RE: Supercells in Australia herald storm season

2008-10-08T10:56:41-05:00

Hi Mike, thank you for posting! This supercell had an amazing structure: [url]http://www.australiasevereweather.com/forum/index.php?topic=926.msg8460#msg8460[/url] . Awesome! This year I missed a beautiful LP-Supercell in my area. I was on it, but in an unfavourable position with no chance for repositioning. Another chaser was luckier and took these photos: [url]http://www.wzforum.de/forum2/read.php?8,1352836,1352836#msg-1352836[/url] . Best wishes, Volker

RE: Supercell clouds with thunderstorms?

2008-10-08T04:20:46-05:00

Difficult to tell that far away, even severe thunderstorms take on supercell like structure albeit their 'classic' shape. If you could get hold of some radar images or sat pics that might help?

That would be great! Though, I doubt I'll be doing any mobile spotting any time soon. Need a new car and a job. :( Hopefully, I can be out there next spring. :D

PROBE ideas and weight

2008-10-07T19:16:58-05:00

I need some ideas for a probe and how much weight to put on it.I already got the weather station so I just need the shape,size,and weight.My main focus on the probe is to record pressure and wind inside the twister.

Just got back from it a couple hours ago. It was 3 hours long and the presenter was the one you had Heidi, John Robinson. I think he was everyone's as we watched him from a teleconference. Overall, it was pretty well done. I pretty much knew everything he covered though since I already read through the guides. There wasn't a test or anything. We go a handout with 4 pages stapled together that had us fill out some info and some questions that we answered together. He also showed us a couple videos of tornadoes and hail. One was a tornado from April 2, 2006 (if the police camera was accurate) and a hail video. Can't remember when that one was from. They're having a ham radio class October 19....I'm thinking about going to that on.

Oct 11 and 12 Severe Weather

2008-10-07T05:43:49-05:00

The GFS has been teasing us on the past few runs by showing potential setup and taking it away the next run. The 0z run tonight brought it back and looks really nice for the panhandle region for next Saturday and Sunday. Both days look pretty good but Saturday is lacking good dew points. Sunday looks good all around though with solid 60 DPs. Instability doesnt look very strong currently, but I would expect it to go up with futures runs if the models continue showing this potential setup. There really are no big flaws with Sundays setup, which would be a much better day to chase than Saturday (OU/TX game).

Here are the [url=http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/today.html]SPC storm reports[/url] for today. It seemed that there were a good many false reports this afternoon and possibly this evening as well, so it is hard to know what is real and what isn't. (I hope the fakers realize that it is (apparently) a federal offense to do that.) Interesting that there was no weather watch associated with the cells in TX, regardless. The line of non-severe storms moving through Arkansas has prompted severa [url=http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=lzk&wwa=flash%20flood%20warning] flash flood warnings[/url] this evening.

Supercell clouds with thunderstorms?

2008-10-06T17:53:08-05:00

Hi. Found this picture on my flash drive and thought hey why not share it with you guys. Took this back in May in Southern Minnesota. We had been warned on the radio and news about strong to severe thunderstorms moving our way for the early evening time. We did get some good lightning that night and I believe but cant remember for sure if they mentioned this was a supercell. These clouds got bigger as the day went on.

RE: Prepare for a "numbing winter"....

2008-10-06T17:30:34-05:00

And lucky me gets to live in Minnesota. I hate the MN winters. I love the Autumn and some cooler days in the summer, but winter here is brutal. God help the poor souls who live in Alaska and Canada.

Thought I would share these pictures that i took back in febuary this year. We had the temps drop to about minus 20 and then we got hit with these Artic winds. Terribly cold and we could not see more than maybe 20 feet.
