Yes, I would agree, shear is increasing with the storm. 3 minutes ago, Wmsptwx said: Storm looked far messier to me on latest radar, but only had quick glance do could be wrong. Yeah I am not seeing the circulation being much of anything right now. I am still seeing a ton of debris with the storm though lofted ahead of it.

andyhb Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Today another great example of how shear trumps instability. Relatively modest instability for the time of year, but with more southerly surface winds than projected, large low level hodographs and favorable storm relative wind profiles, it yields a regional tornado outbreak especially for Iowa. Favorable storm mode lasting for longer than expected as well, largely because of the aforementioned wind profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye05 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 From what I am hearing via scanners and twitter, the situation in Prairieburg is not good right now. Hearing of multiple structure collapses and people missing, with some parts of the damage path not accessible yet. Edit: Prairieburg, not Prairieville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Ugh...would have gone to Iowa if not for work tomorrow, but hey it's Iowa on a conditional late June setup...not worth sacrificing a night's sleep, right? Once again most significant tornado in WI goes north. I was midway between Platteville and Livingston (Grant Co.) looking north into the tornado warned cell, but couldn't see anything but grunge and rain. It was already well embedded in the line which surged into the Janesville area. I skirted the back side of it on the way home on US 151. Lots of crazy lightning around, CGs and anvil crawlers, but wasn't able to capture any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVN has 4 forecasters working in the DMX office using their workstations. All the comm lines including those for weather radio and phone lines were offline at least through this afternoon. Their forecasters are still the ones issuing warnings, but they're sitting at a different office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
