Storm Chase April 30
🕑 Added 2024-04-30 16:46:52 +0000 UTCPlace your bets, A or B?
Today I'm embracing the southern end "B" in the SPC's 5% tornado risk...
I didn't consider the NE/IO play today largely because I can't make it there in time. After plowing over the branches chasing the large tornado near Madisonville Texas on Sunday I needed to take the WindBreaker in for a brake check. Here's that monster...
No idea when I'll get a break from chasing to edit the 3 straight days of tornado footage. And it ain't even May yet.
Good luck Cold Front Chasers

In decades perhaps.

Got a tiny saggy nipple far far away in south Kansas. Some pretty lightning afterward. Getting rested for tomorrow. It’s May!

I actually hope to hell Hank is not there. Looks like an El Reno-type nightmare storm.

Really nice tornado up north of Manhattan Kansas
Greg Rice
Confirmed tornado south of Cordell, OK. That’s on the southern edge of the 2% area too!

This year is quickly becoming one of the better ones we’ve seen in a while and it’s not even May yet

Altus, OK for 400 Hank. Anyone have Southwest OK? Radar looks interesting.

Looks like A is firing up early but I bet B will fire up later in the day.

I'm going with B. Prog charts show the cold front moving slowly and the upper level winds more favorable
Wendy Jay
The southern end of SPC's enhanced risk area moved northward, which doesn't bode well for B even though the tornado risk still looks the same.

Feel the southern end will be better anyway. Things will more likely be less linear and there is better moisture.
