4/23/07 NOW: CO/KS/OK/TX

[FONT=&quot]It looks like the cells along and south of I-40 are having to contend with a wave of subsidence- bill[/FONT]

That combined with the fact these all fired along the edge of a cirrus canopy/differential heating zone where overall low level support doesn't look as great compared to points further west-northwest. I'd still exercise patience from AMA north to DDC...moisture convergence slowly increasing here. Just wish I could be down there!
 
The storm northwest of Fort Morgan is going to go tornado warned anytime; starting to get a strong mid level mesocyclone. The business end should pass right over Mark Farniks deck! Tornado genesis while barbecuing.
 
New thundershower on north edge of Denver metro area seems to have an appendage on it as well. Now just SW of Brighton. Rotation seems to be mostly at the mid-levels at this time.

As for the Fort Morgan, CO, storm... GR2AE seems to be having problems with its MDA on that storm. The velocity seems really noisy, and thus seem to be getting some false TVSs. The meso that it identified earlier seems justifiable, rotation seems fairly consitant at the mid levels, but near the surface its alot more noisy and am not sure if the radar is just picking up lots of turbulance or actual rotation.

Looks like the main action on the southern end is starting to get going just eat of a line from Silverton, TX, to Stratford, TX. The southern half of that line is probably the most favorable, as it seems like the dryline might actually be moving eastward there.

I currently have a good visual of the new storm south of Boulder. It has a "stacked plate" appearance and a relatively high rain-free base. It also seems to be rotating slowly.
 
Have virtually moved east ten miles to May, OK, to avoid nasty core of supercell to my sw. Anticipating north on OK46 to follow. Going "visual" on the virtual chase. Good night all, stay safe, and good luck!....
 
Tornado warning has been issued for small cell on southwest flank of mini-cluster in extreme NW OK... centered 18 S of May.

Actually it was issued for both cells if you look at the warning itself. Neither really looking too ominous.
 
It's about time!!! Tornado warning issued for the Morgan county, CO storm. Rotation appearing at lower tilts and a nice tight couplet at higher angles, along with a TVS.
 
Seeing some amazing values for Craven Sig Svr on the Spc Mesoanalysis tool. Some values over 100! Big hail values too for the region nw of Del Rio and near Ft Stockton. I remember checking the tornado forecast parameter for tonight and it goes crazy for Tx - except I suppose it's probably capped then.
 
Latest SVS includes mention of confirmed tornadoes in both Ellis and Harper counties from storm spotters. Haviland KS profiler indicates 0-2km agl flow is stronger than indicated on the Mesoanalysis pages, which may well be contributing to the tornado threat of these decidedly "non-ominous" storms.

Exploding tower in Harper Co, Ks SW of ICT. Thing has gone up in the last 15 min. Will be intercepting this storm if she holds together as it passes close to home.

Edit: And as fast as it went up it came back down lol... <------ im getting trigger happy lol but man did it look good for a minute on the vis sat. Started to have a small anvil and had a good looking tower under it but she fell apart.
