ZackH Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Zack, I hope you're chasing tomorrow (or at least working at the office), could be a pretty significant event. Sorry... somehow missed this! I was working a warning desk. I was mainly warning the QLCS later in the event. I got in right as Killdeer was getting smoked by huge hail in 75 mph winds. That storm created so much damage in Killdeer. Was a little surprised everything lined out so quickly and the tornado threat didn't materialize.

mayjawintastawm Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Just issued a severe thunderstorm warning for here, for 60 mph gusts and 1.25" hail. Starting to thunder a bit and my dog wants to climb into the bookcase. No wind or rain yet. I am sure it's because I watered my lawn extra this AM. We shall see....

Chinook Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 you could report that directly to NWS Boulder over the internet. You could put in "general public" if you are not a registered spotter. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/StormReport/SubmitReport.php?site=bou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get sufficient clearing and the NAM forecast dewpoints the environment/kinematics will be impressive. Would not be surprised if we end up with an enhanced.

Chinook Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The SPC 06z day-1 outlook has an Enhanced outlook for eastern North Dakota (tomorrow, 8/3). There should be an area of North Dakota where SRH will be at least 250 m2/s2, along with CAPE of 3000 J/kg + and 0-6 km shear values of 30-40kt. Quote A MID-LEVEL JET ACCOMPANYING THE UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO 40-45 KT WLY 0-6 KM SHEAR SUPPORTING SUPERCELLS AS THE INITIAL STORM MODE. PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND...BUT LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR A THREAT OF A FEW LOW-LEVEL MESOCYCLONES AND A COUPLE OF TORNADOES BEFORE ACTIVITY EVOLVES INTO LINE SEGMENTS/CLUSTERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Loading this web site is like driving into road construction. Up to this point, I believe there have been 4 tornadoes, some funnel clouds, some large hail and wind reports in northeast North Dakota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackH Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 11 hours ago, andyhb said: Well that verified nicely. Was quite a fun day... did the forecast in the morning and went chasing in the evening. Missed the biggie tornado as it was just too far, but did catch the tornado southwest of Wawrick, ND from a distance... also watched it rope out. Just got crappy cell phone pics as it was so far and I just had my wide angle lens. Quincy was quite a bit closer from his pics I saw on Twitter. Still though, the rest of the day provided some of the most photogenic storms/landscapes I've seen in quite a while. Also, watching the updrafts from new cells going up and breaking the cap yesterday was something to behold. I'm not sure if I've ever seen development that rapidly visually.

Jonbo Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 This evening was much more exciting than I expected. Rope tornado/waterspout on Lake Manawa just a few miles away from where I live currently (Council Bluffs) so I bolted out and got to watch what I'm considering my first in-person tornado. People who live near the lake also mention fish being found in their yards, unsurprisingly. Pics from the driveway before I left and recorded the rest on video. Few videos also from Facebook https://www.facebook.com/wowt6news/videos/10154351752682086/ https://www.facebook.com/kenny.neelon/videos/10154509112459430/ https://www.facebook.com/leopoldo.willox/videos/10210163062983199/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't that close either. The road network was sloppy (combination of iffy roads and gaps between turns) I was directly under the initial funnel cloud, but had to play catchup once the tornado began. I also have a lack of higher-resolution photos, as I mainly used my iPhone. Here are a few and some video: Ranks among some of the best structure I've seen this year too...

Quincy Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 More fun in the Dakotas last night, this time in northwestern South Dakota. A significant hail-producing supercell (reportedly up to 4 inches in diameter) crossed with northwestern South Dakota. Although the storm was clearly rotating and had a relatively low base, structure and mammatus went on to be the main show. Additional storms popped up and the one that became the most photogenic, next, was a cell on the southern flank of the activity: Here is roughly an hour's worth of video footage condensed into less than four minutes at 64x actual speed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Those are some great pictures, Quincy! In the severe weather game I am playing on a different forum, I picked Buffalo SD, and I got some points for hail. You took pictures of the exact cell that gave me points. I continued to watch the radar after the storms passed by my zone. There must have been some horrendous 2 to 3" per hour rain rates, along with some areas of hail and wind, as the storm complex continued eastward. It looked more like a bow echo later on. There was a tornado warning with a discrete supercell west of Aberdeen, but I don't believe that resulted in a tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
