[00:00:00]Here comes funnel, funnel's coming.

[00:00:01]Funneling out of the rain. Well, big ground scratcher, big ground scratcher.

[00:00:05]Big ground scratcher, Cory.

[00:00:07]Cory sees next to those pins over there.

[00:00:09]IT'S IT'S TOSSING STUFF.

[00:00:17]I'm just north of Salina, Kansas this morning, currently under a moderate risk for severe weather today. A tornado outbreak is likely for portions of eastern and into northeast Kansas, also far northwest Missouri and southeast Nebraska. Any supercell that does develop will be in an an environment extremely supportive of strong to potentially violent tornadoes. Some of those may be longer tracked as well, depending on how quick upscale growth occurs. Like an exploded supercell right there, so Are you talking about the stuff south of 70 or or north?

[00:00:49]West of eating on that's right there at the exit I told you about. It's on It's on the outflow boundary at the triple point. It is never green.

[00:00:56]>> [laughter] >> All right, good luck up there, all right?

[00:01:01]All right, man. Peace.

[00:01:03]>> [music] [music] >> The watch text finally loaded. Primary threat, several tornadoes and a few intense tornadoes likely. Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail to 3 in and scattered damaging wind gusts to 70. It's a real deal.

[00:01:28]Pick up if you want to do the pre-chase prayer. Apples, look at the size of the wall cloud right there on the left side.

[00:01:34]>> Wall cloud's getting more rounded.

[00:01:36]The whole base is getting more rounded out. Huge wall cloud north of Minneapolis, Kansas.

[00:01:42]Wild.

[00:01:42]>> This wall cloud just unburied itself from the murk from my vantage point and that thing is a chunker. Monster.

[00:01:49]Monster wall cloud, huge bell. Major bell on this wall cloud.

[00:01:54]South of South of Wow.

[00:01:56]Look at this.

[00:01:58]What a unit.

[00:02:00]One of the absolute units. It's trying to drop.

[00:02:04]South of Palmer.

[00:02:05]We're cranking and kind of falling apart, but solid funnel. It's higher base a little bit, but it's rapid rotation at broad sense. A lot of rising scud up underneath the base right now.

[00:02:22]Looks like it found the warm front.

[00:02:25]It's trying to do it.

[00:02:29]Oh, we got the Dominator here. Son of a Yep, big son of a Big son of a Right in front of us.

[00:02:41]Get ready, Corey.

[00:02:45]Wow, rapid rotation.

[00:02:50]Oh, it's getting rapid. Still got broad, but moderate rotation on it. No, it's rapid. It's rapid, Scott. HERE IT COMES, FUNNEL. FUNNEL, IT'S COMING DOWN.

[00:03:05]COPY THAT.

[00:03:11]Big funnel.

[00:03:16]Yeah, it's condensing. It's condensing.

[00:03:21]All the way to the ground. There's the rope.

[00:03:30]Ground contact. Rope tornado ground contact now.

[00:03:34]Ah, got to get north.

[00:03:36]Got to get north.

[00:03:37]>> in front of me.

[00:03:41]Get north on it.

[00:03:46]Here it comes.

[00:03:48]Tornado in progress.

[00:04:01]>> Now we got full ground contact. I can see a dust whirl on the ground.

[00:04:06]It's a rope tornado.

[00:04:11]Yep, there it is.

[00:04:16]Wow.

[00:04:17]Big rope there.

[00:04:21]It's shooting out the side.

[00:04:43]Wow.

[00:04:46]Still going.

[00:05:00]Right here.

[00:05:12]Wow.

[00:05:16]Big rope.

[00:05:18]Oh, there's Ground circ, BIG TIME GROUND CIRC.

[00:05:30]It's got ground circ, Corey.

[00:05:33]More disease next to those pins over there.

[00:05:46]Wow.

[00:05:57]Wow, there it is.

[00:06:04]Fully condensed.

[00:06:06]Big dust swirl on the ground.

[00:06:08]Broke tornado.

[00:06:10]First south of 9.

[00:06:14]Right north.

[00:06:16]Wow, big grass fire. Big grass fire.

[00:06:19]There it is. THERE'S A IT'S TOSSING STUFF.

[00:06:27]It's already careful. It's slippery here.

[00:06:30]Trying to catch back up.

[00:06:50]Durham.

[00:06:54]I'm going to any of that.

[00:06:58]Wow.

[00:06:59]What a tornado.

[00:07:04]All right, we just got a big time tornado southeast of Palmer. New supercell moving right up here by the warm front. It's a warm front causing these things to go crazy. We've got a new big wall cloud which looks like it's getting ready to produce here.

[00:07:17]We have big problems.

[00:07:18]Looks like this couple's coming right into town.

[00:07:21]We're in Blue Rapids right now. This thing really needs to wait.

[00:07:24]Please don't come into town.

[00:07:33]Please wait.

[00:07:35]There's a massive wall cloud.

[00:07:38]Please just wait till you get east of town do it.

[00:07:42]Oh, Nothing on the ground top corner. That would like give it for a second. Looks like it's going to wait until it passes through town, hopefully.

[00:07:52]Yep, there it is.

[00:07:53]We got it on the drone.

[00:07:55]Wow.

[00:08:02]Wow, large tornado.

[00:08:18]>> [music] >> Big time sink pipe in progress.

[00:08:26]>> [music] >> Not good. [music] >> [music] >> Okay, it appears from my point of it is roped out.

[00:09:13]I have like three chasers directly in front of me getting hit by it cuz they didn't realize it was there, I don't think.

[00:09:18]>> Wow, big freaking tornado. It's losing its rotation on velocities by a lot.
