2013 Tornado Season

Iancar29

Kicking off the thread nice an early with an active mod risk across Arkansas .


Some tornado warnings already issued but no reports of anything touching down just yet.

Things should get going in the next few hours as conditions become more favourable for tornadoes.

Friends seem to have been spared much damage in Woodstock GA, a tornado touched down not too far away though!

Harps

He's well to the west of all the action, some big thunderstorms headed for Atlanta now

There may not be a tornado involved but severe storms are approaching Orlando FL with live coverage of the final round of the Arnold Palmer golf tournament on TV here, see if you have it there as the storms are now about 90 min away due west heading east. Good golf tournament too.

(edit ... the course was cleared of spectators and players shortly after I posted this, then a violent storm hit around 1830 UT, and weather reports around the region feature wind gusts to 65 mph and tornado reports to the north of the golf course, with a second cell poised to move through soon ... coverage has been suspended due to a power failure on the site, you may see some of this on the sports news later ... play may resume around 2100h UT for whatever remains of daylight).

A bit of action tonight! , already a tornado in Nebraska which was only in a SEE TEXT region!


MesoMotion is onto a good severe thunderstorm moving east just north of Oklahoma City atm .

Iancar29

Me and the lads the went to the states have our own virtual chase group where we follow the models and do as it says " virtually chase" . We currently have put in our sleep over positions for 2moro's potential whilst also having tuesday ( main risk day ) in our mind for location.

So heres my spot for tonight! ... WHERES YOURS?


For me my rest spot for the night would be Woodword , OK .
Decent enough road network to relocate come morning, on the the edge of some decent instability and right in the middle for cape red zone. CAP looks fairly weak compared to further east . Further into Kansas does look tempting for an easier storm to fire but my feeling for a potential nado/ nados lies in OK with the more favourable energy helicity indices .

Remember hearing it come up on the radio , we were only about 40/50 miles away when this tornado touched down. Was horrible seeing / hearing all the footage come in.

weisses

Yeah you picked a good year for that trip

Iancar29

Aiming for Dodge City , KS for lunch with a preliminary chase target of around Garden City KS

weisses

Hays Kansas for lunch with the I70 as the main route to travel

Don't you think garden city is to far to the south Ian ?

Iancar29

Yeah , been risking it as the cap is stronger down south but if it gets busted there could be some strong nados!

Interesting to see many risking it even more and being even more towards the OK boarder . ( TVN i Map)

weisses

Interesting day again ... Oklahoma seems the hotspot today

Bsal

On a side note Denver was 22C yesterday, today -9 and snow what a change a day makes.
