OceanStWx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 This boundary is more or less oriented NNW-SSE, and you can see how this cell has latched onto it and is deviating even farther right than the standard 30R75. Completely maximizing the tornado potential right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Might be a bad scan, but latest scan shows 178kts inbound at around 11kft. Wow, look at this mesocyclone structure. I saw a -122.38 knots on base velocity there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewxmann Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Marc Dillard reports wall cloud hugging the ground near Sharon; at least 3 tornadoes so far produced by the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Based on the KFOR chaser feed, that is a large bowl shaped wall cloud very close to the ground. Essentially the meso is lowering itself very close to the ground, which makes it very easy for the storm to drop tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Might be a bad scan, but there's a 128knot bin on the south side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye05 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Looks like something really major could happen by looking at the KFOR feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Massive, massive rotation from this meso. It is spinning up all sorts of circulations on the fringes, and debris/dust is visible beneath some of these funnels that are shooting out of the side of the wall cloud.

SouthernNJ Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The storm near Fort Supply, 10-15 miles NW of Woodward, maybe should've had its own SVR polygon by the looks of things. Although it would have covered a small area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 As I mentioned earlier, despite relatively meager low level shear, this storm is maximizing its potential and coupled with such a well defined boundary has the potential to produce localized significant tornado damage (EF2+).

OceanStWx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 My guess is that photos of this tornado/storm will be pretty spectacular. It is maintaining a LP structure, and it shold be providing very clear views of the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 A few weaker couplets up near Woodward. Those two sups up near Woodward are moving south very quickly, and looks like it will catch up to the Sharon/Mutal sup soon. Wonder if we'll see sort of a fujiwara interaction. If that takes place the Mutual storm will probably slow up, and move a little more easterly very soon. The Woodward meso could eventually become very dominant. Gonna be interesting to watch.

OceanStWx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Absolutely keep an eye on the trailing cells too, they will be riding the same boundary, albeit with less favorable inflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
