Plains Severe Weather….6/17/10 Outbreak Update

Another day full of twisters.  The Storm Prediction Center has a moderate risk of severe storms out for portions of the Central Plains today.  Tornado watches are already in effect with initiation taking place across WY, CO, NE, KS.  The particular storm above is the first to go tornado warned in Kansas today and already had a reported tornado by law enforcement in western Scott County, KS. 

Storm chasers are also in the field today and can be viewed on SevereStudios.com and ChaserTV.com.  We will bring you the images from the field as they are captured from some of the worlds best storm intercept teams.  If anything over the top happens, we will attempt to bring it to you first. 

On a side note….the 6/17/10 outbreak has produced at least 4 violent tornadoes across the states of North Dakota and Minnesota along with several other tornadoes.  The Grand Forks and Minneapolis NWS offices continue to investigate some areas and we will likely hear of more updates in the coming days.  Hated to see so many people lose thre homes and lives during that round of violent weather.  It’s that time of year for our neighbors to the north, however.  More later…
