IN Clarendon or near Clarendon?

Makes a big difference, pretty open country in that part of the Panhandle.

New watch could be coming farther south. No mention of replacement watch for 75 though.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0340
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0557 PM CDT THU APR 22 2010

AREAS AFFECTED...OK/TX PANHANDLES...FAR WRN OK...AND SWD TO WEST
CENTRAL TX

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 75...

VALID 222257Z - 230000Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 75 CONTINUES.

AN INCREASE IN MDT CU/CBS ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE SWD THROUGH MUCH
OF W TX /VICINITY OF MAF/ SINCE 21Z IS LIKELY INDICATIVE OF STRONG
DEEP FORCING FOR ASCENT SPREADING ENEWD ACROSS THIS REGION WITHIN
EXIT REGION OF 70-85 KT SWLY MID LEVEL JET. THIS JET IS NOW MOVING
OUT OF THE BASE OF THE LARGE SWRN U.S. CLOSED LOW CENTERED OVER THE
LOWER CO RIVER VALLEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ENVIRONMENT ACROSS WW 75
WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE FOR TORNADIC
SUPERCELLS AS EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR INCREASES TO 50+ KT WITHIN A
CORRIDOR OF MODERATE INSTABILITY /1500-2000 J/KG/ ALONG AND E OF THE
DRY LINE.

A NEW WW MAY BE NEEDED TO THE SOUTH OF WW 75 IN THE MAF
VICINITY...AND POSSIBLY FARTHER S...WHERE REGIONAL RADARS INDICATED
AN INCREASE IN TSTM DEVELOPMENT SINCE 2145Z. THIS ACTIVITY IS
DEVELOPING WITHIN THE SRN EXTENT OF A STRENGTHENING DRY LINE BENEATH
STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT SPREADING ENEWD INTO MUCH OF W TX AT THIS
TIME. IN ADDITION STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS OVER SW TX /AROUND
MAF/ AND AXIS EXTENDING NWD INTO TX/OK PANHANDLES WILL CONTINUE TO
AID IN BACKED S/SELY WINDS ALONG AND E OF THE DRY LINE IN RESPONSE
TO ISALLOBARIC FORCING. THESE WINDS WILL SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN LOW
LEVEL HODOGRAPH CURVATURE AND THE ATTENDANT THREAT FOR TORNADOES.
ONGOING ACTIVITY OVER DAWSON TO MIDLAND COUNTIES TX WILL TRACK NNEWD
INTO SRN EXTENT OF WW 75. IF OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST A GREATER SWD
DEVELOPMENT...THEN A NEW WW WOULD BE NEEDED.

This so far is turning into a storm chaser's dream...lots of tornadoes and some big ones, but all staying in the open country. Not aware of any significant damage at this point.

But tomorrow and especially Saturday could be a different story...

[CrazyC83]

LIVE Storm chaser report: LARGE WEDGE TORNADO about twice as wide as tall, estimated location 38.26N 101.00W - 6 miles WNW of Friend, KS

The good news on that wedge: it has about 15 miles of open country ahead of it before any communities are seriously threatened.

That is one impressive tornado there...second circulation off that supercell perhaps?

[Bunkertor]

Worthington has got an ~ F3 ??

[CrazyC83]

From my count, there have to be at least 4 or 5 cells with tornadoes on the ground right now.

[CrazyC83]

Worthington has got an ~ F3 ??

I'm not aware of any damage so far, so they would all be EF0's unless they find tree or power line or other damage.

The one Steve Worthington had north of Lakin, KS lasted a few minutes and is roping out. It was spectacular for its whole life. He is getting some good shots on the ground as it ropes out. Looked to be in open country thank God.

[CrazyC83]

The Tyler Costantini-tracked tornado is now approaching Scott City. Could our luck run out???

So far all of them have been in open country, but how long can our luck last???
