nwohweather Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 1 hour ago, mnchaserguy said: Radar loop of the Nebraska supercells last night for anyone interested. One of the crazier velocity loops you’ll ever see. Wouldn’t be surprised if that tornado was on the ground for 2-3 hours.https://x.com/peterc428/status/1916728473755828285?s=42 . Were those other storms firing up off outflows from the main cell and then combining back into it? It was very odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 looks like a non-event around here.a marginal is questionable enough as it is, let alone an enhanced into portions of the CWA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnchaserguy Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Were those other storms firing up off outflows from the main cell and then combining back into it? It was very oddNot sure. I’d have to go back and look at the surface obs. I know they fired close to a warm front. If I had to guess they fired off the cold front or dryline (can’t remember which, probably a DL) and then moved north and anchored on the warm front where there was better low level shear. An open warm sector to their south with plenty of unimpeded instability and the shear and helicity of the warm front was a perfect set up for what played out last night. Glad it was over mostly open grassland but that also meant road network was terrible and prevented some better footage of what could end up being a 2 mile wide tornado. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnchaserguy Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 The we got very lucky yet again here in MSP where we split the storms this afternoon. It has been a very long time since we have had a significant storm come through. Only a matter of time before that averages out. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnchaserguy Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 My roof is 14 years old and I’ve never filed an insurance claim. Let’s get ours. The last two times we had a significant tornado come through the metro were the EF1 that went through Minneapolis in 2011 and the Hugo EF3 in 2008. We are well overdue. Crazy thing is both of those tornadoes were overshadowed by EF5s elsewhere the same day (Joplin and Parkersburg). . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Training sleepy rumblers this morning as the main action, if any, moves off to the ESE. I hope this boundary sets up south of I70 so I'm on the cool side and can stay out of a couple of days of rain trains. We've had so much rain the grass is trying out for the NBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago So as we know Monday April 28th was not a big day. I found the initial, quite strongly worded Day 3 moderate risk a bit of a head-scratcher from the get-go given the lack of a CAM signal for initiating discrete convection. However I had already booked the PTO from a week out when the setup looked potentially higher-ceiling so I went anyway given that there eventually was a signal for some storm development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
