VORTEX2: June 2, 2009 - Day 23 Getting laid on the ground (no V2): HP supercell. Miles traveled today: 546 miles traveled in total: 7457. When we hear the words of David Dowell who tells us that today is not caccierà but we will move westward ahead of the weekend that promises to be very active from the meteorological point of view the audience definitely not exult. mandoline Last night before leaving for dinner had proposed the possibility of un'alzataccia and an early departure at 7 am to be able to be in the afternoon in the Texas panhandle where the conditions for the development mandoline of supercells would be the best. All yesterday were a little 'excited by this new perspective, but at 10 PM, unfortunately, we had been notified of the decision of the great leaders that there was no alarm and no advance 7 hour journey to the south.
In the morning, so there is still a bit of regret over the decisions mandoline today as the day today is definitely classified as a travel day, however, when there may be a possibility of interception in southern Kansas, mandoline maybe marginal and apparently not comparable mandoline to the conditions in Texas. But what happens after the end of the briefing goes deeply to determine the trend of the day: three of the four probe and two other vehicles under the guidance of Tim Marshall get permission mandoline to leave the caravan and try to get down to the south of the Kansas Looking for some opportunità.E so while the entire armada merge onto Interstate 70 in the direction of Hays, the five vehicles take the way of the south, the direction Wichita, followed also by the TIV and Discovery Channel. The day is enriched by a lunch "All you can eat" buffet at the Golden Corral in Wichita and from a wonderful visit to the office mandoline of the National Weather Service in the city where we have the opportunity to participate in the briefing hours 14.The various forecasters turn and charge us a detailed illustration of the weather situation confirming us that surely there will be thunderstorms mandoline in the area. After the canonical souvenir photo of the group we head west puntanto the muzzles of our vehicles to Dodge City where in the meantime had taken the first cumulonimbus life.
In the path towards one of the thunderstorms in the area of Dodge City is transformed into a supercell, and soon appear the first Thunderstorms Warning and to everyone's surprise is also a report of a brief tornado touchdown of a few tens of seconds. Here then shoot even the Tornado Warning, among total disbelief. In Texas, in the meantime mandoline several Thunderstorms are active but still no Warning Tornado Warning.
The entire armada of VORTEX2 is directed to Colby in a travel day and we're living in one of the best days of hunting around the project ... not credere.Quando Pratt reach a group of new cells takes shape a few dozen miles to the east of the cells of Dodge City in the area of convergence to the ground between the winds that blow from the north-east to the north and from the south-east area in which we find ourselves. The interaction then with the outflow boundary of the first cell provides a further boost to the updraft of the thunderstorm that begin to show signs of inequivocabli rotazione.Seguiamo very closely the movements of our time that within a few tens of minutes is transformed into a temporal supercellulare also starting to move to the right with respect to the average motion of the other cells. The almost clear sky to the south-east of the supercell provides fuel to the incoming currents which, although not particularly strong support for a long period of time the supercell. In a short time you hear a tornado mandoline warning for our target. The vision of the base rotating dell'updraft is great and the rotation is so obvious that sometimes we expect that something more can happen, the formation mandoline of a tornado is not so at this point by escludere.Grazie to the good road network remain for a good time in contact with the supercell which gradually transforms into an HP (high precipitation supercell).
The clouds from the dark color accompany the bands hail characterized by shades ranging from white to verdognelo. At times the wallcloud mandoline tend to drop dramatically mandoline giving more excitement to the east of Sylvia. Simultaneously arrive reports of severe hail size of the grains around 4 cm in diameter and wind gusts up to 110 km / h. We can see the clear slot and end up inside the bear's cage while several cloud-to-ground lightning blue color is discharged from the base of the cloud. Thanks stubbornness and steadfastness in their intent mandoline today 14 people on board five submissions have experienced one of the best days of the entire season. For all this, however, there is a price to pay and the bill
