jojo762 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hard to tell given its proximity to the radar. But the supercell just south of KUEX appears to be ramping up as well. EDIT: Also looks some development is taking place further south into Clark Co. Kansas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 All those supercells along the WF in Nebraska are impressive. Each has at least some rotation and each appear to be producing monster hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Initiation as far south as Lipscomb County, TX with agitated cu from south of DDC into the far eastern portion of the Texas panhandle. Still uncertain if cells this far south will have much longevity, but if they do, the environment will rapidly improve by 23-00z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Mesoscale Discussion 0307 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0500 PM CDT Tue May 01 2018 Areas affected...Central and Eastern Kansas...Southeast Nebraska...Southwest Iowa Concerning...Tornado Watch 59... Valid 012200Z - 020000Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 59 continues. SUMMARY...The tornado threat across southeastern Nebraska and north-central Kansas is expected to increase over the next couple of hours. Large hail and wind damage will be likely with the stronger storms as the activity move eastward across tornado watch 59 through early evening. DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a cold front moving southeastward across south-central Nebraska and northwest Kansas. A dryline extends southward from the front across west-central Kansas. A narrow corridor of maximized low-level moisture is present ahead of the dryline from north-central Oklahoma into north-central Kansas where surface dewpoints are generally in the lower to mid 60s F. This combined with surface heating has resulted in moderate instability with the RAP showing MLCAPE of 2000 to 3000 J/kg. Radar imagery shows a line of semi-discrete storms ongoing along the western edge of moderate instability from near Hastings, NE to just east of Dodge City, KS. The cells within the line will continue to move eastward into stronger instability and should gradually intensify. Due to the instability, steep mid-level lapse rates of 8.5 to 9.0 C/km and strong deep-layer shear evident on the Hastings WSR-88D VWP, hailstones of greater than 2 inches in diameter will be possible with the stronger supercells. In addition, a 40 to 50 kt low-level jet is forecast to rapidly strengthen across central and eastern Kansas into southeast Nebraska early this evening. For this reason, low-level shear will become increasingly favorable for tornadoes. 0-3 km storm-relative helicities are forecast to increase into the 400 to 500 m2/s2 range suggesting that a strong tornado or two will be possible as well. ..Broyles/Edwards.. 05/01/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 that's the best hook shaped storm of the day so far. But the SRV 1.5 degrees hardly shows the velocities of the SRV 0.5 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
