The forecasters have begun warning operations in two different sectors. Team 1 (Eric and Patrick on Higgins) are currently focusing on two storms in N. Kansas, issuing a hail swath on the northern storm and hail and tornado for the storm in Sheridan Co, KS. Team 2 (Kevin and Mark on Moore) are covering 3 storms in the Hastings Nebraska CWA, including an HP supercell near Lexington, NE that seems to be outflow dominant. Travis and Greg are keeping track of storm reports and spotter locations and cameras on the SAD.

Team 1 (above) is updating storm motions for multiple threats on the Sheridan Co storm and have already noted that it would be nice to update all threats at one time. They are also using a different naming convention for the storms, referring to them instead by county names–perhaps due to Patrick’s familiarity with the Goodland’s CWA.

Team 2 (above) have issued a low prob tornado warning on the Lexington, NE storm as the velocity signature has gotten a bit better… storm spotters have just recently reported a brief touchdown with this storm.
