  1. I think there's a possibility for a damaging squall line in SW Michigan. This model run is not really an outlier or anything like that.
  2. So, how do the 00z model runs change the outlook significantly?
  3. My area had a brief rain shower last night, and today, we had a couple of thunderstorms (no hail.) Tomorrow, the Front Range may see some more areas of thunderstorms, with large hail as a possibility. It is nice that it's not totally dry recently. At least my area is getting close to average for rainfall, with, probably at least 1.52" for the month.
  4. This squall line has already produced several severe wind reports in the last hour, and intensify to produce many more severe wind reports.
  5. possible 2-3" hail with increasing rotation northeast of Great Bend, KS
  6. Up to 7000 J/kg today, and it's only 1:00PM Central
  7. I am a little surprised that they upgraded to moderate risk today (wind, hail only)
  8. Many areas around DFW got around 2" of rain, but some storm cells must have sat over Dallas for a long time.
  9. One Arizona wildfire has grown to 151,000 acres at the same time a COVID-19 troubles.
  10. I was looking at the radar for a thunderstorm in Amarillo, and then I came upon something I hadn't thought about for a long time. Coming from the north, US-87/287 splits into two streets southbound, two streets northbound. It then combines into a single street that is US-87. Then US-87/I-27 goes to the south of town, but US-287 goes east, after combining with I-40 at the large interchange. US-287 then splits away from I-40.
  11. Sunset last night was a little red, possibly due to forest fires in Arizona.
  12. A couple of days ago, I was going to post about how hot it is going to be. Today, I found some GEFS runs that show a cool and wet period coming up. So maybe this could be a nice (short) period of drought relief for CO/KS, possibly NM and WY. The way things are going, it is going to take many months to get out of the drought in southern Colorado.
  13. By the way, it snowed yesterday, north of Lake Superior
  14. This happened a few hours ago at Sandusky, OH. It must have been something like a 100mph wind to break through bricks. source: https://www.wkyc.com/article/weather/severe-weather/look-storms-severely-damage-sandusky-state-theater/95-6e570ecd-3488-4c91-9aa0-af4fe5c48682
  15. Possible tornado in Ohio, about 25 miles northeast of Ashland, Kentucky. (Ohio River valley.)
  16. 1" hail reported somewhere near downtown Detroit.
  17. This cell produced 2" hail at Bryan, OH. That's gotta shred some soybeans.
  18. It kind of looks like a supercell is developing near Defiance, OH. Weak rotation at this time.
  19. My parents texted me and said it was 97 degrees in Toledo. Maximum temperatures (Mesowest plot)
  20. Nearly all convection-allowing models produce helicity tracks through MI, IN, and OH tomorrow. 0-6km shear should be 40kt- 50kt throughout the region of the cold front.
  21. Some of the storms/ supercells looked pretty good today in the Plains severe weather threat. The storms seemed to fire up right next to each other and merge somewhat. I don't think the enhanced risk verified for hail. There were only 2 tornadoes in Nebraska, which may have effectively verified a small-area enhanced tornado risk.
  22. To me, today was sort of an unexpected tornado risk. I never thought the parameters would be this high, and the 500mb pattern is pretty strange, too. We've got a couple of severe-warned storms near the front in Nebraska.
  23. My area had wind gusts and quickly dropping temperatures after the cold front. Then, at about 9:45PM, the temperature had fallen to about 45 degrees, and a hailstorm came in with 0.25" hail, wind gusts of 40 mph, and lightning. Then, I think we just had some rain with maybe some lightning, with continued wind gusts over 30mph. there was snow in Laramie and also in most areas of the mountains.
  24. I saw that this had been retweeted by Reed Timmer (map is from the SPC)
