The storm began to exhibit an “enhanced-V” signature just prior to the time that it started producing large hail in Omaha. Note: the plotted location of the SPC storm reports on this animation (and all animations on this blog post) have been parallax-corrected, moving them slightly north-northeastward to match the location of cloud top features having a mean altitude of 10 km. The letters UNK after a W wind report denotes “unknown intensity”.

During the late afternoon and early evening, GOES-14 Visible (0.63 \u00b5m) images (below; <\/strong>also available as a large 59 Mbyte animated GIF<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em> revealed additional thunderstorms which produced hail and damaging winds across eastern Missouri and southern Illinois (SPC storm reports<\/strong><\/a>). These storms fired along an outflow boundary left in the wake of another mesoscale convective system (MCS)\u00a0 that moved through the region earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

One feature of interest was the “storm-top plume” that emanated from the largest cluster of overshooting tops, and was blown northeastward.<\/p>\n
