David Reimer Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 2200Z Torrington Municipal Airport Automated Weather Observation Wind: Missing Visibility: Missing (What I get when I call into the ASOS) Looks like a very weak, but probable TDS off CYS at 2201Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSWx Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Between radars now, hard to get a good look at it, but man that thing looked nasty. Any reports on whether or not Torrington was directly impacted? It looks like it was trending a bit east of Torrington from what I could see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornadotony Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Torrington gusted to 54 kt from 110° at 2157 UTC. I'm guessing the tornado passed JUST west of the ASOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of structures/homes east of town along 26 and also the Torrington Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 There are a number of structures/homes east of town along 26 and also the Torrington Airport. Yep unfortunately it wasn't a mile further east, now its got tons of open land in front of it, but based on the track it had to have impacted homes and businesses and most likely the airport....also on google earth it looks like the schools were right in that area as well hopefully the kids where gone for the day.....

Quincy Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 A long-shot, conditional threat tonight is across central to north-central Kansas. Forcing for ascent is rather weak, but there's no shortage of shear, higher dew-points, modestly backed winds, instability, etc. A couple of boundaries can be noted on radar and the LLJ should begin to crank. It might just be a little bit too late/out of sync to produce anything. I'll be curious to see what the 00z sounding from DDC looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Couple of warned cells in MO look good, first couplet may miss Arrow Rock MO just to the north, but the new one forming on the second storm might be more in line with the small town...

KSWx Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hoping it's not on the ground when it reaches Robinson, as it is an extremely slow mover at only 13 knots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Regarding tomorrow: here is a snippet from the mid-day SPC outlook (Enhanced) for tomorrow. It sounds like they could upgrade to moderate, but they have too much uncertainty regarding coverage of severe thunderstorms. WITH A SIZABLE UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR...THE LARGE-SCALE PATTERN WOULD SEEM TO FAVOR MORE SUBSTANTIAL POTENTIAL FOR A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK THAN IS CURRENTLY INDICATED IN THE OUTLOOK GRAPHICS. AS IT IS...CONVECTION DOES SEEM LIKELY TO INITIATE ALONG THE DRYLINE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
