You have to wonder if there are any intentional fires being set...you never know in this crazy world we live in. Have you read how many food processing plants have mysterious been lit on fire or planes crashing into them??

CentralNebWeather Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Very disappointing, only between 0.10-0.15” of rainfall this early morning. Might just settle the dust a bit. Now dry for another week. As last night showed, the fires aren’t lessening in strength when they get started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think in this area, but their are wackos everywhere. Some people get the thrill in others pain. Way too many coincidences in those food plant fires. Those caught need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 I took a little drive, and yes our landfill is on fire. It is about 1 1/2 miles south of town. Heavy smoke blowing from the south/southeast has shrouded the western half of town in smoke. We live on the eastern edge of town, no smoke or smell here. There are many fire trucks and heavy equipment. Don’t want this spreading into town. What a year, not in a good way. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNebWeather Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Now a smell of smoke in the air here on the east side of Holdrege as of 8 am from the Holdrege landfill fire. Winds must have veered some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 The wind is ripping this morning gusting over 45mph. Storms over east central Kansas are fairly strong, not sure what impact they might have on severe chances this afternoon. Currently is 70 degrees already and the sun is shining. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market is brutal. My concerns for you now to add to your burden are rate hikes on the horizon. We went through this during the 2007 pre-crash economy. We built. Took 7 months then. With the supply chain issues it’s much harder. Stay strong and determined. You’ll get the right place. Meanwhile we have high winds 27-37 mph.

CentralNebWeather Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Another fun day of wind. West winds gusting 40-50 mph. You almost become numb to it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmahaSnowFan Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Wind advisory for here was upgraded to a high wind warning for gusts to 65 mph. It looks like the airport has had a gust of 58 mph so far. Here in town, my station has measured a gust of "only" 39.4 mph. Days like this are why I wish I could have my anemometer mounted higher to get better measurements of the wind. It's really dried out though with the dews falling into the mid 40s. I'm thinking of chasing still, but over in western Iowa. The HRRR has pretty consistently shown a couple of helicity tracks later this afternoon and early evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andie Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 These fires make me recall the fire season Texas had 2007-8. Awful time. You’re at the mercy of the wind and it’s nerve wracking. You pray for the wind to lay down. 2 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Clinton Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Several counties in Eastern Kansas haven't had a tornado watch in 3 years. That may be about to end in the next hour or so. SUMMARY...Convective initiation is anticipated in the next 1-2 hours, with storms posing a threat for large hail and damaging winds. Watch possible. DISCUSSION...Regional satellite shows cumulus development occurring beneath broken mid- to high-level clouds along a surface dryline, from near Wichita, KS, to west of the Emporia/Topeka, KS line. Surface observations show dew point temperatures in the upper 50s F within the warm sector, with temperatures in the low 80s F, yielding MLCAPE near 1000-1500 J/kg. The combination of strong low-level southerly flow with strong southwester mid-level flow is resulting substantial effective bulk shear (50-60 kt). The current expectation is for convective initiation along the dryline to occur in the next 1-2 hours, as supported by high-resolution CAM guidance. Storms should exhibit supercell characteristics, with large hail and damaging winds the primary threats, though a tornado or two is possible as well. Should this evolution unfold, a watch will probably been needed for portions of eastern Kansas this evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlgamer Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Picked up .80" of rain in well less than hour and temp went from around 75 to 59 as the line of storms in my area moved through. A little residual rain still falling so could add a few more hundredths. Some small hail fell as well but nothing severe here. 3 Quote 23-24 seasonal snow total: 17.8" (as of 3/9/24) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaSnowFan Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Had one of my shortest chases today in southwest Iowa. Got what I could out of it I guess. Went east of Red Oak hoping something discrete would stay together. Instead everything formed into a line pretty quickly. I was at the top of the line and a brief couplet formed causing a tornado warning to be issued and I was in the right position. I let the storm overtake me on a hill on a gravel road and experienced some heavy rains and winds to probably 60 mph that shook the car for a couple minutes and that was it. I debated chasing a line moving at 60 mph heading away from home for about 2 minutes and decided, nope! Headed home arriving back at the house by 7p. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
