Severe WX Historic April 27-May 1 2024 Midwest Storms

[Clancy]

There unfortunately appears to be a few homes north of Horse Creek where this tornado has been churning. Very much hoping the residents are safe and out of harm's way.

Incredibly powerful thunderstorm, as they've now put out a separate TOR for the secondary circulation near Loveland.

 

[Clancy]

TOR for new meso south of the monster.

 

[Clancy]

Big one has weakened significantly but the one to the south is really tightening up.

 

[TornadoFan]

Crazy thing is there's nothing out ahead of it to impede it's inflow.

 

[Clancy]

Appears to have an, albeit small, TDS now.

[Clancy]

Aside from existing within a ridonkulous little sweet spot of kinematics and instability, the squeezed hodographs are likely contributing to the first storm looping back on itself.

 

[cincywx]

The northern circulation disappeared just as fast as the southern one kicked into gear. Wild to be able to see this so close to the radar.

 

[andyhb]

That southern tornado is anticyclonic and it's likely strong. Absolutely nuts.

 

[TH2002]

Yeah I think there's a TDS with the anticyclonic tornado SE of Loveland

 

[Tanner]

New violent tornado is going to form near Grandfield Oklahoma

 

[Maxis_s]

I got a VROT of about 120kts on this scan. No, seriously.

 

[Clancy]

Another tornado likely in-progress basically over KFDR!

 

[cincywx]

And now there's a TOR for a circulation on the western flank of this one, moving over KFDR at this time

 

[TornadoFan]

Alright, who gave Oklahoma the white stuff?

 

[jiharris0220]

Night of the twisters 2.0 outside of the tornado risk area, ok then.

 

[Clancy]

TDS exploded on that anticyclonic tornado.

 

[TH2002]

This has been one of the most fascinating and unusual outbreaks in recent memory. Violent drillbit in Kansas, then a slow moving monster wedge and anticylonic tornado in Oklahoma?? Can't recall anything like this happening recently.

 

[cincywx]

TDS on reflectivity on the southern storm
