Thank you.

Cell over NW Colorado is severe warned. Looks like it's got some structure on radar but it's hard to tell since it is on the perimeter of all the surrounding stations.

Anyone up for a tail-end charlie? I mean tail-end somewhere in the vicinity south of Fort Stockton, TX? Great inflow it seems on that badboy, probably gonna start spitting baseballs like all great SW TX monsters...ahh memories, poor old windshield. C Kansas is about to blow up as well. Have fun and I'll be back! (from the UK in July)

 

[B Ozanne]

Could the dry punch be anymore text book in KS? It's clearly visible on radar now (dust, birds, etc) and now a cell is going up in Trego County, KS

Forgot about my NE cell for awhile but structure is still looking good on radar. Hook is just about to move over the western end of Lake McConaughy.

Still moving NE and has slowed to 20mph.

This is about the intersection of Keith, Garden, and Arthur counties in NE

 

[Larry J. Kosch]

TORN Warning in Arthur

TORN warning issued for Arthur County in NE. Looks like Bill's storm is really flying now. :lol: LJK.

Updated: And that storm cell has taken that classic "right-hand" turn, meaning its getting tornadic. There's a nice hook and a inflow notch in the storm on radar. This storm has already been TORN warned. 8) LJK.

 

[B Ozanne]

KS storm just got severe warned.

Trego County, moving NE at 45mph!

Looks to cross I-70 just west of US-283
