09april2009_moderateThe Storm Prediction Center has issued a moderate risk for parts of Southeast Kansas, Eastern Oklahoma, and extending into the Ozark Mountain Region overnight.  Low-level and deep layer shear is absolutely incredible, with 200-300 0-1 km helicity values across most of the uncapped warm sector east of the bulging dryline.  TVN is currently targeting Northeast Oklahoma just at the apex of the dryline bulge, where storms should have no problem at all moving off the dryline.  The only negative factor could be limited moisture, but dewpoints in the upper 50s should result in sufficiently low cloud bases and high instability for tornadic supercells.  Stay tuned to the live tracker page as this severe weather situation unfolds!!!

Hey SkyEyeJoe, now i havent got a web cam here but you have guessed the scene here perfectly.
There have been one or two shouts of "LOOK AT THIS !"
Okay perhaps a few more than that. Completely ruined her evenings tv ! Whoops.

David Drummond was certainly in the thick of it earlier.
Looked like pretty well continuous lightning to me.
All very exciting

Updraft,

I've described the scene perfectly because I almost live it exactly - only reversed. I'm sure my Mister would love a dollar for everytime I've hollered out something brilliant like, "Whoa! Look at that lowering they're heading for!" or..."Hey. Come and look at this - these guys are insane!"
And I greatly admire David Drummond's style of chasing. Stealthy.
I look forward to comparing more of our notes on the effects of our TVN addiction on our domestic lives.

David Drummond, Brian Emfinger, Wesley Luginbyhl and Verne Calson already have there streams up and running or have had them going. Most appear to be headed to NE Oklahoma and SE Kansas. There is still more streams to come so should be lots of options as to whom you want to watch this afternoon and evening.

I'm pretty pumped to watch the live streams this afternoon and evening from up here in North Bay Ontario, where there's still snow on the ground :). Good luck to all the teams chasing today, especially to TVN with the Dominator. Hope you see some incredible stuff today!

I wish they had sound on the video feed!

David Drummond is intercepting the Severe Warned cell near Arkansas City, KS right now. His feed is dominating!

Good luck today....Just watching the live stream from all the way over in the UK.
Been watching the storm chase 08 on discovery channel last night and all i can say is ... WOW.
 
 
+8 #18 tornadolover210 2009-04-09 08:36
Drummond's stream is looking really good. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it.
Season 3 of Storm Chasers is oficially getting started! I'm so excited that it's not even funny!
 
 
+2 #19 osok 2009-04-09 08:44
Is Reed having trouble with the dominator or are they just admiring its beauty? Hood was up, kinda has me worried
 
 
+3 #20 FinFan 2009-04-09 08:54
Looks like they are showing it off!
 
 
+5 #21 Thaimal 2009-04-09 08:56
Well, Reed looks like he's in good position. One of those cells looks to be heading straight for them, though it's kind of small. But yeah, a lot of people look like they're admiring it on their way through, lol.

I'M NOT TOO FAR FROM DRUMMONDS LOCATION (A LITTLE NORTH)
