All Activity

+1 Currently have a departure of +1.2 for this month so far, as of May 18th, but the upcoming cooler than normal stretch this week into next week would make May the coldest month of Spring 2025 by the time the month is over.

This is a historic tornado that just hit Plevna KS, already seeing homes leveled - not sure how much of Plevna was destroyed as reports are showing mainly the west part was hit. Apparently the gtg got to 250mph just before hitting. What is it with night time monsters this year? Every event.

Emulate this...

Yeah I've seen that on a couple streams, fwiw I've seen less lightning the past hour or so than earlier when the cell was nearer greensburg

It’s wild tracking the correlation coefficient about 2 miles wide wobbling like the eye of a hurricane.

Peculiar since there is so little lightning illuminating the tornadoes themselves til recently when this monster spun another wedge that was seen a few mins ago. As of 11:38pm CDT, the gtg is 210mph!

We aren't seeing any sustained high heat and humidity until at least mid-June, which, at that point, is kind of climo for SNE anyway. I think we will get our share of swamp ass days but mostly 80's not 90's. Lame severe season and then lame tropical season is a general rule. I'm not an ACATT guy. I like a warm summer and warm summer nights, just not extended periods of gross humidity. However, I guess I'm probably one of the few here, that is fine with sub-zero temps in the winter with no snow on the ground. Weather is fun, enjoy what you get.

I'd like to place an order for this upcoming week to finish out the month please

Was in Greensburg earlier staging. Ended up dropping farther south for the daytime stuff, but headed to Wichita for the night and the cloud to cloud lightning that cell is throwing off is insane. Just constant bolts, wish I could get a good video

a new tornado has formed south of Greensburg. The tornado that just missed Greensburg has been large

Here is the high rotation south of Greensburg a half hour ago, with some TDS visible

That doesn't look good

Agree. If we can avoid a lot of rain, outdoor activities, other than beach related things, can still go on. Hiking, golfing, bike riding are all good in cool, dry weather.

Its just easy to frame it around two major holidays. Also, the amount of daylight contributes to the feel of summer or not. A lot more daytime to work with in June than mid to late August. Most colleges and some schools start in Aug, and places start to lose their seasonal employees too. There's only so much potential time to the summer window, cant afford to sacrifice any just because the early parts may not be reliably hot. But I get it, in terms of beaches in this region I don't get too excited about it until July, mainly because of water temps.

OT but Tornado emergency for Greensburg,Kansas. Same place that got hit by an F5 back in 07 I believe it was. Geez.

Tornado Warning for Denton/Collin Counties right now with that long-track supercell. It's only radar indicated for now. Also, a separate Severe Thunderstorm Warning for destructive winds (80 MPH) just went out for the same cell. It should slip by just to my north though.

Tornado emergency for Geensburg.

So there is a confirmed large wedge tornado heading towards Greensburg KS, north movement, at night, also in May - WTF!?

Couldn’t be any different than last year. Last two weeks of May into first few days of June were generally amazing. Went to Newfound lake last few days of May into June and it was legit a mid summer feel.

Not great, but if it’s dry, You’ll have shots at 65-70

Also, add in that the area it had originated from had missed out on activity with the event on the previous day. With the resurging dry/drought conditions lately, it just happened to be a perfect situation that the severe t'storm activity had collapse in that exact area.

Today, we saw some widely-spaced intense tornadoes, but not a lot happened in the mid-Kansas area that was most highlighted, as all tornado reports are a long way from Wichita. Tomorrow's outlook has an enhanced outlook for hail, wind, and tornadoes
