@a_dose_of_wx How does one enter

Just a pancake-stack mesocyclone in western Kansas…wait no, western New York!

[NWS Binghamton @NWSBinghamton]

EF2/115mph Tornado (Town of Fayette) & EF1/95mph Tornado (Waterloo-Seneca Falls) confirmed along with intense downbursts from the high-end severe storms Wednesday. More details on our Public Information Statement: https://t.co/N6B9PMgVL1 #nywx #tornado

Another Cme lifts off away from earth. We are getting a teeny tiny bit closer though, need about three-four more days for this region to be in striking distance

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

@JeremyCruzWX It’s a nice in between like you said, no damage done and you still got to see a rotating cloud 😎

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

@BradyBGWX You have the aura of a NY plains mothership

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

@BradyBGWX I was confused why the edit made it disappear, wacky feature lol

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

@BradyBGWX Oh yes you do

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

@NorthernSkies5 Yeah most likely. The smaller Cme headed our way is likely too far out to be responsible

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

The magic 8 ball which we call “protons” is speaking 🎱

Can big things come from small packages? As trans-equatorial Coronal Hole 91(positive) crosses central meridian, it's CH HSS CIR should arrive by September 07, 2024. It may be small but it's stream might me mighty, I have seen kP 6 conditions from holes this small.....

[Mighty Muffins @Mighty__Muffins]

Ah so that I was right it was basically a 1 scan tornado by Medina. That picked up a lot of stuff in that 1.2 mile path. But it all fell out 2 scans later on CC.

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

A lot of pain and an ounce of hope in the latest HUXt model update. The east limb gets absolutely nuked with a barrage of CMEs.

However, HUXt indicates we’re very likely to see the arrival of a small CME (85.6%) in about three days, combined with a 500km/s CH stream. G1 possible

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

@JeremyCruzWX It was a bit disappointing seeing a radar signature like that so close and not getting a single glimpse. I think the visibility (lack of) of tornadoes is the only real knock on those storms. Everything else was perfect👌

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

I’ve only been on a few storm chases in my life. Being positioned on a supercell in front of a massive RFD and inflow notch was not something I ever thought I’d get to have my first experience of in the northeast, given the rarity of this kind of event and how rarely I chase.

[Zach Berman @BermaniWX]

@JeremyCruzWX Don’t know how that isn’t warned, what are they doing!!??? Doesn’t look like it’ll last long though since the inflow is really blocked by that secondary supercell just south of it, but maybe we’ll get a merger and it’ll reform

Some final edits on that outrageous mothership in Medina, NY.

Two tornadoes confirmed. I have learned that one tornado was ongoing two miles away in the 3rd photo, likely behind the corn on the right. I've tried to contrast enhance it but not seeing anything convincing. #nywx
