Correct me if I'm wrong though.. No I don't think so. Seems like some more elevated showery stuff. I think CI will be NW or N of HLC in the next 1-2hrs.

KSWx Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 SigTor parameters for north-central Kansas this afternoon are looking pretty damn impressive at the moment. Edit: just noticed I'm late to the party, I should get in the habit of reading recent discussion before I post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSWx Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 19z HRRR has a discrete supercell tracking straight through the prime sigtor area from 21z-23z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 The HRRR continues to show an isolated supercell but it's 2130z now and nothing yet. Hoping it's just delayed. Sitting near Phillipsburg, KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it's just delayed. Sitting near Phillipsburg, KS CU field across KS looks pretty meh on Vis Sat. How's it look from your vantage point?Edit: the environment continues to become increasingly volatile... SCP up to 44, STP up to 11, 0-3KM EHI of 14, 0-1KM EHI of 5, 0-3KM VGP of 0.5... ESRH of 600m2/s2... SB/MUCAPE of 3000-4000J/KG. Incredible. IF initiation occurs, it looks like LCL's could initially be a problem depending on how far south it occurs... But much less of a problem later on as we are near peak heating attm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 No more models at this point. We've seen how the HRRR has performed lately anyway. Cu field here in north-central Kansas is agitated, but not towering very high yet. Cap still hanging on, but it should be breached soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think things are about to pop, starting to see some echos forming on radar near Phillipsburg and back to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Storms in KS along the boundaries are really struggling with that cap... Two storms tho, one near Sublette, and the other near Dighton are becoming increasingly interesting... Both are small at this point, but are developing supercell characteristics. As well as that supercell in SW NE that is SVR warned. Only about an hour and half or so of daylight left here, probably about 2-3 hours though in W KS.
