22 June 2019 – Northwest Oklahoma Severe Storms

Kind of a ho-hum chase with regard to storm quality, but I did come across some interesting things.

First, I measured hail to 1.58″ in Amorita in Alfalfa County.  This was just about the only hail of the day reported in the state.  These storms moved quickly into Kansas and I stopped short of the border.  For the first time in my chase career, the year will end with me never crossing north of the Oklahoma/Kansas line.  My only venture outside of the state was into the Texas Panhandle and South Plains.

Storms did produce a considerable amount of lightning outside areas of heavy precipitation .  The image above is of a fire in uncut wheat about a mile east of Burlington.  Farmers, firefighters, and some green grass near structures did an excellent job in keeping this from being worse than it was.

Most of the storms had little in the way of photogenic qualities:

Near sunset, a soft crash with the drone occurred while trying to take an image of an old farm house.  The aircraft came in contact with a tree and took about a 20 foot fall into some tall grass without any significant damage.

Sunset that evening southeast of Waynoka.

And that’s just about how every chase season ends.  We close the book on 2019 – Season 38 with a grand total of 18 chase days between March 23 and June 22.  A total of eight tornadoes were observed on four different days.  Photogenic tornadoes were hard to come by, but significant tornadoes were observed near Mangum, OK on May 20th and near Lipscomb, TX on May 23.  The largest hail measured came on the first chase in April at 3.20″ just south of Gould, OK.

Pretty storm structure and good lightning was limited, with the best coming in association with the Putnam, OK storm on June 15th.

The drone proved its worth and demonstrated a lot of potential in the future.  Photos and video from the drone will weight heavy in an end of year video that I will be putting together over the coming weeks.

The total chase miles was 6,113 – slightly more than the last couple of years – but well below the average from 2013-2016.  Again, the limited miles was because so many chase opportunities presented themself close to home.  Of the 18 chases – 13 were confined to Oklahoma and  5 drifted into Texas.

Was nice to have Doug Speheger along for a chase again after missing all of 2018 with me.  Also my drivers Thom Yancey and Ray Walker did their usual excellent job and got us home safely.  Glad David Schweitzer was able to come along on the Mangum day – a great tornado event for him to catch.

I always mark the end of June as the end of the “storm chase season” and start of the “Oklahoma Summer Lightning Season” which will run from July 1 until – whenever the first fronts of fall arrive.  Hopefully there will be a lot of drone video to get up.  I never did an overnight chase this year and the budget remains for getting out at some point.  The current plan is for a period in August to get to the Southwest U.S. for the monsoon.

 

 

 

 

18 June 2019 – Northern Oklahoma Supercell

This chase turned a little longer than expected taking me up to Medford, Blackwell and Tonkawa.  I was able to observe a slow moving small supercell as it tracked from Grant into Kay counties.  It is likely that for some of its life, the storm produced greater than 2 inch diameter hail.

From southeast of Blackwell, I got a couple of images – one from the front of the storm and one from the back:

15 June 2019 – Supercell/Tornado near Putnam, OK

This was a short chase that led me north initially to Hennessey.  While there, I watched numerous weak storm attempts from just west to just east of the town.  Still, the better low level convergence seemed to be anchored about 50 miles to the west and southwest.  It was in this area (eastern Dewey, eastern Custer, western Blaine) counties that persistent towering cumulus were noted on satellite.

I made my way west to Okeene and then south to Hitchcock where I stopped for awhile and took time lapse images from the drone.  Storms were becoming steadily better organized to the west and southwest and I started toward Watonga.

Upon reaching Watonga, the first storm to become severe did so near Oakwood.  It was moving slowly north.  Other storms were forming south of the severe one and I took up a position about seven miles west of Watonga and got the drone up again.  I was able to catch several cloud to ground strikes from this spot – one at the top of this blog post.

Over the next hour or so, the southern end of these storms organized into a powerful southward moving supercell.  I moved slowly southwest through Fay and to near Thomas, making stops for pictures and time lapse.

Not long before this image was taken, a weak tornado occurred about three miles southeast of Putnam that I am able to show evidence of in time lapse video.
