Couplets everywhere in TN.
yikes

Woodward storm could go nuts fast. Cell mergers seem to be happening

 

[TH2002]

Tornado looks very possible with the cell heading into Cookeville, TN.

Is this on the SPC meso analysis page?

Mooreland storm is now up to 50,000 feet.

Mini supercell outbreak in TN wasn't really on my mind today, but we sure did get it.

Question about supercell dynamics. Once storms are rooted to the surface and they pass into an area with a warm nose (capping inversion even) does it have any impact on their health/longetivity?

 

[TH2002]

Woah woah Nebraska, what the hell are you doing?

New SVR for the Woodward supercell, extending out to Alva/Dacoma near the southern Kansas border. I think it's going to cycle for a bit and then strengthen. Watching the Reed Trimmer and News 9 streams and RadarScope.

Hook forming on the Mooreland supercell.

Watching this too, looks really impressive on radar.

Not right away. Look at the West Liberty EF3 from 2012 for reference.

They can’t go on forever in that kind of environment but they can certainly persist for some time after crossing boundaries into less favorable environments.

Couplet became less defined in the most recent scan, but hook is still very much there. Wouldn't be surprised to see a spinup with that storm.

 

[TH2002]

It's happening with the Mooreland cell.

 

[Clancy]

New TOR in TN.

 

[TH2002]

Confirmed TOR over Smithville, TN!
