Storm near Flagstaff looks healthy, and has a strong meso again

Yep, this one dependant on mergers but threat is there.

 

[Ozonelayer]

This thing is having a giant surge of inflow (atleast appears so on velocity) wonder if it'll drop. Also goes up a few tilts, so its atleast persistant

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

That appears to be a potentially significant tornado imminent right over Kachina Village. Not good. Nasty situation possible if this goes the full way

 

[TornadoFan]

Yeesh.

 

[Ozonelayer]

Wouldnt be shocked if it dropped a strong+ tornado (if not OTG currently, it corresponds with a very light drop in CC.)

Velocity ramped up drastically, not good at all

 

[Ozonelayer]

Also, why the heck isnt this tornado warned? This is the best its looked all day and velocity is absurd for a Arizona morning in October

Edit: as soon as I posted, got warned

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

Whatever is happening on that next scan better not be down. That is one heck of a signature in the SW US.

 

[TornadoFan]

It's moving right towards the airport as well.

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

Very dangerous situation if this thing puts down. VROT if that signature is fully legit is 60 kts.

[Ozonelayer]

Oh.

 

[Kds86z]

Now tornado warned

 

[TornadoFan]

Might be down.

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

Dodging a huge bullet currently. That bullet might not be dodged for long though. If this doesn't drop, i will be shocked.

 

[Ozonelayer]

The velocity gets worse each scan bro what is happening


NROT is going bonkers too

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

Via traffic cam right south of the circulation.

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

E Flagstaff traffic cam currently. Circulation passed over this area and it only just updated.

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

Thinking surface stability just stopped what could've been a major tornado in S Flagstaff. Circulation weakening now. How that hasn't dropped is insane.

Yeah, surface based CAPE is barely 500 where the storm is. Surface stability probably just stopped an intense+ tornado
