6/13/2014 - WY SR-24 Tornadic Supercell

Posted: 15 Jun 2014 09:28 PM PDT
Another day, another trip down SR-24. The road is best known as a biker paradise and its pretty mountain scenery; alas, on this day it also featured a tornadic supercell. This was a relatively simple chase complicated by the mountain terrain. We had only one road option and simply had to keep ahead of the cell as it moved east from Devils. The storm really wrapped up near Hulett, WY ... we had to push east just as it appeared to tornado as the meso was upon us. This likely cost us a view of the touchdown as we drifted through the mountain-valley terrain east of Hulett. We stopped along SR-24 a few times, each time awestruck at the intense rotation meandering in the mountains. With no way to gain perspective by driving north, we were locked in with a pure west view of the rain-wrapped, tornadic circulation.  We followed it east toward Belle Fourche, before pushing east since convection exploded everywhere, muddying the scene.  The EF2 tornado was over 18 miles long and, unfortunately, caused an injury.  Eventually, we met up with my brother (who ferried from Denver) near Wasta, SD, where both groups gobbled up the beautiful convective sky. Called it quits as the storms dissipated in the evening light; overnighted in Winner, SD.


Storm begins to wrap in low levels near Hulett, WY.

Today's Weather Outlook
UPDATED 12:15 AM EDT, June 3, 2014


Downpours and even fresh thunderstorms will become problems for the Nation's Midsection and East Coast today. Meanwhile, stifling heat will control the U.S. Southern-tier, while ot...hers will be fortunate enough to see a quiet day.


A compact but potent low pressure system emerging onto the central and northern High Plains will be the catalyst for wild weather across Nebraska, Iowa, northern Kansas, stretching all the way across the northern Missouri Valley this afternoon and evening. Not only will it squeeze out flooding downpours that will ruin outdoor plans, but severe thunderstorms within it will also carry large and destructive hail, high winds, and even a few strong tornadoes. Highs will soar into the 90s for Kansas while the rest of the central Plains will warm into the 80s.


The Northeast and Southeast will also be bitten by the unsettled weather bug as well. A cold front racing into the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Lower Ohio Valley will touch off a rash of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The main impact from them will be slow-moving flooding downpours. The mercury will climb into the 70s across Maine, with 80s draped across the remainder of the East Coast.


Meanwhile, the Desert Southwest and southern Plains will bake underneath plenty of early-June sun today. Highs will climb into the triple-digits across the Southwest, while the southern Plains skyrocket into the 90s.


Not to be left out, the Pacific Northwest and northern Plains into the Great Lakes will not only enjoy comfortable temperatures, but also residents will bask in plenty of sunshine. Temperatures will climb into the 60s and 70s across the Pacific Northwest, with 70s and 80s commonplace in the Great Lakes.

Today's Weather Outlook


Today's Weather Outlook
12:15 AM EDT, June 2, 2014

A cold front lazily making its way across the Nation`s Midsection will help to kick off a wide swath of showers and thunderstorms from the Gulf Coast to the Canadian border. Meanwhile, the southwestern U.S. will sizzle under triple-digit heat.


Showers and storms will dot much of the Heartland today as warm, moist air streams northward from the Gulf. A cold front will help focus the stronger thunderstorms over the Plains, where there will be a small chance for some thunderstorms with highs winds and hail.

This muggy, unstable air will bring scattered thunderstorms to a much wider area however, including the Upper Midwest, Ohio Valley, Lower Mississippi Valley, and parts of the Southeast. Temperatures will vary a bit, but it will be mild-to-warm everywhere.

Highs will hit the 60s and 70s from Fargo, N.D., to the Twin Cities, 80s from Kansas City to Cincinnati, and the 80s and 90s across the entire Mid-South.

Along the immediate coasts on both sides of the U.S., locations should stay dry. It will be mostly sunny and warm from Charleston S.C. to Boston, with highs in the 70s and 80s. Florida will stay unsettled however with highs in the 80s and 90s.

Along the Pacific Coast, after some June Gloom morning clouds, there will be mostly sunny skies from San Diego to Seattle, with highs in the 60s and 70s.

The toastiest locales will be found in the California Deserts and the Southwest, as highs hit the century mark. Las Vegas, Phoenix, and El Paso, Texas, will all top out over 100 degrees, with Albuquerque warming well into the mid-90s. Stay cool!
