Fantasy Storm Chase update 4:45 pm...from my arm chair in Birmingham...
Positioned near Delavan KS waiting on a storm coming up from the SW. This area features highest CAPEs, a dryline that is mixing east very rapidly and a 50 mph wind max at 500 mb. This storm has been organizing slowly.
Storm just to the NW of this one in Dickinson County KS has had a tornado warning on it, but has weakened a bit...
The first storm of the day in Brown County KS north of Topeka has been producing a large tornado for several minutes. It is east of Hiawatha KS at 445 pm. A large amount of debris was observed. I predict we will hear more about this tornado. It is about to move into Missouri...well north of Kansas City.
New tornado warning for Cotton County in SW OK. This is SE of Lawton. It will head toward Oklahoma City later.
