Someday Merrill Teller will have a stroke and we will get to watch it live.

Storm Chasers that are "monitoring" the Dodge City storm

The Weather Channel has been broadcasting steady tornado coverage for 90 minutes. At least 9 tornados shown, most from start to finish. TWC hosts are almost orgasmic. Looks like the line will reach Wichita around 2:00 AM.

Hmmmm, somewhat surprised to see development this far east, this soon.

Seems like it's changing up a bit and going to move northeast and miss us?

Actually the cluster is starting to transition to a complex with damaging winds that's gonna eventually turn east and maybe even possibly southeast. Wichita will get it by 12:00, maybe sooner.


As for the Dodge City storm, that was absolutely crazy and beautiful. TWC actually did a nice job capturing it commercial free for a long time. A very photogenic storm that mostly ran over open country. Really can't ask for anything better than that.

The SPC is going to have to reintroduce a slight risk into SC KS. Should be able to break the cap and if winds stay backed like they are now a decent severe threat is definitely possible

Getting concerned that there will be one or two isolated supercells capable of very large hail and a tornado or two, maybe strong if the right environment can set up.

Dewpoint in wichita is 75......tropical.

I hope everyone else has their dehumidifiers on. I can't go it alone.

Time to go mow the yard and listen to Shocker baseball; that should pretty much do me in.

Prayers for chapman....

Looks like it missed a direct hit on Chapman. Skirted a few homes on the south side of town though according to reports.

That thing was a beast, said to be close to a mile wide.

Kansas is finally living up to its rep. Tomorrow has potential.
