04/27/07 NOW: E KS/W MO

[Andy Wehrle]

Small supercell passing just north of Mound City, Kansas with tornado warning and law-enforcement report of funnel cloud. Moderate rotation visible on EAX and TWX radar. Not sure where this came from exactly. 60/52 in the vicinity so LCLs are low enough for it to produce if everything else goes right.

I've been watching this set-up too. Storms are associated with a compact vort max and -20C 500mb cold pool. The cells recieving the tornado warnings have been the ones immediately northeast of the surface reflection (low pressure near Ottawa KS attm), where sr-hodographs are actually decent despite weak BL flow given strongly backed surface winds. Can't chase since I'm working.

Thats the 2nd time this week ive seen 2 seperate supercells track from the nw to se. The other sup was the Eagle Pass storm which also tracked in a nw to se direction. The storm is still rotating and dangerous. Looks like it will be in Nevada, Mo in the next 15-20 min.
