Historic tornado outbreak expected today!

Those chase cams are amazing. I've watched wedge tornadoes on those last month in Kansas. All live.

The really GOOD thing about living in the middle of tornado alley is that we have some of the finest Meteorologists in the country right here in Wichita [including the quoted Mike Smith of his local Weatherdata company... Mike was a long-time local broadcaster before he went into his current venture].

This must be really SERIOUS: It's one thing to have our local TV weathermen repeating the warnings.... but radio DJ's are doing the same thing to get the word out.

Conditions are still stable [for now] here in SC Kansas.

I am in Eau Claire, WI. Any need to worry? It does look like we could possibly get hit. Nevermind I just looked it up. I am looking forward to some big time severe thunderstorms. They sure get my blood flowing.

[link to maestro.haarp.alaska.edu]

What is amazing, the jet stream is acting like April while the surface is acting like mid-June.

....we will see explosive thunderstorm development with storms becoming severe almost immediately. We will see large, damaging tornadoes developing with the potential for over 50 tornadoes the next 24 hours.

[link to www.accuweather.com]

I just talked to someone in Oklahoma and indeed they were commenting on the strange wind conditions, good luck out there ya'll!

After what we went through last night here right across the river from DC, I wish you all well. Try to lay low and be safe...this place wouldn't be the same without some of you crazies...lol. Seriously, be careful and stay safe gang.

Well, I am definitely going to take this much more seriously than I had anticipated.

I am preparing a spot in the basement right now for my family...unfortunately the storm is supposed to hit us (MN) in the middle of the night.

Which does NOT sound fun AT ALL.

I'm here in southern Minnesota...hubby is traveling and is
supposed to be back home late tonight...I told him to keep
tabs on the weather. I weeded my garden this afternoon
(no, I'm not posting pictures because compared to the Super Gardeners here, you'd probably laugh at mine) because it's supposed to rain for the next week...or a chance of rain anyway. Hope we don't get any damaging winds or hail...
I might check back if some bad stuff starts to happen around me. I'd better check for a flashlight and find the
radio in case I have to go downstairs....waiting for son to come home from school and daughter from her summer job.
Weather to the west of us...developing...for now it's just
in the low 70's and overcast.

You can see the "HARP" blast signature...

[link to www.livewxradar.com]

Its blowing like monika lewinski at a job interview here. It hasnt stopped for days.


It will be overcast wtih heavy dark clouds headed NE then will go clear to partly cloudy then go back to dark clouds. The north west top corner of oklahoma is in a tornado watch then you have the majority of oklahoma except the far eastern half in wind advisory.

I hope folks take head of this stuff, from what im reading these storms are moving pretty fast about a mile a minute. Add that to blowing up suddenly and we have very lifethreatning weather.
this year my wife made up a "bug out" bag. candles canned food, small toys for the kids extra batteries, ect. Its been very nice the 6 + times we've had to seek shelter, we just grab it as we head out the door with one hand and were GTG and safe.

I suggest folks do the same, cause it dont look like their will be alot of advanced warning when these DO touch down. Im looking at the national weather and the storms for oklahoma are just now starting to blow up from nothing in the top western portion.

swear to god i watched a "double line" radar signiture go out from alfalfa county area and radiate gradualy growing bigging into a storm's heart then out the other side . looking like a wedge persay, last month.


the storm after it"was hit" then Buldged outwards and started outracing the rest of it. was strange strange strange. the wethermen were even making comments on how weird the buldge was.


======
on the bug out bag part.

look into getting a UPS

like these

[link to www.tigerdirect.com]

they will keep your systems alot safer and provide power back up systems to check on storms for when the power goes out.

the whle storm looks like a mushroom cloud when you look at the whole thing

Its rolling over and under at the tops while rushing up the middle expanding sideways.

weirdest thing to me lately is that all these strong storms seem to have that "hurricane-look" to them. used to it seemed like the only storms that produced tornados around here were squall line storms that moved east/northeast. these damn things are always twirling counter clockwise.

Good post. Living in SW MO the locals have been saying nothing to worry about until tommorow morning. Looking at the radar this afternoon I would agree that these storms are firing up quick and moving fast as hell. I am going to guess they will be here sooner but hopefully with a little less punch.

Check the stats. Looks like 2008 is going to be a busy year.

BTW, My dad always told me we could never have a tornado here where I live. Said the Chamber of Commerce wouldn't let nothing is this town.

....a major outbreak of long-track tornadoes that will continue into the overnight hours.

A number of major cities, including Wichita, Kansas City, Omaha, Des Moines and Minneapolis-St. Paul could be in the path of the destructive storms.

As the evening progresses, however, the supercells will merge with lines of thunderstorms capable of producing 100 mile-an-hour winds.
"The winds aloft are so strong and moving so fast... even a severe thunderstorm by definition will be potentially very damaging," he said.

The supercell thunderstorms later today can be expected to yield "strong.... long-track tornadoes.

the American Red Cross is urging Kansans to prepare for the worst. [link to www.kansas.com]

....predicts "a few strong to violent long-lived tornadoes later this evening...." [link to www.kansas.com]

Forecasters said the Midwest and the Great Plans could face a series of storms Thursday as devastating as those on a deadly day in 1974 when 39 tornadoes touched down.

Computer forecasting models for Thursday resembled those on June 8, 1974, when the tornadoes in the southern Plains killed 22 people.

On Tuesday, the National Weather Service took the unusual step of giving advance warning of a possible tornado outbreak based on the conditions.

In a strongly worded statement Thursday, the weather service warned that parts of Kansas could suffer hail bigger than baseballs, 80-mph-plus winds and "a few strong to violent long-lived tornadoes." [link to ap.google.com]

Forecasters have warned of the threat for days, and many have drawn comparisons to an outbreak on June 8, 1974, that spawned 39 tornadoes in the southern Plains and killed 22 people.

The weather charts from Wednesday and from the day before the 1974 outbreak are remarkably similar, Smith said. If anything, today’s system appears to be stronger.

Upper-level winds will push along any tornadoes much faster than normal, he said. [link to www.kansascity.com]

This has already been a very active year for tornadoes. Experts say 2008 could be a record year, and the pace is already well above the 10-year average for the U.S.

man im watching my 4 warn radar and a small storm near elk city ( middle of western oklahoma)popped up and is almost at kansas before the loops thru. jesus these things amoving fast.

Thanks for the well wishes.

But the world is a pretty big place, and the chances of any tornado impacting anyone reading this forum is slim to none.

So you only care about the people reading this?

Even if a tornado doesn't hit, the severa thunderstorms will impact many, including myself.

lol man how many folks that live from texas to northdakoa and near such d oyou think read this... me i look at the site tracker and see many.

when you consider a path from the bottom of the US to the top.... id say a few.

this isnt just a single storm. Im looking at radar and their was one storm in oklahoma very small. before the loops done its covering counties. their blowing up FAST

IF one person is protected and stays alive or saves others by being forewarned of these... is well worth it.

Actually the United States is a very small place. And it could impact crops. They are reporting 3 inch to "bigger than" baseball sized hail.
