Quincy Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Confirmed tor recently on the storm west of Guymon, OK. Based on 01z observations, dew-points were in the 51-53F range, or so, with this tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOH Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Had some friends on it. They all bailed right before since the storm was entering a bad environment. Let's just say that they are not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Possible tornado near Elkhart KS. This seems to be a little far away from the radar to be able to tell if this is a TDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Marusak Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 the cluster containing individual cells near Elkhart and Sturgis is now merging with the line segment from Stonington and Keyes. looks like a short-term dynamic increase for tornadic risk in the non-merged area, but with time in the merged area more like a hail and wind event. and it definitely looks like hail attm near Richfield, given the cc-scattering signature emanating from Richfield.

Chinook Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 tornado warning again for Richfield KS-- if anything is there, it is inside the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Marusak Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 the storm is definitely occluded, and the circulation is nuts. but that hail core signature to the north of the storm is still quite evident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Marusak Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 merger complete, looks like it's totally linear now. but I still don't like that scattering on the cc in the hail area north of the previously tornadic cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Tomorrow looks interesting now as well along the DL, a bit east of where today was focused. I would probably start off near Silverton, TX tomorrow if chasing. Nice area of higher DP's against the DL there, with a tongue of higher theta-e air. Sounding from east of AMA at 0z tomorrow event off the 0z NAM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Have had several supercell structures through the afternoon, some of which have had rotation. Looks like VBV is one of the issues with today thus far. Probably a few more hours of potential, before things grow upscale and linear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Sig VBV issues on the 0z OUN and FWD soundings. Eh, there's actually not too much. The bigger issue is the weakness of the flow around 700 mb, which is a common problem once UL troughs becomes closed off like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I think the central 1/3rd of Texas will see a risk of severe weather tomorrow. There seems to be a bit of a problem regarding severe potential. Surface-CAPE, 0-6km shear and 0-3km SRH are kind of disjointed and don't seem to want to cooperate. There will be lower shear in the eastern 1/3rd of Texas. There won't be a lot of areas with 0-6km shear over 40kt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Was looking at the SPC soundings, which didn't have that extra mess above 700 mb. yeah the 00Z sounding on the SPC page don't show any VBV, at least for OUN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 A little off topic: Alex Lamers (@AlexJLamers) tweeted a sounding from Calcutta India- showing 7176 J/kg surface based CAPE with 38 kt of effective shear, and capping. He was highlighting Bangladesh tornado season. One of the highest measured CAPEs I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
