Chase 2010 - Day 15 Discussion

[Nick F]

Some cells popping up SE/E of Witchita Falls in Texas, struggling a bit though.

Nice tower going up to my WSW. Seems to be through the cap!!

I hope the action doesnt kick off too far west from the team - looks interesting on cam right now though

[Nick F]

Cell just popped up NW of Mangum or south of Sayre in far western OK, bit of a trek from the team.

Storm east of Wichita Falls seems to be getting its act together now, bit closer to the team.

[anvilhead]

as a laymans guess I'd say the cell to the west has more chance of riding the warm front (which looks to have retreated a bit) and producing a TN - just guessing though

Paul's just put together a briefing:

That cell to the NW certainly has potential at the moment but at around 70 mile away from the team a little out of reach.

[Gorky]

the cell I'm on is a beaut at the moment. I'm in sentinel watching it pass to west and north....

[Nick F]

Does look good on satellite, team on the move now.

Yes, the cell south of Sayre to the west of the team has much better environment to turn severe and perhaps produce a tornado. team now heading west through Lawton, some way to go to intercept, but fortunately storm motions alot slower than yesterday.

[Gorky]

Cell not looking too healthy right now

[anvilhead]

dryline retreating and warm front shifting northwards - I hope that cell is reachable to the north -
