Outside of the tornados, new and broken line of storms stretches from downtown Amarillo, down to Hobbs along the dry line(TX) and cold front(NM). This is likely the backedge of this event developing.

Hey Gang,

Looks like the Goodland, KS tornado was a long-lived and damaging one. It is still on the ground and producing a CONFIRMED "LARGE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS" tornado heading toward Bird City, KS.

Jordan, they don't stream their coverage online.

 

[John Peters]

The Goodland, KS storm has a classic hook echo.

Is that detached circular echo a tornado debris signature?

 

[Scott Lincoln]

GR2Analyst's rotation algorithm with default parameter settings has had the supercell in eastern Cheyenne County, KS, at its second highest TVS level. I only remember seeing it higher in the radar data from the May 1999 Moore tornado. I'd say the radar data is backing up the storm reports for sure.
If the tornado remains on the ground and stays on it's present course, it will cause significant damage to Bird City, KS.
