For our second ever video of this type, we’re taking a look at a day that would challenge any chaser to pick out the right target. This is another Slight risk/2% tornado risk with the dryline in the Texas Panhandle being outlined for a supercell risk.
However, because some might call us renegades, we opted for a different target in NW Oklahoma: an outflow boundary.
As you may know if you’ve followed our thoughts on forecasting in the past, outflow boundaries are our muse — but they’re not magic. When outflow boundaries work, you can end up with a tornadopalooza. When they don’t, you can end up with a mess of semi-organized storms with no hope of seeing anything worthwhile.
In this storm chase case, we’re going to look at outflow boundaries and when its a good idea to target them. Also, we’re taking a look at other forecast considerations such as dewpoints, temp-dewpoint spreads, and the impact of morning storms on a target.
Really appreciate the way you told this story. And very educational. Thanks guys!
That was very interesting and very informative
I follow you (Tornado Titans) on instagram and didn't even know you were on YouTube. For someone who is just casually interested in tornados (and extreme weather in general) this was a very informative video, I will certainly view others and look forward to new ones. Thanks!
good job
So to see the lower cloud base you look at Dewpoint spread ? Where do you find that on weather.us?
Tornado #1 : Nice rope.Tornado #2 : Kinda scuddy cone.Tornado #3 : Partially rain wrapped tornado.
