    Not quite accurate, but they're fairly big lightning rods! (but not designed as such!)
  2. Dan the Man
    Gust front going through Canterbury? The players have to come off here - its dangerous out there, without lightning hit yet.
  3. Dan the Man
    Not just a mothership, its a "Big Momma" Ship.
  4. Dan the Man
    My goodness, look at that at Canterbury!

    Now a derecho is a real humdinger. But they need to travel 200 miles (am I correct?) to be classed as one.
  6. Dan the Man
    Would the MO ever release a tornado warning if the conditions occurred?
  7. Dan the Man
    Morning all, Can I call today Day 1 of EL APOCALYPTO?
  8. Dan the Man
    Just had a look at the jet forecast - don't think there's much shear available, so any tornadic potential in these storms look limited. Straight line winds only it seems.
  9. Dan the Man
    What is the current jet stream / wind shear forecast? Obviously that will have a big factor in the type and power of these storms.

    My apologies, however CAPE values in the 2000s+ are unlikely to materialise, especially in the areas predicted. That is not far from being "off the charts"; conditions that would spawn a severe thunderstorm outbreak and possibly strong tornadic activity. Having just been on the other side of the world (and "fortunate" enough to have had a tornado warning) in conditions are far more likely, its still extremely hard to pin down severity until about 24-48 hours before and even then there are downgrades. That said, values around half that would provide quite a lively light show anyway.

    That is something I've never seen before. Not sure how they can predict something like that though.
  12. Dan the Man
    Perhaps my area is a good one to be in this afternoon?
  13. Dan the Man
    Its suddenly turned into 10pm outside. Gone very dark.
  14. Dan the Man
    Well I've just lost my TV signal... something imminent? Within 5 seconds I get lightning!
  15. Dan the Man
    In comparison, the 'derecho' storm that hit the Midwest USA last week produced only 13,000 in a longer timescale, across a similar area.
  16. Dan the Man
    Dont think theres any tornadic potential with this? No shear just straight line (probably damaging) winds and large hail, caused by the jet.
  17. Dan the Man
    That same dangerous bow echo that started in Denver, has now travelled 1000 miles - now down in N Alabama. Incredible.
  18. Dan the Man
    My area had a tornado warning about 3:30 today - quite a surreal situation, something I've never experienced before. The eventual funnel hit a school about 15 miles away.
  19. Dan the Man
    1300 strikes of lightning so far in the severe t-storm warning area.
  20. Dan the Man
    Just watching TWC's coverage - Omaha is totally hidden in a wall cloud.
  21. Dan the Man
    Omaha NE is probably not a bad place to be. CAPE going off the charts, around 1500-3000. TORCON of a SEVEN. Wow. Seriously dangerous day ahead - stay safe folks.
  22. Dan the Man
    "Significant" tornadic activity for the Midwest tomorrow
  23. Dan the Man
    Looks like a severe outbreak to hit the Midwest around Sunday onwards - steadily moving eastwards across the early part of next week. Detail still a bit patchy however.
  24. Dan the Man
    Tornado warning for SW of the Houston Metro area.
  25. Dan the Man
    Sunday-Monday onwards, looks to be the next 'severe' event after today.
