June 4-7: Severe wx (Omaha tornado update)

[KWT]

Some nice cells there going to have to watch in case one of them decides to develop a hook or not.
Also that discussion mentions that eventually we will have a Drecho to deal with which will only help to highten the wind risk as we go into the late eveing overnight hours.

Interesting to see, how KS storms ignited along a meteorological fuse cord.

Was that the dryline ?

[CrazyC83]

Once a derecho develops, there will still be embedded tornadoes within and at the edge of it (plus any supercells that develop ahead of the main line).

[Weatherfreak14]

Near Quinter KS, Nice rotation.

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 465...

VALID 052027Z - 052200Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 465 CONTINUES.

EVOLUTION OF A PRE-FRONTAL SQUALL LINE IS NOW WELL UNDERWAY FROM
NEAR CONCORDIA SOUTHWARD THROUGH MEDICINE LODGE...AND RAPID NEW
DEVELOPMENT IS COMMENCING SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA. THIS IS
OCCURRING AS INHIBITION WEAKENS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF STRONGER
MID-LEVEL COOLING...WHICH COULD APPROACH MANHATTAN/WICHITA AND ENID
BY/SHORTLY AFTER 23Z. LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS ARE GENERALLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL...BUT SHEAR BENEATH A 50 KT SOUTHERLY 850 JET IS
EXTREME...AND SUPPORTIVE OF ISOLATED TORNADOES IN THE MORE DISCRETE
CELLS. OTHERWISE...DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
TO INCREASE...ASSOCIATED WITH EVAPORATIVE COOLING AND DOWNWARD
TRANSPORT OF MOMENTUM ASSOCIATED WITH A 60 KT DEEP LAYER MEAN
ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW REGIME NEAR THE MID/UPPER JET AXIS.

[Mightybri]

Wasn't Quinter hit three times last week?

[denise9855]

They are still saying these storms are going to go into the overnight hours here in Kansas. Glad I have a weather radio for nights like these!!!!! At least I can sleep in between the storms if nothing else.

[KWT]

Quinter was hit quite hard if I recall last week by a tornado so hoping they don't get hit again so soon...that cell is starting to look more and more suspect its got to be said does look like a hook developing.

Pretty nice hook on radar. Look for a possible tornado in Rice Co. KS.

[KWT]

Yep that hook is pretty evident though its probably still in the developing stage I guess.

I live 22 miles east of Hutchinson. Looks pretty black to the west.

Any pics you can take and post?

Any pics you can take and post?

I've taken a few. Haven't uploaded them. Making sure that I don't need to go to the basement. VERY high winds here.
I'd say around 45

Just had a gust of 55

[wbug1]

Looking at Amarillo radar (3:48 CDT) shows three 65 dbz cells with 75 dbz echos in them just east of TX/Oklahoma border approx 75 km NNE of Childress, TX. That's going to track all night. Just can't figure out why the Oklahoma radar just shows 55 dbz echos. In addition, no severe thunderstorm warnings are up near those cells.

[KWT]

Yep your right wbug1 these storms are going to last well into the overnight hours as will the Drecho so going to likely have severe weather when we wake up here in Europe I should think.
