Sounds like it'll be a busy day.

Wish I could be there.

Stay safe!

we've got rotation! NW of your position...watch the sky!

Posted By Cors | April 24, 2007 @ 11:12 AM #

That's right! it's incredible how it blew up (SW oops)

Posted By Heidi | April 24, 2007 @ 11:15 AM #

Hey, could anyone who already has GRLevelX radar tell me if the download takes a long time & if it slows down other stuff on your machine? Or anything else relevant. I want to download it asap but don't want to have my computer messed up for the rest of the day, especially not on a day like this. Thanks.

Posted By Connor | April 24, 2007 @ 11:22 AM #

Heidi I haven't had any problems with it slowing down my computer, and it downloaded in seconds for me.

Posted By Heidi | April 24, 2007 @ 11:28 AM #

Connor, do you have Level 2, Level 3 or Analyst?

That cell sw of OKC is moving pretty quick.

Posted By robbie | April 24, 2007 @ 11:35 AM #

Heidi, I downloaded level 3 on Sunday, and I love it so far, haven't noticed any slowdown.

The cells seem to be taking a more linear shape, when should we expect them to become supercellular?

Well im on stormlab and we have a possible tornado forming NW of Throckmorton Tx shows a very intense storm moving NE towards Archer City

Posted By Heidi | April 24, 2007 @ 11:57 AM #

Here's the link for GRLevelX. I misspoke a sec ago - I'll get level 3, not 2, cause 2 is just archival data & 3 is live.

This is what Reed uses, if i am not mistaken.

Posted By Jeri | April 24, 2007 @ 12:04 PM #

Wow, didn't take long for that line to fire up... 0_0 I see that Reed and everyone are heading that way now so hopefuly they will catch the storms enough to see some good tornadoes.

Are you going to head to TX to see about the storms there, Reed? Or stay around OK City?

Posted By Connor | April 24, 2007 @ 12:27 PM #

Anyone know how dfw is looking now? weather.com has lowered precip chance from 60 to 40 percent

Posted By Heidi | April 24, 2007 @ 12:39 PM #

oops, I guess i didn't answer you, Cors. Level 2 is archived data only, as far as I can tell.

Posted By Jayson | April 24, 2007 @ 12:58 PM #

How do I make it live? It's taking 5 minutes to update.

Posted By Heidi | April 24, 2007 @ 1:28 PM #

I am not sure about either of those questions; i just downloaded mine. But I do know that they have some kind of help desk thing, which I think you can access at the main website for GRX. I am not sure that you can do 3D with level 3, though.

Posted By Jayson | April 24, 2007 @ 1:40 PM #

I figured it out, the GR2Analyst is the input from the GRLevel output. You can then take that and turn it into a 3d image. This software is pretty cool.

With these guys being in KS, I hope they make it in time, those storms in OK are really brewing up.

Man this stuff gets my blood pumping, I would love to be a storm chaser.

Love the site guys, keep up the good work and be careful.

Posted By Jayson | April 24, 2007 @ 1:48 PM #

It seems as if they're driving away from OK, any reason?

Posted By David Reimer | April 24, 2007 @ 1:54 PM #

OH SHOOT, I had the tornado warned cell maybe moving at me! This isnt good.

Posted By Jeri | April 24, 2007 @ 2:07 PM #

Tornado warnings right near Dallas/Ft. Worth area! Looks like the line is picking up a little bit more down there.

Then again, it's still early in the afternoon, I'm thinking the storms will really fire up in eastern OK, KS, TX and points around there as the afternoon passes.

Probley better then here in the Ohio River Valley, there's a stationary front draped along the Ohio River basically, so it'll be mostly lines of drenching rain and storms for the next few days. Oh well, southeast of here has drought conditions anyway, so it will be useful.

Posted By Reed | April 24, 2007 @ 2:22 PM #

Joel and I are heading to KS for development in the next few hours along the dryline. We noticed the Ok storms were going linear, so we had to choose between chasing ahead of the line in ne TX or the dryline in KS where the atmosphere is untainted by linear convection....our friends are about to get on the storm northeast of Denton. Hopefully we didn't make the wrong decision...

With 2-3 times the low level fuel as compared to yesterday and a much better more profilic sheer profile it's going to be bad.
Scary thing is, it's only 2:43PM....

Posted By mandy | April 24, 2007 @ 2:48 PM #

Confirmed report of tornado touch down south of fort worth/ burleson near godley......this is going to be an interesting evening. If these storms get organized......(lighting strikes ignited gas well near godley) my mother is hiding in a shopping center with 100 other ppl right of 35 near Burleson. It's moving into grand prairie now.

Posted By AtmosphericWrath | April 24, 2007 @ 2:49 PM #

Appears to be by latest radar returns that cell is losing it's structure.
I could be wrong, but I think DFW is out of danger now.
I'm hoping so.

Posted By Gene Yates | April 24, 2007 @ 2:52 PM #

nope the radar is in Burleson so its looking threw the storm if you change radar sites its actually picking up strangth

Sitting here at home at Norman waiting to see if the dryline refires out in western Oklahoma... 4km WRF had supercells erupting along it around 0z and it is clear out to my west ATTM. We'll see...

Posted By Kenny Allen | April 24, 2007 @ 3:04 PM #

My chase partner is in Russel Kansas right now. We have a live camera feed going right now. Towering Cumulus, and the paramters are all centered right over him. It is looking like a good day for tornadic development.

Posted By Kenny Allen | April 24, 2007 @ 4:16 PM #

Looks like Reed is in almost the same position as my chase partner Kory Hartman. He is on 282 North of Wilson, KS... new cell is really starting to build there.
Camera feed is still working.
