Expected Tornado Outbreak - April 27
Added 2024-04-27 14:14:15 +0000 UTCGood Morning Patrons,
Lots of swinging emotions to process. I hope everyone is safe and we didn't lose any loved ones. Things are firing up early today and I'm out of range a bit in Central Kansas. I'm going to blast south into Oklahoma and then do some misanalysis if time allows, however I'm anticipating jumping on the first Tornado warned cells I can reach.
I encourage chasers and myself to up the patience today. There will be a lot of emotional and distracted drivers out there.
Yesterday, strong wording by the SPC describing discrete supercells reined my into Kansas and Missouri. Though wrestling with roads and positioning I managed to confirm 4 tornadoes and many strong rainy circulations. I was tuned out of social media and just enjoyed a long day of chasing tornadoes that didn't appear to be killers. Here are a few video screen shots of my scores.
Good luck Chasers!
ABOVE: The funnel top left had a decent debris spin up. Count this as 2.
Would have been nice to be closer to those. below is my third obvious tornado. Would have been nice to be closer and not racing.
Got close to this next one...

2024-04-27 19:02:17 +0000 UTCHank, I’m torn between wishing you a productive chase and hoping that storms don’t blossom. I’ve decided to hope for beautiful low precipitation 🌪️ storms over farm fields. Watch out for maniacs on the road.
