    Many areas around DFW got around 2" of rain, but some storm cells must have sat over Dallas for a long time.

    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.

    There was a tornado about 4 miles east of Orlando ( 7:30PM eastern)

    This storm was between Buffalo, SD and Faith SD, with a brief 80 dBz

    Last night, an MCS in Missouri was moving westward, and a squall line in Kansas was moving eastward. They met up, and some storms formed a bridge between them. Coming up later today and Saturday, the SPC has an enhanced risk outlook for South Dakota on both days.

    There are possible tornadoes near Wells, MN and Rowan, IA right now. The storm cells is so small, the moderate/heavy rain may be falling in a 2mi x 4mi corridor in both.

    a storm near Columbia SC may have 2" - 3" hail in it.

    I guess this is the rotational signature west of Belmont, NC

    14 tornado reports yesterday was the highest daily total since 4/23.

    We've had a couple of tornado warnings east of Pueblo CO that have been for confirmed tornadoes tonight.
  11. Chinook
    There are 4 tornado warnings right now in the same area. In the past 3 days, there have been 3 tornado reports on the SPC storm reports.

    60 mph wind gust at Lima, OH (airport)

    The SPC has put out a day-3 slight risk for the Red River area. The forecast soundings have around 75 kt of 0-6km shear, if any (high-based) storms develop there. The College of Dupage GEFS page shows higher supercell indices on Wednesday 5/13 and Thursday 5/14, as well as several days beyond that. I don't know how many people usually look at the GEFS for this, but it might be interesting.

    SPC's web page is breaking all over the place.

    Radar base velocity shows up to 75 knots aloft heading for Nashville
  16. Chinook
    There have been about 9 recent severe wind reports with this line of storms, nearing the Mississippi River.
  17. Chinook
    Severe cell in SE Illinois near Shelbyville - radar data showed that 60dBz went up to 30,000 ft. Hail was estimated to be 3", but no hail of that size was reported.

    I downloaded Nexrad level-2 data to make this 3-d image of the Moore tornado, 5/20/2013
  19. Chinook
    Eastern Iowa could get several severe storms, with a chance for tornadoes. The SBCAPE may only reach 1000-1800 J/kg, which is generally kind of low, considering the SHARPpy-based soundings seem to have high CAPE numbers a lot of times.

    I guess this is the TDS for the confirmed tornado near Rome, TN. it's possible the tornado went over I-40

    Yesterday was the 9-year anniversary of some terrible tornadoes in NC, including this one that went through the city of Raleigh. I downloaded some data from NOAA to make this map. I hope this never happens again. The year of 2011 just had a way of making tornadoes go through cities.

    Not sure if anybody replied Here's what I use
  23. Chinook
    Models are generally showing a deeper warm sector developing near a low pressure/warm front on Easter Sunday, 12z. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of outlook for central/east Texas on Saturday. As for Sunday, I would expect possibly an enhanced outlook for Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
  24. Chinook
    I believe we should start a new general severe weather thread, since it's a new decade.
  25. Chinook
    Will storm chasers even be able to stay in hotels? I guess campgrounds could be open.
