2018 Stormchasing season all platforms

[matty40s]

Everything seems to be waiting for Tour1 but there seems to be a good chance this week of things kicking off in the Midwest, quite a few chasers out yesterday and plenty more today.

Lovely conditions with a dry line from Nebraska/Iowa to Kansas hopefully giving isolated storms producing big hail and the odd tornado.

Tommorow looks even better.

MODERATE Risk issued both days now. 45% hatched tomorrow too now!

Tornado watches already in place

Jumped back to Bob Pack's live feed as the Carl hobi one is not reliable enough,cool mothership type cloud on there but the T-warned cell is no more,maybe re-cycling.

So, I feel asleep when the magic happened, woke up this morning and saw Twitter lighting up with videos from near Tescott, KS, Culver, KS and some near Bennington, KS. One looked scarily like that wedge that happened near Chapman, KS on 25th May 2016. Good to see no reports of any injuries too! #LoveKansas

We should see plenty of chaser activity today - another Moderate risk day with the Amarillo to Kansas area in the most likely risk zone.

Very large hail and tornados expected.

 

NOAA saying sever potential possible...

Arnett, OK. The 283 corridor maxed out for tor potential this afternoon.

Glad youve popped in at last Neil, I have learnt quite a bit from you in the last few years.

[MikeUpjohn]

Why is this not happening on a Friday night. 0800 start tomorrow, so hope to see the first few hours tonight before getting some kip! Second MODERATE Risk back to back. Wonder when that last happened?

Tony Laubach's stream right now is stunning if anyone is around - https://livestormchasing.com/map
