[Clancy]

Now developing a meso.

Barnsdall Nursing Home with a direct hit.

 

[KCweatherboy]

I'm worried that cell will go crazy if it interacts with an outflow boundary from the QLCS towards the north

This is what @Fred Gossage had been warning us about earlier

 

[Maxis_s]

Mother of god...

 

[Brice W]

The northern storm looks to be more linear.

 

[hurricaneguy]

It's truly a miracle so far with all these classic soundings that we havent had multiple Barnsdall type tornadoes so far

 

[TornadoFan17]

I'm going to be sick. Every update out of Barnsdall gets worse and worse and this storm near Gracemont on that OKC/Moore track has me very worried.

 

[TornadoFan]

The Carney storm looks like it's taking on more of a supercelluar form.

 

[Evan]

HRRR has remained insistent for several runs now that an isolated supercell south of Norman -- say Lawton to Davis -- gets going and does pretty mean things.

[Evan]

South of Carney is moving into a very favorable area and should be warned soon.

Southward movement to the Carney storm is not what we wanted to see. It can now get into better parameter space.

 

[Brice W]

Oh.

 

[KCweatherboy]

Tornado warning in northern suburbs of Kansas City within the QLCS, seems to be radar-indicated.

 

[Clancy]

Possible TDS? It's been co-located for 2 scans.

Hey, go take a few minutes and get away from your screens. Do some deep breathing or take a quick walk. Stressing out about this, when there's nothing you can do to help, isn't helpful for anyone, especially yourself. While it's important to know about damage, you don't need to experience the trauma that the people impacted and assisting are.

 

[Clancy]

Rotation continuing to increase near Spring Creek.

 

[kcyalater]

the main show is about to begin.
