Jeff House (Chattanooga, TN)06-Jul-21 03:30 PM
Friday is a chase day. Wake up and see where the boundaries are. Definitely a local chase day. Could be worth some travel. Esp if Sat is not too far from Fri and Sun is not too far from Sat. Sure there’s insta-line or insta-blob risk; however, in July one chases Friday.(edited)

In Nebraska, flash flood chases you.
I once was chasing and got 6" of rain in 30 mins. Proceeded to float my car down the road like a dumbass.
Some nice guys at the local Pakistani car dealership helped pull me out. Took about 3 hours to dry the exhaust to start

Don't worry, I'm considering it, mainly because it's July. and there's not going to be storms to chase until September/October

The thing is, I’m a teacher and am wanting to get more acquainted with summer setups up north, since I have June and July off

Actually, I'm in central Iowa this week. Hoping for some good weather
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)07-Jul-21 12:02 AM
Yeaaaaah 0z nam says we definitely chase.
Contammed, yea, but still.
GFS says you definitely chase too.
@Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) are you seeing the new model runs yet?
Shear vectors in the WS along with high Theta-E and PW values tell me our window of opportunity will be very short before it goes upscale, however it looks like the short time we have couple potentially be a great time. I’d like the LFCs to lower a bit though.
Eyeing a potential #chaseday in #newx and #iawx on Friday. The potential event has been trending for some time now, and cams are starting to really like a #tornado threat before quickly going linear in the evening. 00z NAM and GFS, as depicted below, agree in… (1/ ) #wxtwitter

Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)07-Jul-21 10:12 AM
Nothing good happens in Pilger
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)07-Jul-21 10:12 AM
I mean look at the forecast theta E ridge.
You chase the point of the ridge. Which is right over...
Tho it looks like it wants storms in NE on Thursday
Also, looks like my neck of the woods may have a chance on Saturday
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)07-Jul-21 11:00 AM
Yeah 12z really likes Iowa. Too far out to make any mesoscale accident forecasts at this point
But there could be a pretty big area of risk given multiple outflows and meso lows at play
MJO out of phase. No help there. But there is a solid vort max at 250 heading in. But it's position may favor Iowa. We'll see. Nam does like to be too fast on these setups
1
Jeff House (Chattanooga, TN)07-Jul-21 11:16 AM
Definitely a chase day. Quick blob risk? (Like the new blob emoji) Sure, but there's a window for real action too. Morning MCS lays boundaries under adequate shear and impressive instability.(edited)
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)07-Jul-21 04:58 PM
I hope 18z NAM is an outlier from a chaser perspective. It pretty much killed Friday entirely @Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)07-Jul-21 05:17 PM
Ah it may be because NAM is too progressive. We will see.
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)07-Jul-21 05:30 PM
I threw it out the window. This setup is just a novelty to me right now anyway. I won’t get too interested until tomorrow. But it sure would be nice to have a Friday night chase
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)07-Jul-21 05:45 PM
Never forecast a meso setup more than 48 hours out. I'll see what 00z says(edited)

Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)07-Jul-21 06:00 PM
Waiting for the 00z and 12z. I’d have to leave tomorrow afternoon because I’m not making a 7 hour drive in 1 day
Still leaning no right now.

Thursday thru Saturday could all go potentially
Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN)07-Jul-21 06:30 PM
I hate being at the tail end, cause it means a lot can happen to screw it up. Its kind of like all or nothing
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)07-Jul-21 06:30 PM
18z nam3km has the i80 corridor going apeshit after 7pm. But there is a ton of convection before that which should fire in the warm sector as well
It's a meso day. Chase the indexes not the cams.

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN)07-Jul-21 06:31 PM
NAM literally losses its mind with some of the SCP values in western NE. Almost 30 after dark, lol.
To anyone who may be chasing on Friday, or is even considering it, Royce and I are going to hold a public call tonight forecasting the event together. We will probably be in one of the voice channels here so if you want to join us please feel free to do so! The call will start at around 0200z or 0230z (3 hours from now).

The analog on that first sounding is Hallam-Wilber and the other one with another big day for NE/IA/SD.
@StormCoker But it's July, Matt. It's Iowa's time to shine.
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)08-Jul-21 05:10 AM
6z nam and nam3k say Lieowa but just east and south of Council Bluffs.
HRRR seems to agree and is trying to do the same but it slows down the system by a lot and is much more progressive with the impulse coming fron ND today, has that boundary clearing the WS mid day and the environment doesn’t recover until after sundown.
Or at least it doesn’t have this extent of thermodynamic conditions recovering.
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)08-Jul-21 05:41 AM
I just realized 06z suite lines up exactly with where the Spc put their 5% for D2.
And those model runs released nearly two hours after they released the outlook.
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)
SPC almost went 10sig already.
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)08-Jul-21 06:49 AM
It’s a typo, they meant 15% sig for wind/hail
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)08-Jul-21 07:09 AM
9z rap falling pretty much in line with 6z nam and nam3k. Lieowa E and SE of Council Bluffs.

Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)08-Jul-21 11:43 AM

Will say, there’s a good chance this absolutely busts.
Especially with morning convection keeping cloud cover around.
Tristan White (Hartselle, AL)08-Jul-21 12:18 PM

To
Lieowa
Actually Im gonna be honest, this setup does not impress me enough to go up to Iowa so im obviously sitting this one out.
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)08-Jul-21 12:19 PM
It’s not a bad set up. Strong NW flow which is unusual in July.
I just see a cap bust potential, or elevated junk due to cloud cover.
And for me, I have to leave today to be there tomorrow, because I’m not making a 7+ hour drive to the target day of.
Tristan White (Hartselle, AL)08-Jul-21 12:20 PM
Yeah CAP is whats making me less interested
Id rather focus on Tropical season now. Unless there is a big event.
12Z 3KNAM looks messy and MCS material.
I’ll pass
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)08-Jul-21 12:23 PM
12z 3KM does have the best environment in front of it.
Tristan White (Hartselle, AL)08-Jul-21 12:26 PM
4000-5000 CAPE, 70+ Dews. Definitely unstable. Storms that stay discrete will have plenty to work with but again I doubt discrete mode lasts long.
Mike Snyder (Seattle, WA)08-Jul-21 12:42 PM
Only needs to last for about an hour
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)08-Jul-21 12:45 PM
Just saw some left splits on nam3km running parallel to the front, could be the gravy zone. Would be more isolated and less upscale. SW IA into Nebraska def.
Id rather bust on blue sky than have to run from a upscale garbay

Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)08-Jul-21 12:49 PM
If you are local, you definitely chase, no doubt.
Those of us that have to travel, less certain. I’ll likely make a decision around 3, since it’s going to be 5 hours to KC for the night.
Unfortunately, this truly is a mesoscale day. You’re not going to know until the morning of, and what’s happening.
A few failure modes on the table but NAM sure is progging some of the more impressive NW flow soundings I've probably ever seen

Jeff House (Chattanooga, TN)08-Jul-21 02:21 PM
I figure SPC is not ready to place the 10% yet because we don’t know where the outflow boundary will settle. Barring a total rainout (not likely) maybe they drop the 10% at the 13Z or even 1630. Still won’t know at 06Z.
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)08-Jul-21 02:25 PM
Yeah.

Brennen Round (Chatfield, MN)08-Jul-21 02:39 PM
I don't particularly like the storm motion off the boundary, basically due paralleling it
I like that one 3cape vort max up by like Sac City though
guess it will be a real time forecasting situation
looks like a day where either your really far south or really far north
and in the inbetween is a big question mark

Jeff House (Chattanooga, TN)08-Jul-21 02:45 PM
Along a warm front our outflow boundary is acceptable, even favorable, Don’t want it to cross. Quite the opposite of a dry line situation where we want perpendicular off the DL. Wish I could be there!(edited)

There is a warm front and a surface low. Tons of moisture. Its a question of where the cloud breaks are and what the mesoscale environment looks like. My prediction is that there will be a tornado somewhere in the Midwest on Saturday. prove me wrong

Vince Waelti (Monroe, WI)09-Jul-21 12:06 PM
Clearing out nicely in Osceola. Getting hot enough that I'm looking for shade again. Wishing I went to western nebraska haha
Lucas Munzlinger (Dittmer,MO)09-Jul-21 12:20 PM
@Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) What’s your thoughts for Southeast Missouri? Looks like it has some potential!
I’m listening to the discussion
Vince Waelti (Monroe, WI)09-Jul-21 12:21 PM
How do I listen in on the discussion? I'm bored in a walmart parking lot

@Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) What’s your thoughts for Southeast Missouri? Looks like it has some potential!
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)09-Jul-21 12:26 PM
SE MO? MCS wind risk /w flooding chances
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 12:38 PM
Spc extending risk back to far western Iowa
Brennen Round (Chatfield, MN)09-Jul-21 01:19 PM
helluva profile for Des Moines, its on the cool side of the boundary but still pretty nasty
especially if your looking for sick structure
can reallyyy see the boundary looking at it from theta-e
We are at a gas station in pacific junction right now.
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 03:44 PM

Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 04:12 PM
OFB slowing down. Storm is dead as expected.
SPC update:
UNCERTAINTY REMAINS REGARDING THE TIMING OF REDEVELOPMENT ACROSS IA/MO LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING, BUT ANOTHER INTENSE CLUSTER IS EXPECTED TO EVENTUALLY DEVELOP AND MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD WITH TIME TONIGHT.

Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 04:18 PM
Eventually sometime in the future, Iowa will have its first tornado. Stay with news9, we’ll keep you advised.
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 04:32 PM
If I had to predict, my guess is storms will fire on and behind the OFB, but will get undercut by it, thus no tornado threat, but hail and winds. Likely southern Iowa, before moving into northern Missouri.(edited)
Brennen Round (Chatfield, MN)09-Jul-21 04:34 PM
5.7 LLLR's from latest Omaha sounding
Jim Martin (Findlay, Ohio)09-Jul-21 04:38 PM
not exactly the greatest there
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 04:40 PM
Yeah, that’s blue sky bust.
You need 101 degree temp to bust that.

Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 04:49 PM
Where we going to get the steak dinner @Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)/ @Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)?

Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)09-Jul-21 04:56 PM
Busting in liowa. Joy. Round the bend in south bend, Nebraska
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 04:57 PM
Leave it to the Lieowa area to have 6k surface based cape and nothing.
DMX says storms will fire, just after 00z.(edited)
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)09-Jul-21 05:04 PM
We are gonna sit here and wait...for a bit. Might move around a little
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 05:06 PM
I’m sitting near Nebraska city.
Grant Leighty (Kansas City, MO)09-Jul-21 05:14 PM
@Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK) you were right about Lieowa.
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 05:16 PM
Lieowa never fails. There will be storms late tonight, so Iowa will see rain.
Right now, I’m working a tan.
Jim Martin (Findlay, Ohio)09-Jul-21 05:19 PM
maybe initiation in southeast Nebraska near Beatrice and north of Manhattan KS?
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 05:20 PM
Anything in that area is elevated.
Jim Martin (Findlay, Ohio)09-Jul-21 05:20 PM
ah
ok
Grant Leighty (Kansas City, MO)09-Jul-21 05:24 PM
I say it’s steak time
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 05:26 PM
This was such a good warmup for the cold front shitshow at home tomorrow.
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 05:29 PM
I will say, farther east near Des Moines, the 700s should be a lot cooler than Omaha, but I don’t see forcing(edited)
Glen Heinz (Greenville, SC)09-Jul-21 05:30 PM
Not the only ones guys. Lots of others out there.
Glen Heinz (Greenville, SC)
Not the only ones guys. Lots of others out there.
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 05:30 PM
Definitely. Some have already packed and left. Lots still waiting.
Storms will fire, it just might be 10pm
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 05:31 PM
I’m just loitering. If you never go, you’ll never see
Glen Heinz (Greenville, SC)09-Jul-21 05:31 PM
yep, man this is like year of the bust. No offense guys. I feel ya.

hopefully you get a great Light and wind show later on?
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 05:33 PM
New storms east of Des Moines on the other gradient. Still cool side.
Willard (Madrid, IA)09-Jul-21 05:50 PM
I’m glad I caught that supercell near home earlier this afternoon because I’m thinking there’s not gonna be much here along the outflow boundary until after dark. I’m tempted to go home take a nap and do lightning ops after dark.
Glen Heinz (Greenville, SC)
yep, man this is like year of the bust. No offense guys. I feel ya.
Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN)09-Jul-21 05:51 PM
Truth right there! Its been a frustrating year for me. But I still have ended up with some great footage/time lapses. Its just all been just a few chases, and even those didn't feel always like total successes either.
We are closely watching the outflow boundary to the west of Des Moines for new thunderstorm development over the next few hours. If t-storms develop, severe weather is likely with hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes all possible. Stay tuned if you have outdoor plans. #iawx
TJ (Houston/Galveston TX)09-Jul-21 05:54 PM
I'm up in northern Iowa. Getting some fishing done. Great temps, mid sun. Great CU to my west. It's going to to be like pulling a magic rabbit out of a hat....backyard play if any(edited)
Kyle (Wayzata, MN)09-Jul-21 05:58 PM
If only that gravity wave would help kick some parcels up. Of course, seeing that gravity wave in the warm sector makes me think of a cap that refuses to break.(edited)
Drew Terril (Yukon, OK)09-Jul-21 06:02 PM
I'm picking up in Eau Claire. Hoping they have me rolling in a couple hours or so, but looks like I'll be keeping my head on a swivel tonight. Not so much concerned about the tor threat (I can drive around those) as I am wind in the big rig.
Yeah we are headed north from Villisca closer to the convergence zone along the interstate. I see an impulse coming from northeast Nebraska on satellite along that zone that I’m watching closely. Royce had car issues and had to drop back home so I am now with @Grant Leighty (Kansas City, MO)
Vince Waelti (Monroe, WI)09-Jul-21 07:34 PM
My disappointment is growing lol
I’m near winterset Iowa watching towers go up and die
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 07:36 PM
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)09-Jul-21 07:36 PM
Radiator leak. Burning antifreeze. Grounded for 2 weeks until I can get into shop
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 07:37 PM
They aren’t even talking about a watch. I’m sleeping in my own bed tonight boys
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)09-Jul-21 07:37 PM
The funny part is. The cap is gone. There is just zero forcinf
The warm front washed out and the shortwave dove into Wyoming instead
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 07:44 PM
Tornado warning for Nebraska.
As we stated this morning, panhandle was likely the best shot today.(edited)
Jacob Melton (Owosso, MI)09-Jul-21 07:45 PM

Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 07:45 PM
I am surprised they didn’t drop it to 2% at the last update.
Or just flipped it with the west target.
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)09-Jul-21 07:49 PM
They are still waiting for that ofb to go lol.
We are just going to keep being patient.
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 07:52 PM
To me though, that’s very conditional, which the SPC usually lowers everything on, since it’s so conditional.
That’s why I thought they’d lower it, due to uncertainty in storms.
FYI, I went back to my hotel, about 2 hours ago or so. Lol
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)09-Jul-21 07:57 PM
Lol
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 08:02 PM
Didn’t want to miss those free drink ticket I get for a clear sky. Plus, likely taking a nap to wake up to the line tonight to get some lightning photos.
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 08:03 PM
You aren’t going back to OKC? David and Mike are getting antsy about tomorrow
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 08:05 PM
Not tonight. I’ll head that way tomorrow
Probably will chase in northern ok
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)

Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)09-Jul-21 08:07 PM
Are you in KC?
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 08:07 PM
Yeah.
Main goal was southern Iowa today, to back to KC for the night, then head to OKC tomorrow, with maybe a pit stop in southern Ks/ northern OK, before getting home
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)09-Jul-21 08:09 PM
My backyard in Omaha. (Patio is warm when sun is on it)
Confirmed. I have radiator leak. Air bubbles making it overheat
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 08:13 PM
Oof, radiator bust on a blue sky bust. Terrible combo
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 08:13 PM
I’m just hoofing it back to Joplin tonight and will see what we have in the morning.
Sorry about the rain radiator. That blows, literally
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)09-Jul-21 08:21 PM
That sucks.
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)09-Jul-21 08:26 PM
On the plus side. Wife brought me home rocky mountain oysters from the steakhouse
Leaving Eau Claire in the big rig now. We'll see what I see in Lieowa after dark
TJ (Houston/Galveston TX)09-Jul-21 08:55 PM
See ya soon if you take HWY 18
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 08:56 PM

Nope. 94 to 35 and down

Kyle (Wayzata, MN)09-Jul-21 09:07 PM
Glad I stayed home. Actually overslept, but I was kinda hyped after last night's discussion.
Jim Martin (Findlay, Ohio)09-Jul-21 09:27 PM
storms starting to fire in south central Iowa
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 09:30 PM
Get after it guys, you just have around half an hour of ambient light left
Vince Waelti (Monroe, WI)09-Jul-21 09:32 PM
I don't have enough connection to upload, pic but the cell near osceola iowa has a nice base, but looks outflow-y

Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 09:33 PM
It’s on the cool side of the boundary.
Vince Waelti (Monroe, WI)09-Jul-21 09:34 PM
Yep. Pretty tho
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 09:34 PM
I couldn’t believe how bad my data was up there. Another reason I decided to cut my losses
Vince Waelti (Monroe, WI)09-Jul-21 09:35 PM
I have a bonded router with 3 carrier, so i typically don't have issues, but I'm only getting a weak ATT signal where i'm sitting to timelapse right now. kind of irritating
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 09:35 PM
I’m headed back out. At least I can get lightning.
Another 1.5 hour drive here we go
TJ (Houston/Galveston TX)09-Jul-21 09:51 PM
That SW Iowa cellular sucks. Lack of towers in the Amish areas
Nathan M (Neosho, Mo)09-Jul-21 10:18 PM
Finally a warning for that cell
Grant Leighty (Kansas City, MO)09-Jul-21 10:20 PM
With @Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL) eating cheap steaks at Red Robin after a blue sky bust. I hate Iowa now! LOL(edited)
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)09-Jul-21 10:20 PM
Lol Red Robin is awesome.
We may still head out to get the western stuff.
Some lightning at least.
Grant Leighty (Kansas City, MO)09-Jul-21 10:23 PM
Yeah in Nebraska, not Iowa.
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 11:11 PM
Lieowa
Jim Martin (Findlay, Ohio)09-Jul-21 11:12 PM
The storms overnight are going to be racing south to southeast roughly 50-70 MPH
especially in Nebraska
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)09-Jul-21 11:18 PM
This storm is dying.
Lightning is cool, although not photogenic.
Mainly because there’s a down burst of water blocking all the strikes.
Jim Martin (Findlay, Ohio)09-Jul-21 11:21 PM
Extremely dangerous storm currently in the northwest Nebraska Panhandle.
Cody D. (Lincoln, NE - UNL)09-Jul-21 11:43 PM
About to pass through Lincoln. Chasing the MCS bois.
Lucas Munzlinger (Dittmer,MO)10-Jul-21 12:43 AM

Grant Leighty (Kansas City, MO)10-Jul-21 10:47 AM
Omaha was hit hard last night from the storms.
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)11-Jul-21 01:06 PM
Based on some of the power line damage to our south (sheared off mid pole) there is evidence of possible meso vorts/spinups that occured. Radar supported
Kyle (Wayzata, MN)11-Jul-21 01:12 PM
I wouldn't be surprised given the high CAPE and turbulence of two cold pools colliding over the city.
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)11-Jul-21 01:21 PM
The oddball 96mph gust with 63 sustained at OMA eppley might have been in a spin up since it was about 20mph higher than all over area obs
That zone of spin appeared to move SSW on radar into eastern Papillion where I live and where much of the worst damage was
Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK)11-Jul-21 01:22 PM
Have they ever confirmed it. Last I saw, they thought it was an error reading
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)11-Jul-21 01:23 PM
They did confirm it to be real. Ties all time record
Eppley is down by the river and usually get shielded by the bad straight lines. We had a 110 and 130 recorded west side of town in the last 20 years
Whoever decided to plant maple trees over the entire city was an idiot
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)

Kyle (Wayzata, MN)11-Jul-21 02:39 PM
I actually thought it was a microburst at the time.
I do remember seeing a broad meso in the line on radar. It was on the eastern half somewhere.
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)11-Jul-21 03:03 PM
There was a very stout Rear inflow jet. A couple of inbound eddies formed on the front flank, typical signal of a brief LEWP tor. However they are very hard to confirm, in particular at night
