KSWx Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Finally saw they put it up. Odd that it wouldn't go there first. The SPC page tends to be a bit delayed. You'll see it as well when they put up new convective outlook; if you click a convective outlook as soon as it's put out, it will be the previous one for a few good minutes before the most recent will show up.

Indystorm Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I think one of our problems wrt tor formation has been the lack of helicity thus far per SPC meso page. This will likely change as that 500 and 300mb jet noses across the base of the TX panhandle this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College of Dupage's SPC products page tends to update info immediately: http://kamala.cod.edu/SPC/ I did notice that previously. Also, when the discussions and watches are first posted, the pictures to accompany them are often missing for a few minutes. Where should I be looking first, to see accurate information first, if not SPC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Updraft is increasing around Swearingen TX, with more of a classic looking supercell developing. I wonder if we will see anything more interesting on velocity (or chaser video streams). A couple of chasers (on TVN) near there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Nothing really has "that look" at the moment. See what the next few hours bring. I think the isolated supercell near Quanah, TX has pretty decent potential as he evening progresses, as long as nothing substantial develops to it's south...

Misstertwister Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 This almost looks like one of those days where the potential is so high storms fire up then go linear and tail end Charlie forms a tornado. Similar to El Reno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Cell headed toward Elmer looking beastly. We're on it. Getting east of rain close to Tipton. Looks solid, but can't organize at low levels yet visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks solid, but can't organize at low levels yet visually.This traffic is nuts and is really killing my buzz. We are literally down to 30-something mph, and had some idiot yell at us on a loud speaker. I'm glad this thing isn't flying because this is a cluster.

Misstertwister Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Let me rephrase that. I don't mean a tornado like el Reno 2013, I just remember storms pooping up discretely then congealing together and then boom el Reno happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Can you find a spot to park? Sheesh, they're probably parked IN the road considering the amount of people that are on this thing. Hopefully people play it safe; that amount of chaser convergence could be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground Scouring Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I wouldn't expect these cells to produce anything significant/long-lived (other than brief tornadoes) for another hour or so because the VBV in the lower to mid levels is just so stubborn. I do expect things to change later on, but right now I foresee some more mergers. Currently the Jackson Co. cell is stubbornly but tenuously holding on to its discrete mode in an otherwise somewhat messy mixed storm environment.
