NROT values have spiked to an incredible 3.14!

I'm praying that this supercell stays out in open terrain for its entire life cycle!

Unfortunately there’s some scatter homesteads in between the towns around here.

Might be occluding. Seeing a new area of rotation I think.

I'm at 210mph GTG after crosses 54. Unreal how this thing keeps cycling and then showing explosive development.

Looks like it's gonna miss Haviland, which was the only real populated town (east of Greensburg) that had the potential of getting hit outside of Greensburg.

 

[Clancy]

New meso trying to take over.

 

[Pbrussell]

Not sure if the southern storm is gonna get ingested or cut off inflow yet

 

[Tennie]

The merger is in progress now. Let's see what that does to this supercell. Personally, I'm praying that it causes the cell to weaken!

So far it hasn't stopped at all, unfortunately...

Per reports palo pinto county TX took in some serious damage.

 

[Equus]

This is gonna be wrapped in so much rain between cells that it'll be impossible to see even if it were daylight out

 

[NorthGaWeather]

The inflow signature on SRM is pretty incredible. Just an absolute monster.

To give you an idea of how strong this storm is, there is a lot of lightning near Medicine Lodge, KS, about 30 miles away from the storm. That's one impressive storm/updraft that has taken over a large area of the environment.

 

[Maxis_s]

Brett Adair has gotta get out of there NOW

 

[Pbrussell]

lol a meso is trying to get going behind the dominant meso. This cell is trying to be pilger

 

[JPWX]

Not to deviate from Kansas issues, but this storm coming out of Hernando, MS is potent. Looks like too it's riding along leftover outflow boundary from this morning.

 

[Jbop]

Per Met another tornado warning about to be issued for McKinney/Collin County TX

Edit: Per mention storm chaser reported a wall cloud with this storm

Tor warned.

These cells are still in an environment of an STP of SEVENTEEN. It cannot be understated how unbelievably volatile this environment is.

Next town in the path is Byers KS. Population 38.
