06/09/2009 NOW: KS/OK

[Jim Saueressig]

We had a strong line just pass through that took down the power to Burlington. We had numerous rounds of small hail and it just started up again with the hail, one inch but flat as can be. Typing on my phone now so this stinks. Reports (scanner) of various roads flooded and branches out of trees.

EDIT: Just got home from a run out in the county to see what happened and the power is finally back up. There were lots of trees down and uprooted, power lines down and numerous roads flooded. Found a building that had been de-roofed and some of the tin from that over a mile away.

Tail end/SE storm of developing line along/just north of the warm front has developed into a stout supercell in Allen/Bourbon County, KS. Reports of funnels just NW of Bronson, KS; possible baseball size hail with the core.

DDC Short Fuse Composite is showing what appears to be a mesolow forming just west of Wichita (near Cheney).

 

[Chris Allington]

Towers are starting to go up east of ICT south of the El Dorado area... were heading that direction as its the first real solid attempt we've seen so far.

 

[Jason Bolt]

Not sure what TV station got the video of the storm near Fort Scott but I do know Tyler Constantini was on that storm and is now on the TOR warned storm south of Pittsburg. He has been on air w/ several radio stations here while I sit stuck at work

 

[Jacob Ferden]

Currently sitting on the west side of Wichita. Tower went up to the east but doesn't seem to be doing a very good job of riding the boundary. Will leave in a couple minutes to head down to Mulvane, and south from there as needed to keep up with the front. I am leaning towards going a ways east of I-35 (ugh) in case the RUC is right about the veering 850mb winds.

 

[Chris Allington]

New storm starting to show on GR3 blowing up on the Butler/ Greenwood County Line SW of Eureka. Updraft sends up new plumes everytime it looks like it is weakening so hopefully it remains persistent.

 

[Jason McKittrick]

I just looked at the SPC meso analysis upper air products and I am wondering why everyone is sitting under the +11, +12 C 700mb ridge axis. Looks like you either should go west and gamble that the 700/500 trough will make it before dark or go for the stuff in far eastern Kansas. Just my two cents, I am not chasing today.

Or you could look at satellite observations and realize that mid-level clouds will drastically reinforce any cap that was left from this afternoon's brief heating.

Shame...

 

[Andrew Pritchard]

I'd be really surprised to see much, if any redevelopment back towards the west this evening. The aforementioned cloud cover moving back into the area, veering low level winds, rising LFC's, and lack of any enhanced cu field now at 5:00 PM have me fairly content sitting this one out. I think areas along and west of 35 are pretty well hosed for this one. I'll eat some crow later on if I'm proven wrong by mother nature. I sure hope I am for those that made the trip.

 

[Danny Neal]

Storm just went up West of DDC looks to be on the boundary. 83/61 ESE winds in DDC and 90/43 to the South in OK. Lets see if this can utilize the boundary. I would expect to see the train of chasers pulling out of ICT anytime now Wish I was there

 

[Andrew Francis]

Towers going up in northwest OK. Looks pretty isolated thus far. Could be some nice storms out of this area tracking towards I-35.

 

[B. Hey]

Another storm trying to go up east of ICT along the boundary. I'm headed that way and going to wish for the best.
