6-3 Weather Thread-Long track tornadoes?

[CarolinaCy]

So there's a 60% chance it will be windy in southern Iowa? Bold prediction.

Wind probability? I can say with certainty, that Iowa is always in a state of 100% chance of wind. :twitcy:

Land Hurricane?

My first thought was hearing a knock at the door later.
"Who is it?"
"Land Shark"

I'm shocked they haven't gone ahead and issued a PDS.

Baseball sized hail reported in Norfolk, NE

Please be careful this evening and take all warnings seriously. This is a very dangerous severe weather setup this evening.

One storm to watch is that linear devil about to hit north Omaha. This type of storm usually ends up being long lived (stretching across multiple states). It is producing baseball size hail and 80 mph winds moving SE.

1st Line: Position by 5:20
2nd Line: Position by 6:20
3rd Line: Position by 7:20

Also there are other supercells in SW Iowa to watch. If they latch on to the warm front they could quickly become tornadic. That southern-most cell is producing 2" hail right now too.

Guess who works outside from 6-10 tonight

What's the current ETA of things getting fired up in the DSM metro?

Baseball sized hail just missed me, got pea to nickel sized where I am, so no damage (so far)

Storm that just passed through the Omaha metro triggered a tornado warning in Eastern Pott County :wideeyed:

Typically don't watch any of the Weather Channel, but they've got some fantastic coverage going of the Omaha system. Sounds like the airport was on lockdown. It'd be quite something for people passing through Omaha who've never witnessed severe thunderstorms.

Ummmm...not me?

I actually called a buddy of mine that works in north Omaha to get the heck out of there. Glad he took the advice.

I've seen numerous reports of severe home damage/tree damage and pingpong to softball size hail in and around the Omaha area.

Now this storm is kicking just like an engine, trying to spin up tornadoes in SW IA.

Part of the area (including Des Moines) has actually been upgraded to a high risk due to the likelihood of very high winds with intensifying system (bowing segment) moving out of nebraska right now.

edit: looks like MNCYWX beat me to it

This tells me that Ames is finished tonight.

 

[CascadeClone]

Lol. Can we call it a Summer Vortex?

CYCLONE!!

Godspeed.

 

[CyBroncos]

It looks like the major stuff is going to miss Des Moines to the south

Crazy, crazy hail damage in parts of Nebraska
