The house has been rattling all night long and all day. Hopefully we can break up these clouds to get some sunshine to get some good storms going 

The sun has broke out here with a temp of 76.  Some watches are about to go out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now fires in Northeast Nebraska. This is a nightmare for the state. 

 

I saw tonight on the news there was another fatality from the fires. The news didn’t have a lot of information other than it was from central Nebraska and there had been an earlier report of 3 firefighters injured

I hadn’t heard that. I’ll do some checking.

That Tornado-Warned Supercell went right OVER Oklahoma City, it cleared me to the north. But then ANOTHER Supercell had hook at Norman & it was heading towards me, but like it always does, it occluded to the north at the last minute. Nothing fell until a 3rd Supercell arrived with a LOT of Rain and Lightning.

Never say Never with Weather, because anything is possible!

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted

No Tx wind FINALLY laid down. Calm until mid afternoon.  
heavy rain expected between 3pm and dawn.  That’s fine. We need it. Crops, ranchers, and fire threats will all get relief.  
 

Overcast 70*.

I only picked up 0.15" of rain as the cold front moved through.  My April total is up to 3.60".  The next system at the end of this week could push me over 4" for the second consecutive month.
