6/17/09: NOW NE/KS/IA/MO/SD/TN/KY

Getting a really late start out of Lincoln due to work.... debating if I should head just a bit south and west and hope for things to pop within the general vicinity or high tail it west to catch the beast heading for Grand Island. That thing is a monster!
 
A cell went up and tornadic E of Albert Lee MN/N of I-90 in less than six vol scans. Straight up! The NWS has expanded their Moderate warning to include the NW corner of IA and the NE corner of NE...

This was the supercell in northeast KS that didn't produce the tornado, of course. Its structure early on almost made up for it, until I heard the wedge report on the other storm. My brother and I are giving up on chasing and going to drown our sorrows and watch the Kansas City Greinkes. Good luck to all those in NE, I'm sure you'll bag bunches of wedges now that we're off the road.
 
tornado on the ground South West of Grand Island. Brian Thalken on it.

Now has lifted. Very impressive Wall Cloud.

7:03 P.M. CST Roger Hill is on the same Storm http://www.severestudios.com/cgi-bin/player.pl?username=roger.hill&uid=15

7:04 P.M. CST New Tornado on the ground or very close to it. Looks like it could be very impressive.

7:06 P.M. CST Tornado now roping out. This thing keeps looking like it is going to drop a very impressive tornado only to have it rope out soon after. Wall Cloud is very low hanging.

7:16 P.M. CST RFD is wrapping in and a new wall cloud appears to be forming. Very concerned about Grand Island right now.

Nice supercell has gone up in the last hour just north of Columbia, MO. This one hurts - I came within a hair of heading for there around 3:30 or 4:00 this afternoon but just could not convince myself, looking at the models and SPC discussions, that anything would go up farther east than the stuff that initiated in northeast KS and crossed into MO (which is now TOR-warned, likely an HP supercell, near Carrolton, MO). Would have been tough to get to that by dark when I considered leaving, but the COU storm would have been easy. I just wasn't convinced any more supercells would form east of the original cluster. But don't chase, and they will form. 2009 rolls on.
 
The storm west of Grand Island has cycled and the new hook/meso is 19 miles west of Grand Island as of 7:23pm CDT or about 12 miles WNW of Alda, NE. As of now, I can't see a tornado on Roger Hill's cam.
 
Four tornado-warned supercells in northern IA and southern MN at the moment. I was just up in that area earlier today for work, and now I'm back home too far away! :(
 
Grand Island storm has a very nice wall cloud, but the velocity scans show a decrease in shear. Maybe because the track has shifted SE, much like the supercell earlier today in Odell, NE.

*edit* Roger has a nice little funnel on the Grand Island cell. She is shifting her track back NE. Wall cloud is getting re-established.
