Nebraska is going haywire with landspouts and the Stanberry, MO cell is gonna casually do this

hard to get a great look (shoutout radar holes) but i think this one is on the ground or was at one point.

Generally in the past when I've seen a meso signature like this at about 8,500' (the best that can be done with any of the NEXRAD sites around the storm), it's producing. Haven't heard of any reports, though.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Multiple reports of baseball-sized hail with the storms in NW MO. Still no confirmed tornadoes.

Multiple reports of baseball-sized hail with the storms in NW MO. Still no confirmed tornadoes.

The cell immediately trailing it just went SVR warned. I have to wonder if it's cutting off the main TOR warned cell's inflow or something like that.

Kind of meager win

The cell immediately trailing it just went SVR warned. I have to wonder if it's cutting off the main TOR warned cell's inflow or something like that.

I think the limiting factor is the wind shear. Cells haven't really developed well-pronounced ZDR arcs and the wind profiles aren't curving enough yet IMO.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Mid-level velocities seem to be intensifying with the western cell.

Mid-level velocities seem to be intensifying with the western cell.

TOR dropped with the eastern cell, I suspect that one is going to become dominant

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Strong rotation over Early, TX.

Already getting dark clouds, thunder, and lightning here around DFW

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Back in MO, seems like EAX randomly issued a new tornado warning which is now nowhere near including the inflow/RFB region of the storm.

Large tornado in progress with the Missouri supercell.

Reeds getting hit by it!!

I bet whatever is on the ground in there is pretty strong.

Power flashes in Linneus, MO.

Power flashes in Linneus, MO.

Looks like an amazing sculpted meso/RFD cut there, too bad it waited until after dark...and that the radar coverage is abysmal.
