2010

The 2010 chase season brought some success.  As the second year of VORTEX2, we were able to intercept and collect good data on more than a handful of days, a significant improvement over what Mother Nature yielded in 2009!

Quite a roller coaster of "go - no go" for me... Starting late last week, I began to look forward to Monday as my first chase of the season. By the time the weekend came and went, however, the forecasts were looking considerably worse for low-topped tornadic supercell potential, and I went to bed Sunday night assuming that I wouldn't chase Monday. Well, when I awoke Monday morning, a check of sfc obs revealed that Tds were higher than previously anticipated, and the morning model runs suggested that CAPE would be a little greater than previously forecast. After some discussion with my usual chase partners shortly after 1 pm, and seeing the second band of convection moving across western Oklahoma and western north Texas, I didn't think I'd be able to make it in time to my "preferred" target of Stinnet - Canadian, TX. As such, I pretty much left the NWC around 2 pm with the mindset that I wasn't going to chase. However, as I neared I40, I made a last-second change-of-mind, and began trekking westward towards the TX panhandle border.

Total Distance: 85 miles
Target Area: Impromptu
Chase Area: Near Perry, OK
Maximum SPC Risk category: Slight

I wasn't planning on chasing, but a decent-looking supercell developed south of Enid around sunset, so I decided to drive up I35 to take a look. The supercell had pretty good structure while I was en route, though it began to weaken (per radar and my own visual obs) as I pulled off of I35 just south of Hwy 51. I watched the cell move near Perry and then northeastward from there, taking some opportunities to get some lightning pictures. A new severe storm developed W of Kingfisher, so I opted to head W then S to get in line with the approaching storm. By the time I reached Crescent, however, the storm was rapidly weakening, so I decided to head home for the night.

The cap was expected to be a significant problem as a result of mediocre low-level moisture and little if any forcing aloft. With the upper-level trough hanging back well to the west, we were hoping that the dryline circulation and a narrow corridor of depleted CINH ahead of the dryline would allow for at least one or two storms to initiate between northern Oklahoma and northern Kansas.

Similar to the previous day, there was significant uncertainty regarding initiation before sunset, by which time it was expected that linear convection would rapidly develop E of I35 along a dryline or rapidly-approaching cold front. A couple of high-resolution WRF runs, however, suggested that an isolated storm or two was possible from north-central OK into southeastern Kansas. Though I wasn't really planning on chasing, the possibility of initiation not too far to my N led me to head northward on I35 (with Gabe Garfield, Chris Schwarz, and Mike Buban). We watched a few persistent clusters of Cu/TCu from N of Enid to a boundary collision near ICT (northeast of which training convection was leading to a quasi-linear mess).

Total Distance: 810 miles
Target Area: Silverton - Turkey, TX
Chase Area: Floydada to Dickens, TX
Maximum SPC Risk category: Slight

Gabe Garfield, his brother Joe, and I chased between Floydada and Dickens on Wednesday. We made it to the storm that was beginning to transition into a supercell SW of Floydada, with respectable structure (including scud beneath the base). Shortly after arriving the nascent supercell slowed down and turned right, convection to the southeast, perhaps riding north-northeastward on some cooler outflow, interacted with "our" supercell. Unfortunately, after this convection crossed the latitude of our storm, the supercell steadily withered away to nothingness.

Target Area: Turkey - Wellington, TX
Chase Area:  W of McLean; S of Childress
Maximum SPC Risk category: Moderate

Two supercells produced more than a half-dozen tornadoes from NW of Clarendon, TX, to N of Alanreed, TX, straddling I40.  We watched the first supercell produce several tornadoes (from at least two mesocyclones) at our location near Jericho, TX, about a mile or two S of I40.  As this was going on, I noticed another tornado from a second supercell to our distant southwest; we were watching two tornadoes from two different supercells on the ground at the same time.
