[David Drummond]

just happen to glance at David Drummon's Live ChaseCam nice cell filling his camera lens. anyone know where he is located at? just wondering

I am in Tye west of Abilene. That cell is to my north.

 

[W. Grant Dade]

Cell in Clay CO. seems to be turning right. If I could I would be at the intersection of 82 and SR59 near Saint Jo. Should be a good spot as the storm moves east over the next hour.

Timmer's in the middle of the hail storm...

 

[James Aydelott]

that Montague storm should start being seeded pretty soon by the throckmorton anvil.

 

[Dustin Wilcox]

It's small, and currently not even SVR warned, but that Throckmorton storm is the one I expect to have the best chance of a tube over the next 2 hours.

 

[James Aydelott]

0-1 and 0-3km helicity fields still suck. but cape is pretty decent. best tornado chance will likely be throckmorton, and probably not for a very long duration-there is another tower SW of the trockmorton storm that will possibly seed it to HD

 

[Jason Montano]

Last two scans show that cell ENE of Throckmorton either cycling or taking a dump. Too bad it looked kind of interesting for a bit there.

Im starting to wonder if the storms that are going on now and dying out now will produce any kind of boundaries that may serve to back the winds. This would obviously not help the current storms but more or less the ones still back to the W and others that may form in NC TX. Just a thought....

Not sure about the outflow boundary itself serving to help back the winds, but the first line that initiated in vicinity of Wichita Falls clearly through off an outflow boundary which has probably played a roll in initiation of new line of storms developing south of OKC now.

We are seeing some backing of surface winds in extreme SW Oklahoma according to the Oklahoma Mesonet data -- probably in response to the 1003mb surface low over extereme NW Texas which looks to have finally started to assert its influence.

May want to keep an eye on the tail end of the new line approaching Lawton then Duncan, as the overall environment looks decent out ahead.

Two OFB's (or is the N one some other type of bdry?) are about to crash into each other from about Anadarko to Moore to Chandler. Dunno about being sfc based, but ought to be fun to watch what happens!

BTW, and this is a reply about an old question, but many chasers can be tracked (Including David D) on the Spotter Network:

http://www.spotternetwork.org/google.php

There's also some storm report data on there.

I think this image is cool. Looks like there's a gimongous fire near Lawton, LOL

 

[Kiel Ortega]

Currently repositioning on the Jack Co storm...the base could be described as high....also pretty sure there is negative low level shear in the area.
Not too bad of a day thus far with 2.75" hail the maximum me and my partners have found on the side of the road

 

[Bob Schafer]

There MUST be some flooding occurring from that nearly stationary/training line of storms in C OK.

Keep an eye on the convective initiation from the OFB S of the C OK line.

Triple Point

Could this be a radar view of the triple point? Sure seems to line up well with the current surface obs.

 

[Bob Schafer]

You betcha. Three obs from the three sectors:

Vernon: 88/27 wind WNW (behind DL)
SPS: 79/61 wind SSE (warm sector)
Hobart: 69/49 wind NNE (cold sector)

 

[Scott Lincoln]

...and the dryline is moving westward if anything... doesn't look good for supercells near the triple point right now in my opinion.

 

[Bob Schafer]

That storm "everybody" is on near Sunset TX looks pretty dead now. Show's over there, but the storm in NE TX, near Tulip, is cranking.

Sorry Mike, I don't get it. I'm old, LOL.
