Radar Update 20Z Central Plains Sector <----------Edited, the old image I had with the watch box was actually a 21Z image

21Z Info will be released tomorrow morning, and 23Z tomorrow afternoon. Results will be given late Sunday, or early Monday. . .

 

[Marc Austin]

Well, was headed for Wichita, KS along 54 with an estimated arrival time of 22z. Will continue west on 54 and drop south to intercept storm SW of Chanute, KS. This one looks really promising!

 

[Derek Weston]

Probably not too far west from that cell south of Selina. That's where I'd be headed right now.

 

[Jim Tang]

Eh, I think I know this date.

 

[Corey Sloan]

Adjusted target: Hiawatha, KS Will see what the 21Z data shows and readjust from there, if needed.

EDIT: Looked at the map a little closer and did not like my road options in Hiawatha, KS...moving a little further west and positioning near Fairview, KS

 

[Michael O'Keeffe]

Going to jump on the tail-end supercell flying NE from Osage County, OK. Looks pretty intense!

 

[Paul Austin]

20z:

I'll start out on Moline, KS....

Judging from the watch box radar image, I picked a pretty good starting point, although initiation was further sw in OK.

I likely would have pursued the cell I was just south of near McPherson up toward Salina, KS. I'd like to claim I would have held out for the more se KS action, but unless that c KS cell was just a low vis or outflow dominant mess, I probably would have stayed on it northward. It was more the sure thing. Helicity is likely a little better up that way, anyway.

 

[Brian Stertz]

Got a couple of developing supercells coming up at me at 21z. Just will wait and see which one becomes the best established. They should be moving very quick so will not over commit ...and will hold here in Marysville KS.

 

[David Wolfson]

Storms didn't seem to be going crazy south of me as I crossed the KS border at about 20Z, so I stopped in Marysville for the 20:15Z data to decide whether I really wanted to jog east or continue on south. Based on the radar and satellite, the tail storm somewhere southwest of Salina is still organizing and hasn't begun to move much north or east yet. So my revised 21Z target is at the junction about five miles south of Randolph, KS, where there are maximum route options.

I did get a glimpse of the 21Z radar that was put up by mistake, so I can only say I think I would do this, because I'd definitely do this, after seeing the radar.

 

[Leah Robertson]

Lol, I recall this event and the reason why it's so fresh in my mind is because I thought this day would make a great chase case. Glad to see this date was chosen. =)

 

[Verne Carlson]

I don't recognize the date yet so I'm going to jump on the cell coming up towards Salina, KS - an easy catch from Concordia

 

[Bob Hartig]

Blecchh. I think I need to bite. I've spent too much time up in Nebraska waiting when the action is happening down in Kansas. I'm dropping down toward Mankato, roughly an hour's drive, to intercept the northernmost cell.

 

[Andrea Griffa]

I'm in Harper,Ks and I don't like the merging cells my north...I'm hanging around here and see what happen.

 

[Ted Keller]

Jumpin' in real late here...

I probably would have headed to ICT and then started moving NW. Would be nice to daisy-chain this to the ESE if you started in the correct position WNW of ICT.

 

[Josh Richardson]

Well I have to drive south out of Beatrice into KS and wait and see which one of these cells I "can" catch now with their northeastward progression. I should still have time for something but will see by the next update where I am and where the cells are at.
