March 7, 2009 Hutchinson, Kansas Tornadic Supercell
Last Updated on Wednesday, 27 January 2010 14:40 Written by Roger Hill
March 7th was a day of decent kinematics, but limited moisture. Nonetheless, intense supercell storms formed along the triple point in south central Kansas and intensified as they moved northeast through the instability axis. Most of these storms had decent structure and rotation, with several tornado reports occurring around the Hutchinson area. We intercepted on tornadic storm and several other rotating nicely structured supercells. Click on the images below for larger pictures. Enjoy!
