Severe WX May 2019 Plains Severe Event

[Tennie]

Verne Carlson is reporting that his car was disabled in an auto accident just south of Mangum, OK.

That storm near Blair blew up pretty quickly. We’re not out of the woods yet.

Of course at this point it might get ingested by the storm to its north.

 

[Equus]

It's gonna get swallowed into the Mangum storm, but at least it's SOMETHING. Afraid we get some after dark stuff if there's enough to overcome the poor lapse rates.

 

[TornadoFan]

Mangum storm ramping up again I think.

 

[xJownage]

That midland tornado did dissipate, but there was a significant debris signature on it at the time the couplet was there, so obviously something got hit.

Praying all ok !!!!!!

 

[SilentShadow87]

Praying all ok !!!!!!

This is exactly what I was afraid of...

 

[Equus]

When you got 300 chasers converging on literally the only storm worth chasing in the event, it's almost inevitable

 

[Tennie]

The cell that's currently merging with the Granite cell itself has a substantial couplet (currently located near the southern side of Lake Altus).

 

[warneagle]

This is exactly what I was afraid of...

Honestly I was afraid of worse, given the fast storm motions and number of people converging on a relatively limited road network.

 

[Equus]

Could be a merger that leads to a quick significant tornado. But if the storm doesn't hook right it's going to cross the boundary into cool stable air...

 

[TornadoFan]

Small cells going up south of Carnegie, but whether they'll amount to anything, I don't know.

 

[bwalk]

Taking in the big radar picture, from Midland, Tx, arching all the way up to Pawnee, Ok, it's tempting to conclude that overall storm mode is currently evolving from discreet/semi-discreet to linear. This was predicted by the cams all along, the question was when. There could still be semi-discreet cells that go TOR but I believe we are in the early stages of the changeover.

 

[Equus]

I mean they're at 39kft, that's the best we've gotten in a few hours in the warm sector... we'll see

 

[xJownage]

Those small cells are already over 35kft tops. This is actually kind of eerie. Thankfully they're pretty close together.

 

[Equus]

Showers rapidly growing in that area but they're super close together, which makes me think they're gonna cluster. Complex stuff

 

[warneagle]

Confirmed tornado west of Spur, TX. Looks like round 2 is getting started.

 

[vanni9283]

Looks like there's some damage in Mangum.

 

[vanni9283]

Any storm chaser live feeds by chance?

 

[Equus]

Dryline is fairly discrete so far which is surprising given shear vectors. Spur storm has big potential short term.
