May 12 Chase Target - throw a dart.
🕑 Added 2022-05-12 15:17:11 +0000 UTCThis 10% tornado outlook is different from ones storm chasers get anxious for. Rather than discreet supercells and their beautiful danger dangles, this outlook suggests tornado potential in embedded in messy surging squall lines. Generally these QLCS tornadoes (Quasi Linear Convective System) are random and transient EFO-1s and rarely stronger than EF2.
Rather than scampering through scary strong winds all day seeking random mesovortices, I think I’m going to target lightning and dung beetles in the tail end of the line where action might be a little slower for a tripod set up.
Here is the HRRR model and NamNest model outlooks for 6-7pm
Good luck messy madness chasers!

Anyone notice the 3 day outlook for NY. YEP that’s me. ENH Risk. I will be in this storm for sure.
Brenda
Amazingly, the storms went around Omaha. We had some wind - maybe 30-35 mph, but no damage. My kids in Sioux City, IA had very little damage as well.

Brenda, how did things turn out for you?

If you get a chance, you should visit Snake Discovery on the east side of Saint Paul.

Sirens also going off in Sioux City, IA. Tornado Warned storm is headed to SC.

Severe Thunderstorm Warnings just west of Omaha with strong line of straight line winds 70-80 mph. Could be near my house in 10-15 min. Also Tornado Warning roughly 60 miles northwest of Omaha.

That can be fun...dang, the radar and and the almost triple point dry line weirdness between Casper and Pierre...I love playing up there. I need out of my cage!

Maybe you’ll score something beautiful if SPC pans out.

Here's hoping you have a delightful day with the dung beetles. 💩😊 I'm sure they'd appreciate some more banana🍌.
