CAPE Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 ^ A big coastal storm makes some sense I guess, as the blocking over Greenland is breaking down at that time. Archambault! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Just cracked open a DFH BBA WWS, after being outside doing yard work on this very pleasant day. Those who think it was "too cold/too windy" will be begging for a day like this 6 weeks from now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueberryfaygo Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 It was awfully weird to see people indoors at the Kentucky Derby with no masks... I keep forgetting that there are places that are a little different than our area in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the mowing Thursday but mulched, weeded, fixed a gutter, blew all those spinners off sidewalks and porches. Today will be cleaning cars and gutters for any clogs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just like when I leave the dog out immediately after mowing, and she absolutely MUST engage in #2 on my freshly-shorn lawn. Can't the results of my hard work stay pristine for at least a few hours?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t laugh lol. 1. how was that made 2. it almost looks like it’s pulling moisture off of trees as it approaches. Like mist being sucked in. What is that?

The guy who took it said he lost the drone to the inflow as he had to reposition. Amazing footage!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely some of the best I've seen. The tornado would have been virtually impossible to see without it. As for the second question, I want to say that what we're seeing is really strong inflow, but after watching it a few times I think it's the larger circulation of the tornado. I'm not as well versed as others, but it looks like the Bear's Cage to me: basically the precipitation wrapping around the updraft, with the actual tornado (condensation funnel) in the center.

That makes sense but watch it again. As the winds get close to the trees it’s like you see a big blob of moisture leaving the trees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Looks to me like there is abundant low level moisture- probably rained preceding the tornado. You can see indications of moisture condensing/rising in places above the trees well ahead of the actual funnel. Once the vortex gets closer, the suction induces stronger rising motions on the periphery, and the air quickly cools/further condenses as it is near saturation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
