  1. Ryan Hall chasers showing large tornado on camera at Bay, Arkansas
  2. 22 total tornado warnings, (Indiana, Wisconsin ones not shown)
  3. by the way, my place had something like 1" of rain in 2 hours this morning with lots of loud thunder, cold weather, elevated instability
  4. possible tornado by Moscow, Tennessee. (Moscow Russia shouldn't have severe probabilities tonight)
  5. developing an overhang and maybe splitting updrafts near Enid, OK
  6. Maybe we need some thread(s) soon for severe weather events in the central region, like today Enhanced outlook for tornado/hail/wind
  7. 3-D features of the storm that produced a tornado
  8. Ryan Hall says storm chasers are seeing a tornado here in NE Arkansas (confirmed tornado just issued)
  9. possible tornado with hail core aloft near Flora, Illinois
  10. possible tornado by Lafayette IN
  11. 45% non-hatched wind threat up to MI/IN
  12. As I mentioned before, I think the CIPS web site was down for quite some time last year, but it is back. The top analogs for tomorrow night have some severe reports. This highlighted one was a worse analog. It's Mar 1, 2017, with a 1000-storm report day (Midwest sector analogs) if you choose the southeast/south central zone in CIPS, then the computations are different, with Mar 31, 2016 being a good analog, high storm report analog day
  13. HRRR got a little excited for NW Ohio here. Still, though, the convection allowing models aren't too great for a 42 hour forecast
  14. My place had thunder at 1:00, with moderate rain.
  15. I guess it can't be 70 every day when there's 1"-2" of rain... or snow
  16. this is a range-height cross section of a large hailstorm (supercell) in Mississippi last night. There is an overhang of the huge reflectivity, indicating a large updraft, since it was a supercell. I am doing this because I re-downloaded the GRLevel2AE 21-day trial. (again) and I might as well post something from the 3D capabilities. (I probably won't pay for GRLevel2AE)
  17. It has been windier than average, near me. This reanalysis plot shows that the 925mb wind was 4m/s (8 knots) higher than average. The 925mb winds usually mix to the surface in the daytime/afternoon, so that's a good indicator that the surface wind has been 4-8 knots above average. I don't know if any particular data-system uses the NWS monthly climate-F6 data to find out abnormal wind speeds. (I've never heard of a calculation like that.)
