Jayhawkers Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Tornadic supercell headed toward KC metro looks ominous. Also has tennis ball sized hail, and is going 50mph. Nighttime tornado/hail threat over a major city yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonOH Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 That storm may have had a TDS about 5 minutes ago. The CC was showing blue (don't remember the exact amt.) in the same location as the couplet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawkers Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It's still pretty far from the KC area. yes, but given the motion, speed, and strength it's something to pay attention too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOH Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 If that has a tornado, it will be totally rain wrapped, that storm is an HP mess. Edit: relatively strong couplet on latest scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 That storm may have had a TDS about 5 minutes ago. The CC was showing blue (don't remember the exact amt.) in the same location as the couplet. I wouldn't doubt it. It had a solid velocity couplet for quite some time, and a bounded weak echo region near Pawnee City and Du Bois. It is still dangerous, with the strongest part of the storm near Bern KS.

gabel23 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Some pics from tonight around Shelby. Seen some major street flooding and crazy rotation just north of town.

Thunder Road Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Watching these guys "Twisted Vortex Chasers" on TVN and they were on the CB radio looking at the hail shaft, screaming rain wrapped tornado. I really hope this isn't the confirmed spotter report because it most certainly wasn't a tornado. I watched them earlier get excited to be out of heavy rain and then they were wondering why hail was now falling. Pretty comical and a guide on how not to chase imo. Were they in a gray armored SUV? We saw one of those with a license plate VORTMAX. Typically chase douches wanting to do 80 mph on a two-lane road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'll post a more full report to Stormtrack tomorrow, but the tl;dr version is: waste of 810 miles (and a cracked windshield too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Were they in a gray armored SUV? We saw one of those with a license plate VORTMAX. Typically chase douches wanting to do 80 mph on a two-lane road. Sounds about right. I never saw the vehicle but they were calling it the "Armada" which is a type of SUV that Nissan makes. They also repeatedly blasted pass people, making note that those people needed to get out of the way cause they were "storm chasing". I am sorry if these guys post here but those type of antics were just uncalled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 that radar signature near Brainard, NE. is that pure straightline gusts from hell or tornadic? I thought originally tornadic, but the next frame or two it's looking like the gust front you don't want to see. GTG was 200kts a frame or two ago (OAX radar). oax_2354z.png That's what we saw in the field. A pretty dust tube would form for about 30 seconds. Then the whole RFD would come around and turn it into a dusty straight line wind monster. We saw the same thing on two cycles.End of chase was cool near Nebraska City as we took I-29 back toward KC. Incredible inflow was screaming up the Interstate. LNK cell was fortunately not rooted, or it would have been ugly, but it was the coldest strong inflow we've seen. Cool side made for awesome scary looking clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTG was 200kts a frame or two ago (OAX radar). oax_2354z.png Video from that timeframe on highway 15 looking west - so maybe this is about 5 to 10 minutes earlier. Winds were blowing from east a good 20, 30 gusts higher to 35... I only took 1 minute to look back at it, then kept going south to get ahead. Like also reported, it was like something would try and wrap up then gust out... but definite rotation on the end there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCS_hunter Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Is there any confirmation of a tornado on the tornado warned storm that went through central Nebraska at about 6:30 pm last night? Many reports of a "rain-wrapped tornado" but after this year I have a hard time believing this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msalgado Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm going to give it a go this weekend assuming that things look good as of tomorrow night for Friday. It looks like there will be a good amount of shear in KS/Northern Oklahoma so I'm optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
