Tornadoes are very likely in southeast KS tomorrow ahead of a surface low and under VERY cold 500 mb temps of < 25 deg C! Dewpoints will surge into the mid-50s in this area, and CAPEs will be as high as 1500 J/kg! It looks like an early show for this area, with tornadic supercells developing as early as 17z. Stay tuned for further updates...we will definitely be chasing tomorrow!
Below is a picture I took with the new Nikon D-200 of the supercell that dropped the tornado near Mcclean, TX. Unfortunately, we left this storm when it appeared to weaken significantly visually and on radar, and a storm to the south was strengthening rapidly and showing STRONG rotation on radar. Just east of the wall cloud of this second cell, we experienced 50+ mph inflow and near golfball size hail. A tornado was reported 5 minutes prior to our intercept!
