Girard/Franklin KS, Stockton/Pierce City MO: sorry mods for not posting this in the name of the thread
Most of us remember this deadly tornadic outbreak, many tornadoes affecting well populated areas and in some cases entire towns taking direct hits. T
This event has long raised questions for me regarding the fast pace and movement of the dryline. Below I have pasted the surface plots/Tds for 21z, interestingly enough the dryline at 21z was just east of ICT and was moving east FAST!
I was chasing with Randy Hicks on this day and remember hearing (via NOAA radio) that the dryline was moving east at 40-50mph at one point.
I do not ever remember a dryline moving this fast before and have always wondered why this happend. Also attached is a video grab from my cam of the Girard KS F-4. This killer tornado was a very long track tornado that we first intercepted north of Parsons KS.
Any ideas?
