May 11 and 12, 2010 Supercells and Brief Tornado
Last Updated on Monday, 15 November 2010 16:53 Written by Roger Hill
May 11th and 12th promised to be decent days. Decent moisture and instability were present, along with good shear. However a fairly stout cap was in place on the 11th, which was much weaker on the 12th. We intercepted a briefly tornadic supercell south of Woodward, OK on the 11th and then a moster HP beast near Clinton, OK on the 12th. The 11th's storm was a wet LPish type supercell with pretty structure and a weak tornado not far from Strong City. The 12th's supercell produced a tornado east of Clinton that we weren't able to see, however the HP's structure was quite nice.

Beastly HP supercell southwest of Clinton, OK on May 12th.
Massive core and tail cloud as this storm spun strongly.
Large rotating wall cloud as wet RFD surged around it's south side. Shortly after this it produced a tornado on I-40 just east of Clinton, OK.
