Severe Weather Threat 4/27-4/28, 2024 - (Saturday, Sunday)

[Equus]

Texas cell tornado warned, both of them now with good mesos

Also a substantial hook NE from NNE so I think we're rooted and ready to drop tornadoes on the southwesternmost cells

Got an observed tornado in the KS/MO border area.

kinda looks like those two northern Texas cells are beginning to move away from each other

As you guys know by my profile, I live in Wichita Falls, so I will definitely try to take pictures of this approaching storm.

Of course as safely as possible.

Slight lingering cap certainly explains why the Lawton cell just died; open warm sector cells are the ones to watch because they'll go upscale way slower than the dryline storms, but of course forcing is very weak in open warm sectors without cell mergers or mesoscale shenanigans so any capping will definitely make those potentially troublesome cells struggle a lot

Seeing quite a bit of clearing over Lawton.

North MS storm chaser approaching the Hobart storm:

Stronger forcing won’t come in until later this evening, although I’m not a sure about the dry line storms becoming linear as early like what was expected before.

There’s hardly any storms in Texas other than the pair next to me.

Hobart storm now has a Tornado possible tag on it now.

 

[cincywx]

rotation on the northern of the two cells seems to have weakened quite a bit, while the southern one has increased in rotation

 

[Equus]

If we can clear out that lil inversion at 700mb, the warm sector may be good to go

I think they said it was starting to erode.

I think they said it was starting to erode.

That's the actual observed balloon sounding showing that it's still in place at the moment.
