Stebo Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Saw a big funnel on Canadian cell like 80% to ground may have touched but not sure., https://twitter.com/islivingston/status/603658711987392512 I think the standard is when it is down three quarters of the way, you have to assume there is a circulation at the surface and it is a tornado. Nice catch there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Another monstrous supercell west of Fort Stockton with a TBSS and strong rotation, that area has been on fire this year. Also heard of injuries with the tornado near Canadian earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Got 3 or 4 today depending on that first one. Probably only went 20 miles during the chase. Leaving to the north couldn't help but being bummed it didn't happen a bit north.. Much better terrain. Some folks got better views it seems.

brettjrob Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Agreed on all counts Ian. Panhandle Magic didn't pick the best spot for its big return... quite the opposite. The curse of the Canadian River Valley... amazing how much stuff tends to wind up there. Halfway to Perryton and we would've been golden. All that said... no complaints lol. Well besides missing the first few minutes by driving around frantically for a "good" vantage before conceding that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The curse of the Canadian River Valley... amazing how much stuff tends to wind up there. Halfway to Perryton and we would've been golden. All that said... no complaints lol. Well besides missing the first few minutes by driving around frantically for a "good" vantage before conceding that. We were talking about the area on the way and concluded it's better to see a tornado in a bad area than not see a tornado. When it got tor warned the second time we were in a good spot but it started pouring and since we're still kind of n00bs out here we were not sure we should just chill on the hook so we started driving to a new spot.. then saw the tornado as we went down into the valley. Was initially kind of upset but we actually ended up with a fairly good view considering... so could be worse. Here's one when it was around its largest size.. not the best of the bunch but size matters. 3 tor days in the last 4.. no complaints. Trip went from kinda frustrating to big pretty quick. Oddly I was pretty happy with the pattern - and moisture -- before coming out but other folks pessimism got to me a bit. Maybe June will bring a cutoff or something of some sort.. after we leave.. based on nino climo ... panhandle might not be done just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo762 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Another ENH risk today for large/very large hail, for the Texas big country. Also a fairly large 5% TOR prob from west-central TX northward toward NW KS. Looks like a similar day to yesterday. Just a tad further south. Nearly the exact same dynamics as far as wind and thermodynamic profiles go, with some small differences. Good turning with height, with marginal speed shear, and strong/extreme instability across a wide area. Looks like VBV was a problem in at least KS (didn't look further south really.)

jm1220 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 This has to be one of the longest squall lines I've ever seen. Superimposed in the Northeast, this would run from roughly Portland, ME to DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Slammed through DFW, this is now bearing down on I-35 down past San Antonio. The line is bowing out, and gusts over 60 mph are being observed in the Hill Country. Should be here in Austin within an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
