Grizzcoat Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Only the 3rd time in KDSM Manual ASOS history (since 1996) that a confirmed tornado has been reported at the airport. I haven't checked the stats- but I believe this stretches a lot further back than 1996. For what ever reason.

OmahaSnowFan Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Back from chasing in Iowa. Unfortunately didn’t see the big tornado due to being 15 miles behind and never catching up bc of the fast storm motions of 50-55 mph. I was on a nice looking tornado warned storm but the main show came from the cell to my southeast. Being behind and trying to catch up led me through the damage path of the storm. First was the town of Orient, IA which was hit by 3-4” hail just to the north of the tornado path. Multiple cars had their windows busted out. I made it to Winterset, and just south of town observed major damage. After that, realizing I was never going to catch the storm with the 2 hour long tornado still on the ground south of Des Moines, I headed for home. Quite the weather day experience for me. Went to bed last night with T storms and mid 50s. Woke up to upper 30s and late am storms with pea sized hail. Left town and crossed into the warm sector with temps near 70. Came across 3-4” hail and tornado damage and beautiful sunlit supercells. Headed home crossing back into the cold sector and pulled up to my house with snowflakes falling!! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Boy, what a day of wx yesterday for the MW and the storms that barreled through IA. The 1st line produced one strong cell that track right overhead with vivid lightning and loud thunder. After that I went to sleep and was awakened by the second line of storms that went through N IL after 11:00pm. Man, I gotta tell ya, the roaring sound of the winds out ahead of this line I haven't heard in a long time with the bare trees. The sound it generates without the leaves on the trees is different when comparing it to a full tree of leaves. It's hard to explain, but it certainly is "fitting" that MAR "roars" like a Lion, albeit delayed by a few days. ORD had a peak wind gust of 66mph & RFD 81mph... Courtesy of our guy @barrybuttler from last nights boomers... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Paul Storm Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Haven’t stepped outside yet but eyeballing it I’d say we got about 5” of snow overnight. So what was supposed to be mostly rain/mix turned into a snowblower event. MPX: Overnight was a classic example of squeezing every ounce of energy out of the atmosphere over the Twin Cities as an intense mesoscale band of snow developed in response to a band of fgen centered in the h85-h7 layer. While most of you were sleeping, we saw snow rates of 2" per hour develop with this band, which quickly blanketed much of the metro in 3-5 inches of snow over the course of about 2-2.5 hours. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan1117 Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Ended up with around one inch of rainfall from the rain and storms Friday night and Saturday morning. Very beneficial rain without having to deal with any severe weather around here. Sendings thoughts and prayers for the 7 victims of the deadly tornado outbreak in Central Iowa yesterday… terrible news that this system took so many lives, including the lives of 2 young children. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
