Normally don't do a post like this, but wanted to say happy 27th birthday to my (Twitterless) wife, Kristin.☺️

WAIT, did I mention we got married?!
This was back on Sept 14th...😅

I want to prioritize my marriage, so I'll remain less active on SM. Much love to you all🙏💙

@sambrandt99 The amount of luck that's involved in executing a successful tornadic intercept is much higher than we may think.

[Hunter Anderson @ColdCoreCowboy]

Trends are being monitored in the OK Panhandle!

"...convective trends will be monitored..."

[Cameron Nixon @CameronJNixon]

We need a list of our favorite SPC phrases and adjectives; "modest moisture return", "robust supercells", "enlarging low-level hodographs". Any more? 🤓

[Hunter Anderson @ColdCoreCowboy]

Even on the dryline trends are being monitored!

[Hunter Anderson @ColdCoreCowboy]

@CameronJNixon @Emokwx We get pulsating convection strictly over MSP metro a handful of times per summer. Will attach to this comment when it inevitably occurs (if I remember).

@WeatherKannon One of my favorite landscapes across the Plains.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the developing CC500L setup currently unfolding just north of Regina, SK. The small cells in the white circle will be capable of producing a few brief tornadoes, as opposed to severe hail or gusty winds. #skstorm

@Chasaru3 @a_dose_of_wx Smart of you heading to PR during a flipping +ENSO.

Hope you guys enjoy both trips, they sound great!

Thoughts remain unchanged.

[Hunter Anderson @ColdCoreCowboy]

@wxkylegillett Lapse rates above 8, long-track supercells with hail & damaging winds are great!

(Would love to be near Faith, SD tomorrow)

[Hunter Anderson @ColdCoreCowboy]

@wxkylegillett @ChaserJake94 @wxmann (also) those divine lapse rates. every. time.

[Hunter Anderson @ColdCoreCowboy]

@ChaserJake94 @wxmann Regardless, vertical wind profiles were highly streamwise through the lowest 7-8 km.

1) Looks like a few folks were ready to see some Dakota tornado action!

2) Nobody.

[Hunter Anderson @ColdCoreCowboy]

Anyone in North/South Dakota ready for these tomorrow? Who will I see out there? 🤠

[NWS Riverton @NWSRiverton]

Cold air funnel seen from our office! Today is favorable for more of these short-lived weak circulations, due to lots of "spin" in the atmosphere & cold air aloft, leading to robust cumulus updrafts. Usually these don't reach the ground. For more info: https://t.co/TxwdFbSfXG

While today does not meet criterion for a CC500L regime, a pseudo-cold core/mini supercell setup exists over ND/SD today. Moisture is overperforming & this 77/73 ob in 1D8 is legit. Should have initiation in a couple hrs. Armchair tornado forecast is provided. #sdwx #ndwx

[Hunter Anderson @ColdCoreCowboy]

0110Z - outflowy structure near Ellendale, ND to end the day.

I think the overperforming thermos in the warm sector fostered widespread convection which limited tornado potential in N/E SD today.

Unsurprisingly didn't see a single chaser. Thanks for following along today!

7/7

[Hunter Anderson @ColdCoreCowboy]

0100Z - SD/ND state line 7mi N of Frederick, SD looking SSW. Time to be a structure hipster before heading home. #sdwx
