Tornado warned cell near Dewitt, about 40 minutes ago.  Looking north.  Messy af.  

Just so much crowding with these storms today. I think they get too hyped on ingredients anymore, sure the SRH was great but they gotta have room to breathe

As expected it was a non-event for the entire DVN cwa.  Another bullet dodged.

I agree. The CAM's were stacking these semi discreet bows like Civil War regiment lines for the last 48hrs whereas the lower res models were playing the synoptic game. Think the CAM's won (maybe not the HRRR, it was just wonky). Some of them looked like late June/July ridge riding cold pool driven bows. Definitely not enough spacing for any sups to bust and run. There's still 80/70's down south and a definite nocturnal threat ongoing down there. Kinda the price we pay in Spring for these setups. We need wide open warm sectors all morning and day with just enough capping to allow more surface based initiation. Sux to waste a stout EML that worked its way this far East. Those will be harder and harder to come by as we move into mid June.

Really underwhelming so far, we'll see if this'll turn into a nocturnal event.

...A TORNADO WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1100 PM CDT FOR
SOUTHEASTERN STONE COUNTY...

At 1046 PM CDT, a confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado was
located near Mountain View, moving east at 35 mph.

This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TAKE COVER NOW!

Yep, this setup had all the classic signs. Just before I hit the hay, the warnings burgeon and the monsters emerge.

This was an extremely violent storm through here.  I'm exhausted.  Part 2 tonight.  I'm thinking I won't have my phone near me.  The alerts were insane.  I'm one tired old lady. :-/

Actually had some good storms up here along the front after the late afternoon clearing.  Some transient supercell structures, lots of lightning and some gusty winds

could be wrong, but IMO there'll be more of these easterly EMLs than usual this summer, given the incredible drought out west.
