6th Western Missouri
I intercepted two
supercells in western Missouri. The supercells formed on a
slow moving coldfront will strong instability (2500-3500
CAPE) on both sides of the front. Flow was
weak with 5kt west wind at the surface and 30 kt WNW flow at
500mb.
After struggling for some time this
cell developed a wallcloud with modest rotation near Dover,
MO.
This horizontal vortex at the
RFD/updraft interface lasted about two minutes and preceded
several short-lived funnels.
2 miles NW of Higginsville, MO a
funnel with moderate rotation lasted lasted 5 minutes.
 
The funnel lasted from 8:40 to 8:45
PM.
I intercepted the second supercell
near Holden, MO.
This supercell produced what appeared
to be a large cone-shaped funnel (not pictured) 1 mile west
of Holden, MO.
