Chase 2010 - Day 5 Discussion

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Feeling the anticipation just sitting in my front room!

Same here, wish I was there but watching the stream is the next best thing.

Even had some KLF on to get in the mood, loved that in the car last year, good chase music.

Good luck!

Cells are going up at the AR/LA border right now. I imagine these will strengthen as they move NE and be the storms you'll be chasing in an hour or two! Are you going to try and intercept if they do form to the south, or play the waiting game in decent terrain?

Have about 50 Miles to play with to our South so can drop down a bit, they are on a trajectory towards us atm.

Temp is 86f Dewpoint is 75f here atm

A quite a few cells now going up in AR so looks like the cap has just about totally eroded away, should see a large majority of them go severe within the next hour or so, its just like a ticking timebomb really, waiting for it all to explode, which given the parameters, is just what will likely happen!

Stay safe guys and good luck!

[John Hanrahan]

Wanna keep close to Stutgartt for good road options - have to keep north of river

[Gorky]

Two Tor warned cells down south. Heading your way. One warned with a forward speed of 70mph!

Cell just gone up SW of Pine Bluff and is already showing signs of rotation... That one will be heading right your way, probably within 45 mins or so at it's current speed

Pretty much every storm is starting to show couplets getting there act together. I think we are in for an absolutely mental evening....

[pottyprof]

I'd be dropping south east a touch.. Might open up a couple of windows..

[user700]

Wow all these storms look like they are rotating

[Gorky]

Wow!

Take your pick Guys!

Hook really ramping up on the storm near Pine Bluff. Should be heading across towards and just west of Stuttgart quickly...

Pine Bluff Storm!

[user700]

Think that may have been another tornado

They have video of a distant tornado the last time they stopped - Andy got it apparently.

[Gorky]

They are in perfect position for this storm. Track takes it over their heads... (maybe it's not quite perfect then!)

The next storm due south has had a big couplet for a long time. Wonder if they'll drop down the north side of the river for an intercept on that after this storm passes, or if they'll play catchup on the current one.

[Paul]

Crazy lightning on the stream now....

[BornFromTheVoid]

Some of those lightening bolts getting pretty damn close!

[pottyprof]

yeah yeah.. set of wusses.. jump in the car when the sparks are close..

[Ross B]

Loving this

A few of the guys on chasertv had a lowering on video so may be worth keeping one eye on that as well. I've got about 15 streams up watching this!

Think I would have dived back in the car to after that bolt...................amazing stuff

[Marcus_surfer]

Holy god that was close!

[pottyprof]

That was just fantastic... doesn't get better than that really.. lol

[Paul]

Don't forget - anyone wants to experience this stuff for real, we still have 1 space on tour 3 + the potential to add an extra 3 places on tour 4 if needed.... Let me know if you're interested! (Plus if we can get the extra vehicle on tour 4 I get to go out there to drive it, so get booking )

[dallas]

Holy god that was close!

Hope they got some audio with that!

[kold weather]

I'm really liking the cell that has just passed by Warren and the cell behind it as well, they are really ramping up and wouldn't surprise me to see a big tornado come out of one of those two in the next 20-30mins or so.

All I can say is thanks NW and the chasing team, I've never felt so enfused about tornadoes/supercells before!!!
