Severe Weather Threat 4/28-4/30

[pr0t0genluvswEeather]

My dad slept through the warning that impacted his area and me calling 42 times during the 30 minutes of the warning. Sigh. He's fine, storm seemed to go south of him, but gosh I am worn out now. But now I can watch the rest of the outbreak without quite so much anxiety.

he probably ain't gon' answer if he really old.

Significant tornado likely about to occur near Chapman Kansas. Those cells have rooted to the surface and have strong upper-level rotation.

Absolute chonker of a unit those supercells are.

Concerned for Manhattan KS in the next hour, cell seems to be gaining rotation.

This is the kind of 'oh no, people on the internet have different opinions' posting I was alluding to earlier.

Btw, I wasn’t saying anything about it being the B word. I hope it didn’t come across like that.

That supercell is one chonky storm!

Looks like Ryan Hall has something on his stream

Plenty of sunshine again in Minnesota. I wonder if there's enough daylight left to fix the thermodynamic situation. Also this is a high res image. Highly recommend zooming in and looking at the cloud structure. It's pretty.

Impressive wall cloud on stream

 

[snostorm21]

Storm entering OK bears watching. Intensifying rapidly.

Oh the irony

 

[eep]

I think the line is breaking apart? Big split north of Albert Lea.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

I've never noticed or used this feature, so I have nothing to compare it to, but these seem like high values.

 

[ColdFront]

Oh the irony

Yup haha

 

[snostorm21]

Kossuth County storm looks really impressive on Ryans stream.

Oof, yeah. Also just east of Blue Earth, as well.

 

[ColdFront]

You’ll probably get some QLCS spin ups up north, but I think the super cellular violent tornado threat is pretty much gone now up there.

Kansas looks to be very interesting over the next few hours

 

[Tanner]

The line of semi-discrete storms in southern MN have an outflow boundary jut out in front of them. Until that goes away, those will never produce tornadoes.

 

[snostorm21]

I think the Oklahoma cell may be capable of producing a strong tornado later on in the evening if it can organize itself in the next hour.

 

[Muwx]

Left split on the OK storm probably going to ruin most of that environment. A bit early still but the old lady might be starting to sing

If you want to jump-start the chances of tornadogenesis, just have at least one of those cells ingest the OFB and see what happens...
