Indystorm Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 OKC discussion expects that a MCS will affect the southern half of the state overnight tonight and then emphasizes that recovery might take place Sat. afternoon. No sign of such a system on radar as of yet. If it does not form tomorrow may be significantly enhanced more than originally expected even though eyes are presently on Monday.

ct_yankee Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Reed Timmer intercepted one of the Nebraska tornadoes on foot earlier. That's right, he walked into a tornado - or rather, the tornado came down on top of him and he didn't run away. Video is on his twitter feed. The mans crazy, but you have to give him props. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him props for what?? Being an idiot? Sure, I'll give him props for that. This is why storm chasing has such a stigma attached to it.

yoda Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Mesoscale Discussion 0661 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0955 PM CDT Fri May 17 2019 Areas affected...far eastern Ford and Edward Counties in Kansas Concerning...Tornado Watch 176... Valid 180255Z - 180400Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 176 continues. SUMMARY...Significant tornado likely ongoing -- now crossing the Ford/Edwards county line in Kansas. DISCUSSION...Latest radar data reveals a very strong low-level circulation just east of the Dodge City WSR-88D -- with rotational velocity in excess of 80 kt in some recent volume scans. This rotational velocity, within the existing high CAPE/high shear environment (resulting in a SIGTOR value of 5-6 across the area) is suggestive of a potentially strong to violent tornado. With this storm having a history of cyclic tornado occurrence, persons across Edwards county and northeast into parts of Pawnee and Stafford counties may be affected in the next half hour, as the storm moves northeastward at 35 kt. ..Goss.. 05/18/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
