6/08/2005 Talk: Central US

[Scott Udell]

He said the storm was moving NE, but that the reports of touchdowns were moving SW. Could be he meant that the storm itself was backbuilding at the same time its signature is moving NE. I think it's moot, now, as that storm may be getting choked off now? That cell though is merging (it seems) with the Tongie cell--ooo, showing it on KCTV5 now, looks like a significant lowering (inflow and lowering).

Sort of. If you run a loop and watch carefully, you'll see that the core of the storm has remained stationary. The front-flank and anvil precip, however, has spread NE over time. Essentially, the storm itself is practically stationary, as each new updraft develops in the same general area as the previous (or perhaps a little SW along the flanking line).

The new storm to the south has an interesting radar presentation. I would assume it would become the dominant of the two storms from here on out.
