Severe WX April 19-22nd, 2023

[TH2002]

TDS just deepened, Cole took a terrible hit

 

[warneagle]

Whew, that is a massive TDS.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Meanwhile, I bet that storm northwest of Denison, IA is rather pretty. Kinda sorry I wasn't able to swing the time off to be in western Iowa this evening, since today/tomorrow looks like the last setup for a while.

 

[Equus]

Wow

 

[Muwx]

We might find out how well built homes in the town are…

 

[warneagle]

Yikes.

 

[Equus]

Cole is a very small target, but may have been a bulls eye at this point

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Gonna head toward the southern reaches of Goldsby and then Slaughterville. Might be TORE-worthy if it holds togehter or cycles up another one of those.

 

[TornadoFan]

Reed has a damaged brick home on his stream.

 

[TornadoFan]

Velocities just ramped up big time.

 

[warneagle]

That's a big boy.

 

[Muwx]

Velocities just ramped up big time.

I think it’s starting to weaken and potentially starting to occlude. Looks like another circulation is trying to the southwest.

 

[ColdFront]

Heading right for Goldsby, which also got hit by an absolute monster of an EF4(absolutely was a 5) back in May 2011

 

[CheeselandSkies]

I think the lesson here is "never doubt the HRRR when it predicts central Oklahoma disaster."

 

[Equus]

Hard left, probably beginning occluding, new meso forming to SE

 

[ColdFront]

I think it’s starting to weaken and potentially starting to occlude. Looks like another circulation is trying to the southwest.

Oh yeah it’s about to drop another

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Wow, occlusion might actually send it north of Goldsby, as the new one wraps up just east of Washington.

 

[Equus]

That is an extremely fast cycle, Washington and Slaughterville in big trouble

 

[ColdFront]

I think the lesson here is "never doubt the HRRR when it predicts central Oklahoma disaster."

I admit I was intrigued when Trey tweeted on that sounding, especially with the cap gone.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

That storm's forward flank is pretty well folded over in front of the meso, I bet you have to be right in the notch to see the tornado. Hope we don't have any more nasty chaser stories out of this. But it is central Oklahoma, at dusk, with a storm with tricky structure and motion so...
