I have removed earlier information to consolidate this post a bit more manageable in size. I have the other info saved to a word document and can repost, or PM to anyone jumping in late that may need it. Tomorrow we will be wrapping up Chase Case 1. I appreciate the participation as well as the kind words from all. Any data not posted that you may need feel free to drop me a PM and I will accommodate.

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH CONTINUES. Numerous supercells have produced tornadoes, one in particular has produced a long track tornado through Bent County, Co. and into Kiowa County, CO. This is a dangerous cyclic cell.
NUMEROUS SEVERE SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED WITHIN
UPSLOPE REGION OF THE CNTRL HIGH PLAINS FROM ERN CO INTO WRN KS.
THIS ACTIVITY IS EVOLVING WITHIN STRONGLY FORCED LEFT EXIT REGION OF
UPPER JET...AND CONVERGENT LOW LEVEL ELY FLOW REGIME. ALTHOUGH
INSTABILITY IS NOT PARTICULARLY IMPRESSIVE...LOW CLOUD BASES WITHIN
STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT FAVOR A CONTINUED TORNADO THREAT. ONE

BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AND COULD MAINTAIN TORNADIC CHARACTERISTICS
FOR SOME TIME...ESPECIALLY IF STORM MERGERS DO NOT INTERRUPT IT/S
INFLOW.
As of 19 UTC a relatively widespread Cu field has erupted along the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle with some cells firing to the NW of AMA up into the Oklahoma Panhandle into SW Kansas. These cells appear to be a bit elevated, but should become more sfc based as the day progresses. The tornado threat is increasing across this region from 19z through the rest of the evening including W. Oklahoma.

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY
VALID
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HRS ACROSS THE TX/OK PANHANDLES. A TORNADO WATCH WILL LIKELY
BE NEEDED BY 20Z.
CONVECTIVE INITIATION IS EVIDENT ON LATEST VIS SATELLITE
IMAGERY...COINCIDENT WITH A SFC DRYLINE EXTENDING FROM NEAR A
DUMAS-WILDORADO-SUDAN LINE AS OF 19Z. MOIST/UNSTABLE AXIS EXTENDS
ACROSS THE CNTRL TX/OK PANHANDLES...CHARACTERIZED BY SFC DEWPOINTS
IN THE UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S. 18Z KAMA RAOB INDICATES AN UNSTABLE AND
WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. STRATUS
FIELD CONTINUES TO ERODE ACROSS THE ERN TX PANHANDLE. CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING ALONG THE DRYLINE WITHIN THE NEXT
HR. DISCRETE CELLS MAY ALSO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE IN THE
MOIST SECTOR WITHIN A WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT ACROSS THE ERN TX
PANHANDLE. AN APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH/MID-LEVEL JET WILL SHIFT EWD
TOWARDS THE REGION...RESULTING IN A TIGHTENING MOISTURE GRADIENT AND
INCREASED DRYLINE CONVERGENCE.
INITIAL THREAT WITH DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL DUE
TO MAINLY UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND FIELDS. AS VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES
BECOME MORE FAVORABLE THIS AFTERNOON WITH INCREASING MID-LEVEL AND
LOW-LEVEL WINDS...THE POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELLS AND TORNADOES WILL
INCREASE.

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
AREAS AFFECTED...OK/TX PANHANDLES...FAR WRN OK...AND SWD TO WEST
CENTRAL TX
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH...
VALID
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH CONTINUES.
AN INCREASE IN MDT CU/CBS ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE SWD THROUGH MUCH
OF W TX /VICINITY OF MAF/ SINCE 21Z IS LIKELY INDICATIVE OF STRONG
DEEP FORCING FOR ASCENT SPREADING ENEWD ACROSS THIS REGION WITHIN
EXIT REGION OF 70-85 KT SWLY MID LEVEL JET. THIS JET IS NOW MOVING
OUT OF THE BASE OF THE LARGE SWRN U.S. CLOSED LOW CENTERED OVER THE
LOWER CO RIVER VALLEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ENVIRONMENT ACROSS WW 75
WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE FOR TORNADIC
SUPERCELLS AS EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR INCREASES TO 50+ KT WITHIN A
CORRIDOR OF MODERATE INSTABILITY /1500-2000 J/KG/ ALONG AND E OF THE
DRY LINE.
A NEW WW MAY BE NEEDED TO THE SOUTH OF WW 75 IN THE MAF
VICINITY...AND POSSIBLY FARTHER S...WHERE REGIONAL RADARS INDICATED
AN INCREASE IN TSTM DEVELOPMENT SINCE 2145Z. THIS ACTIVITY IS
DEVELOPING WITHIN THE SRN EXTENT OF A STRENGTHENING DRY LINE BENEATH
STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT SPREADING ENEWD INTO MUCH OF W TX AT THIS
TIME. IN ADDITION STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS OVER SW TX /AROUND
MAF/ AND AXIS EXTENDING NWD INTO TX/OK PANHANDLES WILL CONTINUE TO
AID IN BACKED S/SELY WINDS ALONG AND E OF THE DRY LINE IN RESPONSE
TO ISALLOBARIC FORCING. THESE WINDS WILL SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN LOW
LEVEL HODOGRAPH CURVATURE AND THE ATTENDANT THREAT FOR TORNADOES.
ONGOING ACTIVITY OVER DAWSON TO MIDLAND COUNTIES TX WILL TRACK NNEWD
INTO SRN EXTENT OF WW . IF OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST A GREATER SWD
DEVELOPMENT...THEN A NEW WW WOULD BE NEEDED.

As of 19 UTC a relatively widespread Cu field has erupted along the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle with some cells firing to the NW of AMA up into the Oklahoma Panhandle into SW Kansas. These cells appear to be a bit elevated, but should become more sfc based as the day progresses. The tornado threat is increasing across this region from 19z through the rest of the evening including W. Oklahoma.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0201 PM CDT
AREAS AFFECTED...TX/OK PANHANDLES
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY
VALID
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HRS ACROSS THE TX/OK PANHANDLES. A TORNADO WATCH WILL LIKELY
BE NEEDED BY 20Z.
CONVECTIVE INITIATION IS EVIDENT ON LATEST VIS SATELLITE
IMAGERY...COINCIDENT WITH A SFC DRYLINE EXTENDING FROM NEAR A
DUMAS-WILDORADO-SUDAN LINE AS OF 19Z. MOIST/UNSTABLE AXIS EXTENDS
ACROSS THE CNTRL TX/OK PANHANDLES...CHARACTERIZED BY SFC DEWPOINTS
IN THE UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S. 18Z KAMA RAOB INDICATES AN UNSTABLE AND
WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. STRATUS
FIELD CONTINUES TO ERODE ACROSS THE ERN TX PANHANDLE. CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING ALONG THE DRYLINE WITHIN THE NEXT
HR. DISCRETE CELLS MAY ALSO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE IN THE
MOIST SECTOR WITHIN A WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT ACROSS THE ERN TX
PANHANDLE. AN APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH/MID-LEVEL JET WILL SHIFT EWD
TOWARDS THE REGION...RESULTING IN A TIGHTENING MOISTURE GRADIENT AND
INCREASED DRYLINE CONVERGENCE.
INITIAL THREAT WITH DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL DUE
TO MAINLY UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND FIELDS. AS VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES
BECOME MORE FAVORABLE THIS AFTERNOON WITH INCREASING MID-LEVEL AND
LOW-LEVEL WINDS...THE POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELLS AND TORNADOES WILL
INCREASE.

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
AREAS AFFECTED...SRN KS TO SWRN MO
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID
ONE OR TWO WATCHES ARE BEING CONSIDERED ACROSS SRN KS INTO SWRN MO
AND PERHAPS PARTS OF FAR NRN OK.
REGIONAL RADARS INDICATED A COUPLE OF ONGOING TSTM CLUSTERS
EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL MO W/SWWD INTO ERN KS...WITH ADDITIONAL
STORMS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SWRN FLANK OF THIS ACTIVITY
IN ERN/SERN KS. THE COOLING/STABILIZING EFFECTS FROM THIS ACTIVITY
WILL CONTINUE TO REINFORCE THE WARM FRONT WHICH EXTENDS FROM SOUTH
CENTRAL MO WWD THROUGH FAR SRN KS TO A SURFACE LOW OVER EXTREME SERN
CO. ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY IS PRIMARILY WEAK WITH EWD EXTENT INTO ERN
KS/WRN-SWRN MO...STRONG WLY EFFECTIVE SHEAR VECTORS ORIENTED
PARALLEL TO THE WARM FRONT SHOULD CONTINUE TO SUPPORT LINE SEGMENTS
WITH A POTENTIAL THREAT FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS. IN ADDITION...
ISOLATED TORNADOES CAN NOT BE RULED OUT...GIVEN FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL
DIRECTIONAL SHEAR PER SGF VWP AND EFFECTIVE SRH VALUES 100-200 M2/S2
ALONG THE WARM FRONT OVER ERN KS INTO WEST CENTRAL/SWRN MO.
FARTHER W...INSTABILITY IS GREATER GIVEN GREATER INFLUX OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE /SURFACE DEWPOINTS INTO THE LOWER 60S ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
KS/. INCREASING FORCING FOR ASCENT EXPECTED TO SPREAD NEWD FROM THE
NM/TX BORDER REGION INTO SRN KS THIS EVENING SHOULD ALLOW ONGOING
STORMS...CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE TX PANHANDLE TO SWRN KS TO
SPREAD INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KS. EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR IN EXCESS OF 40
KT AND MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS WITH ATTENDANT
THREATS FOR TORNADOES...HAIL AND STRONG WINDS.
Reports through 22 UTC:
Tornado Reports Through 22z:
Kiowa, Elbert, and Adams County Colorado. Eads, Deer Trail, and Leader Co.
Kearney Ks. Report of a 1 mile wide wedge tornado on the ground near Kendall Ks at 2140 UTC
2159z Stove Pipe tornado reported crossing HWY in Armstrong County, Tx SE of AMA
Hail Reports Through 22Z:
Tennis Ball Hail near Gruver, Tx at 2047z, Baseball Hail near Spearman, Tx 2133z, Baseball Hail near Lakin, KS at 22z.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
AREAS AFFECTED...OK/TX PANHANDLES...FAR WRN OK...AND SWD TO WEST
CENTRAL TX
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH...
VALID
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH CONTINUES.
AN INCREASE IN MDT CU/CBS ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE SWD THROUGH MUCH
OF W TX /VICINITY OF MAF/ SINCE 21Z IS LIKELY INDICATIVE OF STRONG
DEEP FORCING FOR ASCENT SPREADING ENEWD ACROSS THIS REGION WITHIN
EXIT REGION OF 70-85 KT SWLY MID LEVEL JET. THIS JET IS NOW MOVING
OUT OF THE BASE OF THE LARGE SWRN U.S. CLOSED LOW CENTERED OVER THE
LOWER CO RIVER VALLEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ENVIRONMENT ACROSS WW 75
WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE FOR TORNADIC
SUPERCELLS AS EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR INCREASES TO 50+ KT WITHIN A
CORRIDOR OF MODERATE INSTABILITY /1500-2000 J/KG/ ALONG AND E OF THE
DRY LINE.
A NEW WW MAY BE NEEDED TO THE SOUTH OF WW 75 IN THE MAF
VICINITY...AND POSSIBLY FARTHER S...WHERE REGIONAL RADARS INDICATED
AN INCREASE IN TSTM DEVELOPMENT SINCE 2145Z. THIS ACTIVITY IS
DEVELOPING WITHIN THE SRN EXTENT OF A STRENGTHENING DRY LINE BENEATH
STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT SPREADING ENEWD INTO MUCH OF W TX AT THIS
TIME. IN ADDITION STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS OVER SW TX /AROUND
MAF/ AND AXIS EXTENDING NWD INTO TX/OK PANHANDLES WILL CONTINUE TO
AID IN BACKED S/SELY WINDS ALONG AND E OF THE DRY LINE IN RESPONSE
TO ISALLOBARIC FORCING. THESE WINDS WILL SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN LOW
LEVEL HODOGRAPH CURVATURE AND THE ATTENDANT THREAT FOR TORNADOES.
ONGOING ACTIVITY OVER DAWSON TO MIDLAND COUNTIES TX WILL TRACK NNEWD
INTO SRN EXTENT OF WW . IF OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST A GREATER SWD
DEVELOPMENT...THEN A NEW WW WOULD BE NEEDED.
