CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO INITIATE BY 19-20Z THEN SPREAD EAST ALONG THE KS/NE BORDER REGION AS STRONG LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT SPREADS TOWARD THE MO VALLEY. NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS STRONGLY FAVOR SUPERCELLS WITH WIND PROFILES SUPPORTIVE OF TORNADOES. SOME CONSIDERATION WAS GIVEN TO INCREASING TORNADO PROBS ALONG THE NE/KS BORDER WHERE FAVORABLY BACKED LOW-LEVEL INFLOW WILL LIKELY ENHANCE SHEAR. OTHERWISE, VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS APPEAR POSSIBLE WITH THESE AFTERNOON STORMS.

I think I might target Beatrice. Not sure if it's too far south though
Avatar
Randy Cooper(St Joseph, MO) 09-Jun-20 09:04 AM
I’m thinking Belleville KS
Avatar
Payton (Lawrence, KS) 09-Jun-20 09:04 AM
For initiation?
I was looking at later hours so I should proably look closer to there

Should be fine
Couple holes in extreme northeast ks

Payton (Lawrence, KS) 09-Jun-20 09:41 AM
When I was up near the Marysville and Seneca area, I had issues. Those must be the holes then

I guess today is a day to go chasing. Looks like it will be one of the better setups this year.
Avatar
Payton (Lawrence, KS) 09-Jun-20 10:04 AM
@Jacob Punch (Kansas City) you chase.
I think I'll start out near Washington, KS and see what happens from there
Avatar
Grant Leighty (Kansas City, MO) 09-Jun-20 10:06 AM
That’s what I was thinking, between Washington and Marysville, KS.
Avatar
Randy Cooper(St Joseph, MO) 09-Jun-20 10:20 AM
Marysville to Belleville to start for me (edited)
Avatar
Jake Wallentine (Wichita, KS) 09-Jun-20 10:52 AM
Belleville would be a good start.

Randy Cooper(St Joseph, MO) 09-Jun-20 11:02 AM
Just hope I make it in time. Waiting for a buddy to meet me here. Hopefully be outta here and jetting west on 36 by noon-12:30

Same. I got my dad to come along but he's trying to finish stuff at home right now.
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 09-Jun-20 11:10 AM
a separate channel just for my triple point I'm so jelly
maryville is good, btu i'd prefer to stay on the nebraska side between beatrice and deshler
HRRR has multiple high UH cells in the 0-3KM range from SC NEB early around 3pm into the lincoln area by 6pm
SRH maximizes as we get towards 6-7pm, best change for tornadoes IMO, could be very messy as PWET is very high, expect HP monsters just like yesterday
Avatar
Payton (Lawrence, KS) 09-Jun-20 11:19 AM
Isn't initiation farther SW than beatrice? I think that's why I like the KS side to start with
Avatar
Jake Wallentine (Wichita, KS) 09-Jun-20 11:33 AM
HRRR showing a couple earlier cells firing closer to I80....then the rest of the show fires back SW on the KS side likely.
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 09-Jun-20 11:33 AM
If u believe HRRR, initiation will occur about 75mi west of Beatrice
In this triple point setup I expect some early pops near the TP. Then a ripcord working ESE
Cell motion rapid to the NNE with right Turner's bring the target cells once they deviate

Avatar
Jake Wallentine (Wichita, KS) 09-Jun-20 01:35 PM
Where at? I see fair weather cumulus on the warm side and overcast on the cool side. Nothing upper level to cause any issues yet.
Avatar
Payton (Lawrence, KS) 09-Jun-20 01:35 PM
The fair weather cumulus, just wanting there.to be as much heating as it can get
Avatar
Jake Wallentine (Wichita, KS) 09-Jun-20 01:37 PM
Gotcha. Ya, i doubt that hinders too much of the insolation.
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 09-Jun-20 01:42 PM
TD gaps are near 20F as highs get near 90/70
we need some clouds to keep from blowing our gaps
i'd like to see 85/70 ideally, keep LCL's around 1000

Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 09-Jun-20 02:07 PM
it's 93/71 here in papillion, well NE of the area of interest, so it's juicy out there for sure

maryville, belleville, hebron, beatrice would be my target area, i'm going for the N side

Payton (Lawrence, KS) 09-Jun-20 02:13 PM
En route to Belleville, still an hour and a half out.. may change from there

Not gonna go out?
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 09-Jun-20 02:40 PM
quite the frenetic forecast, feels like either a big day, or a bust, not sure of what failure modes are right now
we could get too much crapvection early, taht would hurt our prime time 6-8pm zone. or we could get an early bow-echo that just crushes the warm sector
Avatar
Jacob Punch (Kansas City) 09-Jun-20 02:41 PM
I’ll probably be leaving later. No point in leaving yet. No point in going all the way to ‘Maryville
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 09-Jun-20 02:42 PM
there will be good tor potential all the way to KC, depending on how this triple point zippers
Avatar
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 09-Jun-20 02:55 PM
lightnign just S of i-80 west of lincoln
cells forming are fairly tall, skinny, but appear to not be multi-cellular, could be a mini-supercell storm mode in that region
they appear to be elevated, but as they zipper south i expect surface based storms will form
Avatar
Jacob Punch (Kansas City) 09-Jun-20 03:00 PM
I’m just gonna wait. No point in going anywhere yet. I believe that the 10% will actually get moved further into NW MO and NE KS.

Well I mean it is a right split, I'm gonna give it a chance and see if it can deviate storm motion and ingest some more SRH and get going
also wondering if it's trying to ride that boundary (edited)
Avatar
Payton (Lawrence, KS) 09-Jun-20 05:17 PM
I'm not seeing anything promising yet

Some promising cells in KS, watching Eric Kelly on one, looks to have a good inflow tail going for it

Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 09-Jun-20 05:39 PM
Nebraska storms are a trap right now. KS cells are the hope
