We are once again tracking tornado threat across Kansas among several other States and to help break it all down, we had to meteorologist Tony Lawback, who joins us from Shields, Kansas. Tony. Yeah, Melissa, you’re in for a treat here because we’re going to have some fun with a little bit of show and tell behind me right now over my right shoulder, this off to my northeast. This is the tornadic storm that is working its way across southern Gove County. We’ve been tracking this storm for the better part of the last hour and change it I think right now is north of the warm front. It seems a little bit on the elevated side, does have some good rotation, but that warm front’s just in the vicinity here and if it’s got north of the warm front, it’s ingesting some cool air. So it might have a hard time kind of generating that spin. Not the greatest view for more I’m at is I am located S South East of this. So I’m kind of looking back into the precipitation. Let’s show you the radar here. Because this is the only one we’re looking at right now. We’ve got two very strong super cells that have developed here along the dry line. One of those, the one that you were just looking at the tornadic cell and then we’ve got a second one behind it off to the West that is severe warned. And that one I’ve got concerns with is that is a little bit further South. It’s a little bit more so in the warm sector and about 20 minutes ago that really had a pretty stout wall cloud. We’ll bring you back live because I have shifted the direction back to that cell and you can kind of see off in the distance there. That’s just off to my northwest. This would be northwest of the town of Shields in southern Gove County. Little bit of a lowering here that has been pretty persistent for the better part of the last 20 minutes. You see some of the lightning strikes there behind you as well as this storm. It continues to kind of get organized on the tail end of this one. Right now if you kind of see off in the corner, there’s another storm that’s kind of working its way in. So right now we’ve got what we call a little bit of a collision and we’re seeing that happen, which kind of impedes that. Sometimes if the storm’s trying to get some low level rotation, those storms kind of merge together and as a result you don’t quite get as much spin. In other cases though, that sometimes helps with that. So whether it’s constructive or destructive remains to be seen. But watching that storm, we’re watching that storm, 2 storms right now in central Kansas. One Tornadic has not produced a tornado yet. The other one over my shoulder, further off to the South and West of that storm. That’s one that’s got my attention as well. We’re going to be tracking these through the evening. We were concerned we weren’t going to see storms, but if we did, they were going to be big ones. Right now we’ve got two big ones in central Kansas that are working their way to the east. All right, Tony. Among the several others through that exist in the Texas region and portions of Oklahoma.
