with structure tho maybe the highest bases we've seen. Lost track of how many supercells this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srain Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Late initiation but another stunner with structure tho maybe the highest bases we've seen. Lost track of how many supercells this trip. Although the tubes were rare, a successful trip over all. Thanks for the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 This storm has shown very good low-level rotation between Beasley and Rosenberg TX. Would not be surprised if something touched down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1900hurricane Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Looks like the squall line behind it is catching up to the tornado warned storm and messing with the rotation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Rather potent couplet west of Sterling City, I'm assuming Ian and co. dropped south for that one. Edit: confirmed tornado with it per latest warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettjrob Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Damaging tornado in ND Assuming this is not a fake, we have our first photogenic Plains tornado of 2014 on May 26.

brettjrob Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Well I'd say that isn't fake. Can never be too sure these days that someone isn't posting a shot from an old event for attention (it's happened numerous times), but I'm pretty sure you're right. Seeing more shots from locals now.

andyhb Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 That's a beauty of a tornado I'm seeing on the NDwx twitter feed, hopefully everyone at that oil camp is alright. That cell still has great rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 We caught a tornado-y thing today: No visible condensation funnel, but the circulation was right under the middle of the mesocyclone, so I'm going to strongly assume it was a tornado. We geeked out a lot more than we should have. Ten days of chasing with no tornadoes will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 12z model runs continue to paint quite an impressive picture for tomorrow in E MT and perhaps into S SK as the lead edge of stronger mid level flow begins to nose into the region ahead of the Northern Rockies ULL. A tongue of upper 50s/lower 60s dewpoints looks to advect into the area encouraged by strong backing of the low level flow (which will also push low level shear into impressive ranges with large, clockwise curved hodographs) and, in conjunction with steep mid level lapse rates, should lead to MLCAPE of 2000+ J/kg developing south of the WF. Capping still appears to be a bit of a concern with the warm 700 mb temperatures in place. The latitudinal extent of those will be crucial in determining storm coverage tomorrow. Assuming LCL heights aren't too limiting, there could be a few tornadic supercells given the environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
