Severe WX May 2019 Plains Severe Event

[xJownage]

Piedmont cell looking better on new scan.

That storm still looks really disorganized on GR2. Could just be because it's LP.

Bob Pack's stream was showing some really significant chaser convergence on the cells north of paducah. I hope this trend doesn't continue.

KFOR reported a couple of brief touchdowns with that storm north of Piedmont.

That storm still looks really disorganized on GR2. Could just be because it's LP.

The low level rotation isn't particularly strong, however the meso itself is very deep and strong. It definitely has taken some time in organizing.

 

[xJownage]

I'm seeing the deep meso, the storm itself just looks really disorganized for strong tornadoes.

It's almost eerie watching the lack of storm initiation in SW OK knowing the explosive dynamics present. It's like the movie Jaws, as the guys waited quietly in the boat for the giant fish to take the bait.

KFOR just showed a tornado on the ground

 

[NorthGaWeather]

For strong tornadoes, maybe. The storm is actually entering a corridor of better effective 0-1km SRH. Tornado now on the ground.

 

[TornadoFan]

Large tornado on KFOR.

 

[NorthGaWeather]

Large tornado, with several mesovorticies noticeable.

Was watching Mark Hill's stream and I still don't see the tornado or even a wall cloud for that matter. Can you link KFOR's stream?

Rotation picking up.

 

[SilentShadow87]

Oh boy. Crescent and Mulhall are in the path.

 

[xJownage]

Looks like a developing multi-vortex off a large wall cloud. Just shows how explosive this environment is right now, that even on a cell with such awkward radar structure is still so impressive close up. The structure on Hill's stream is incredible.

 

[warneagle]

Looks like the storms near Childress have completed their merger. Definitely keep an eye on that, as it’s moving into an even stronger environment.

 

[xJownage]

Is anybody else having trouble getting updated GR data?

 

[bwalk]

Is anybody else having trouble getting updated GR data?

I'm not showing any warnings on GRL.

 

[warneagle]

Large rotating lowering on KFOR. The inflow on that thing is pretty impressive.

 

[xJownage]

Yeah, I haven't had a radar update in over 10 minutes now.
