Friday 29th April 2022 - Kansas (Moderate Risk)
First day back since 2019 due to Covid and hoping I wasnt too rusty and all my equipment worked. My Target was Between Wichita and Salina and a Dryline would be the focal point for Storms Today. SPC Had added a 15% Tornado Risk within their Moderate Risk for today.Storms Erupted around Mcpherson and we chased the above Supercell towards Chapman, it produced a weak Tornado before being consumed by the crashing cold front from the west.We dropped south after the Storm had been consumed and the Quasi Linear Line was advancing ESE just to our west all the time. But something amazing happened which we were not expecting, the Cold Front then turned into a line of Semi Discrete Supercell which all started getting tornado warnings and started to drop Tornadoes, we saw another 2 Tornadoes on our journey south. The first being a Tornado to our west near Ramona and the 2nd a large wedge which just crossed behind us. The setting sun behind the cold front was also making for some amazing cloudscapes.Other side of the above picture below showing a Proper Tornado and NOT a Landspout - Pic from Brandon SullivanWe now started to hear of a Violent Tornado (EF3) ravaging parts of Andover which is east of Wichita at this time and could see the Storm to our South which looked very LP in Nature from our point and having seen the pictures of Andover there looks to be hardly any precip from any angle meaning the Tornado would have been highly visible from all sides.And finally the Andover Tornado Below which was ongoing to our south.All in all not a bad first chase back with 3 Tornadoes straight off the bat to kick off the 2020's decade but could and should have done better.
