18 May 2019 – Northern Oklahoma Severe Storms

A day that met, but didn’t exceed expectations.  There was a good shot of storms over northwest Oklahoma and some were expected to rotate… but this was all in the wake of a morning convective complex which had a negative impact on the potential.

I drove northwest to Seiling and then played a cat and mouse game with a couple of storms.  The first developed in Dewey County south of Taloga.  After starting south toward it, another storm became severe north of Waynoka.  I made it nearly back to Waynoka when the Dewey County storm started looking better on radar.  Both of these storms were in reach – barely – and I drove north, south, and north again before settling on heading south for good and targeting the storm which by now was approaching Canton:

This storm exhibited beautiful structure for a good amount of time, but weakened as it approached Okeene.  After driving through the weakening hail core in Okeene, I started north toward Ringwood.  Storms to my northwest were starting to look better on radar by that time.  Arriving there, I found a nearly solid line of severe storms extending from just northwest to north.  There wasn’t anything particularly interesting about these storms that made me feel the need to get closer, so I used the chance to get the drone up:

7 May 2019 – Texas Panhandle/Western Oklahoma Supercells and Tornadoes

Thom and I headed west on I-40 just after 10 am.  We expected it to be a fast paced day… a lot of storm chasers… messy but numerous rotating storms… iffy road options… and were likely to come away with a couple of tornadoes that would be hard to photograph or not be photogenic.  We got almost exactly that on all of the above.

We stopped on the east side of Amarillo just before 2 pm and got fuel.  Storms were already developing to our north and northwest… some of which quickly became severe.  This activity was forming in very close proximity to cooler surface air and in fact, it was rather chilly where we were in eastern Amarillo when standing in the brisk wind.  I figured at this time that storms north of I-40 were not an option for us.  But given that we didn’t have other options at the time, we decided to wrap around to the north side of the city to see what a couple of the storms looked like.

We were not impressed.  They presented a ragged appearance suggesting that they were ingesting cool air and we made a quick turn south to go back to the southern side of Amarillo.  While headed that way, other storms started forming just to our south near Hereford and Happy.  We posted up about midway between Canyon and Amarillo around 2:45 pm to keep an eye on these.  Again, we were not impressed.  These storms exhibited skinny updrafts and had the potential to get into cooler air rather quickly.  Meanwhile, storms with more substance had been organizing a couple counties south of us near Olton.

After some head scratching, the decision was made about 3:20 pm to start south to the storms near Olton.  While heading south on I-27, several of the storms we had left in the Amarillo area became Tornado warned.  For a time it was looking like we had made a bad decision, but I haven’t seen anything that came from those to make me think that now.

We reached Happy at 3:45 pm, made a jog to the west and started south toward Edmondson.  We arrived in Edmondson with our target storm overhead and just south around 4:20 pm.  Hail started getting larger than quarters on the west side of town, so we moved east a couple of miles.  Not long after stopping, a weak tornado developed to our west:

This tornado lasted only a few seconds.  While weak, it became my first Hale County, Texas tornado.

It seemed like it was game on at this point, but tornado production ceased for a time.  We started back north on Highway 1424 (which we came south on), watching numerous areas of rotation along a north/south line of shear over our road.  Our heads were on a swivel and it seemed like a tornado could be produced at any point on our drift north – in just about any direction from us.

At 4:49 pm, we stopped to observe near the intersection of Highway 1424 and Highway 145.    Our worst decision of the day came a couple of minutes later.  Instead of taking 145 east to Kress, we decided to continue north on 1424.  We needed to go five miles to get to Highway 928 which would take us east to I-27.  The first three miles were fine.  Rotation seemed like it was in every direction and we could see some surging RFD winds approaching from the west, but hail size was small.  That quickly changed.  Our last couple of miles north and the first couple of miles east on 928 found us being hammered by golfball to tennis ball size hail.  There are a lot of new dents on the car and a pretty good smash on the drivers side of the windshield now.  To make matters worse, our visibility in heavy rain and hail kept us from seeing a large multiple vortex tornado that developed to our southeast.  When we came out of heavy precipitation just west of I-27, there was an area of extreme rotation at cloud base just to our north.  This is likely what had been the large tornado just a few minutes earlier.

We had just barely started north on I-27 when a cone tornado developed from the circulation.  Despite a quick stop, the cone closest to us had started disappearing when we could grab a couple of images (IPHONE):

It did appear that the tornado continued in some multiple vortex state for a couple of minutes while contrast became poor.

We made it a couple of miles east of Tulia at 5:33 pm when part of a large mesocyclone became exposed to the west northwest.  Despite the strong rotation and rising motion in this column, we never saw anything under it to suggest it was producing a tornado (IPHONE):

By 6 pm, the storm had made a complete transition to high precipitation with a deeply buried mesocyclone.  It was still a pretty storm and we took the time to get a couple more images… first from the DSLR:

And another about 20 minutes later (IPHONE):

These were taken between 5 and 10 miles east and northeast of Tulia.

We made our way north across the Palo Duro Canyon and entertained the thought of intercepting the storm again somewhere southeast of Goodnight.  On the way, we noticed a broken line of storms developing in the warm sector near and just west of the Oklahoma/Texas border.  We decided to refuel in Clarendon and make a run toward these new storms.

Our storm of interest was located between Wellington and the state line as we approached Wellington at 7:43 pm.  Rotation started increasing in it despite becoming more of a north/south line segment.  We drove to Highway 30 in Oklahoma and started north.  We stopped at 8:08 pm several miles south southwest of Erick and observed a tornado for several minutes that was located about 11 miles southwest of Erick.  It was nearing sunset and darkness from the storms made things worse.  We only came away with a few IPHONE images from this event:

 

 

 

5 May 2019 – Texas Panhandle Supercells

Supercell northwest of Miami, TX just before 8 pm

Doug and I drove west northwest to Canadian, TX and then moved up to just south of Spearman.  There we took the time to observe a weakening storm to the north displaying some heavy mammatus:

Just before 7 pm, a storm started becoming more organized near us and an elongated area of shear developed just to our northwest:

In the above photo, the rain shaft on the left was a rapidly developing severe storm that was approaching from northern Hutchinson County.  With limited road options, we made a move east and south into northern Roberts County.  For a considerable amount of time, we were able to watch the fairly slow evolution/dance of a cluster of supercells to our north and northwest.  Several of these showed signs of rotation at times and even displayed funnel looking features.

At 8:28 pm, we believe it came the closest to producing a tornado.  The feature we were looking at was many miles away and there was no way to tell how close it came:

We ended the night attempting to get out of the way of the consolidated storm as it moved southeast toward Miami.  Unfortunately, we were blocked by a stopped train in town and had to take shelter from hail under a tree.  We anticipated hail larger than golfballs, but only saw about quarter size.

 

30 April 2019 – Severe Storms Southwestern Oklahoma

Probably one of the more uninteresting chases I have been on in awhile.  I drove south on Highway 81 to Marlow and then ended up working back west and southwest checking out mostly wet storms that briefly showed signs of rotation before quickly weakening.  The image above is of the updraft region of a storm near Randlett before it too became disorganized.

Most of the day was spent in rain and poor visibility with storm structure in poor contrast.

17 April 2019 – Severe Storms Western Oklahoma

I got a late start on the day and didn’t leave until after 5:30 pm.  By then, several weak tornadoes had been produced by storms near the TX/W OK border.  I targeted one storm that moved northeast across Custer into southeast Dewey counties.  The storm had evolved into a rotating line segment and was rather uninteresting when I came across it.  The photos here were taken near Fay.

I did come across an old farmhouse that I will have to remember for future chases:

6 April 2019 – Central Oklahoma Non-Severe

A rather uneventful chase that resulted in quite a few miles making a big loop to the southwest, northwest and northeast of Okarche.  Several storms formed in an area of weak instability and modest low level shear.

My first attention was with storms that formed in Caddo County, but these struggled most of their life before weakening during the late afternoon.  A couple of storms showed a bit more life in Blaine County and I worked my way up through Watonga and Hitchcock observing these.  While they were able to maintain strength longer than most, there was very little structure of interest.

By late afternoon, storms started forming near I-35 from the Kansas border southward to just north of the OKC metro.  These were the strongest of the day but once again struggled to reach severe levels.  I stopped once to observe a storm near Perry that had a lowering on the flanking line, but little in the way of motion:

3 April 2019 – Harmon County Supercell

Simple.  Fun.  Thom and I had a fairly small target area over the southwest corner of the state and the atmosphere didn’t disappoint.  We started with a drive west to Shamrock, Texas and then south on Highway 83 to Highway 62 which led us back east into Oklahoma. While near that intersection, we watched a supercell storm gradually evolve out of a cluster of storms that formed near Memphis, Texas.

Environmental conditions favored very large hail production on the day, with only a low end chance at a tornado.   With this in mind, our plan was to stay out of the large hail – grab storm structure shots – and then drop in behind the storm to see what kind of hail we could find.  The plan worked perfectly and we didn’t become one of the many that spent the following day replacing car glass.

The supercell of interest had wonderful structure and moved at an easy to follow pace eastward across Harmon and Jackson counties.

It was after 7 pm when the storm reached the eastern side of Harmon County and we decided to let it pass us into Jackson County.  We had a north/south road that took us to Gould and we decided to use it in our hail search.

It didn’t take long to find large hail.  The swath of hail greater than 1.75″ was several miles wide.  However, our first stop was to check out wind damage that occurred 6.2 NM south of Gould:

It was at this location where we also measured hail to 2.28″:

At 2.7 NM south of Gould, we measured hail to 2.54″:

Finally, at 2.4 NM south of Gould, we measured hail to 3.20″ (just shy of the largest, 3.33″ that I’ve ever put a caliper to):

This also stands as the largest 2019 Oklahoma hailstone as of this writing.

Another thing of note.  For whatever reason, I had never documented severe size hail in Harmon County.  It was one of the more glaring holes in my chase logs:

I think we can fill that in now….

 

 

 

23 March 2019 – OKC Metro Supercell

Not the greatest setup with somewhat limited moisture, but shear was nice and there were constant signals in convective allowing models that late afternoon storms would form just southeast of Okarche.  Satellite imagery supported the idea and I started southeast on Highway 3 from town.

Large towering cumulus were observed at departure and within a few minutes, the first radar echoes started showing up.  Development was steady and the storms became severe just southeast of Piedmont.

My first stop was at Rockwell and the Kilpatrick Turnpike in north OKC, with a few of developing storms from southwest to north about 4:45 pm CDT:

By 5:30 pm, a supercell had evolved at the southern end of a short line segment and was tracking slowly eastward across southern Edmond and northern Oklahoma City.  Very large hail (2″) was falling across some heavily populated areas.  I made it a priority to not get caught in core and traffic, and moved east to just west of Jones.  At 5:33 pm I captured this image looking to the west northwest:

There was strong rotation at the time and I felt about 50/50 that a tornado could soon form, but it was going to be difficult to see as the storm had transitioned to the high precipitation end of the supercell spectrum.

Not long after the image was taken, the storm started to become disorganized.  It’s my believe that it began to ingest cool outflow – and less buoyant air from earlier storms over eastern Oklahoma.  I grabbed one more image near Jones before the storm became even more disorganized:

I rolled with the storm into Lincoln County before turning around near Meeker.

Not a horrible start to the 2019 season, but we have a lot of room for improvement!
