Wall cloud on the Black Hawk storm is lowering. It's probably about to drop again.

This is getting intense fast…

Dry line in Oklahoma is going to struggle to convect anything of significance due to poor thermal caused by high clouds it appears.

The southeast Minnesota supercell complex has begun to deviate into semi-discrete pendants over the past several scans, the northern most of which (near Elgin, MN) is now the strongest couplet of the few in this complex on velocity.

 

[kcyalater]

the HPSC south of galena SC is absolutely terrifying. monster potential with this one.

This seems to be happening all across the midwest.

A tornado has been reported on that one.

There's a large TDS just south of Plainview, Minnesota.

English? Lol

A tornado has been reported on that one.

The interesting thing is you have a crashing cold front, with a large gradient across it, but cells along the line are arguably more discrete than their OWS counterparts at the moment.

 

[VultureDirge89]

And we now have a likely strong, rain-wrapped tornado with a solid TDS on the ground.

Is the cap still there? It is very odd to see this, but in Trey’s video the cap was weaker than expected in the northern mode… really odd.

 

[TornadoFan]

We're now up to 16 tornado warnings!

 

[eep]

16 tornado warnings, yikes!

 

[kcyalater]

absolute behemoth outbreak currently ongoing. catastrophic day loading.

Please try to clarify which cells you're taking about when letting us know there a tornado down or similar? There's a lot of them right now. Thank you.
