On Saturday, May 10, we targeted the Emporia, KS, area.\u00a0 Shear and instability looked great for supercells, but surface winds would likely not be “backed” enough for a decent tornado threat in this region.\u00a0 Our tour group had to be back in Oklahoma City by noon the following day, so we could not consider the better tornado threat towards Kansas City.<\/p>\n

By mid-late afternoon, we got in front of a supercell south of Latham, KS, in Butler County.\u00a0 This one fizzled, but another cell approached a little to our west.\u00a0 The updraft base passed overhead near Atlanta, in Cowley County.\u00a0 There was a lot of cloud spinning and pronounced lowerings, and a chaser saw a small and brief tornado near our location that we did not spot.\u00a0 This action area passed just to our east and headed towards Latham and looked ready to form a tornado.\u00a0 We caught up to a white funnel cloud that was just to our north.\u00a0 We could not discern any ground circulation, but it was darn close!<\/p>\n

This storm seemed to lose some punch as it continued to the east, so we went south to Chambers.\u00a0 Near there, we watched another supercell strengthen to our northwest and north.\u00a0 It was time for another intercept, so we headed east on 160 to Moline and north on 99 towards Howard.\u00a0 This one was a spectacular beast, and we elected to play the structure at sunset instead of getting close to the action area closer in, near Severy.\u00a0 It produced a pretty, slender tornado near Severy that we did not observe.<\/p>\n
