    24-hr precip may have been as much as 9-16" near and southwest of Galveston

    Maybe Oklahoma City is getting a very wet August? By the way, 87mph wind report near Piedmont, OK. I have heard that there was a probable tornado near Edmond.

    Japan's radar web site shows that the eyewall has tracked over Tarama Island recently. This is close to Ishigaki. https://www.jma.go.jp/en/radnowc/

    GFS has two storms in the next few days in the Pacific. Typhoon Lekima, farther west, is expected to be 130 kt (Category 4) near Ishigakijima, Japan and also at 80 kt near the Chinese landfall point (JTWC)

    Here is a map of the storm reports, up to 647pm eastern. There is one report of 3 waterspouts. Obviously this is a notable severe weather day for this area.

    There is a confirmed tornado near Lubbock. The radar images have looked even more impressive after the tornado was reported

    Possible tornado at Toone, Tennessee, 60 mi east of Memphis

    Several tornado warnings today. As mentioned before, there have been 2 tornado reports near Rienzi and Burnsville MS. Now this may be a tornado in one of the larger towns, Columbus. One tornado report at Artesia.

    33dBz and 44mph peak wind gusts for essentially blizzard conditions at Cleveland lakefront area - otherwise, fairly windy (10 mph - 30mph) inland, some areas of 33 dBz on radar.

    I drove from Akron to Toledo on Saturday, and I saw snow on the ground to about Sandusky. I think some instability snow existed in the general area.

    Central Texas rainfall of over 7" caused some rivers to go into flood stage

    Typhoon Trami, as viewed from the International Space Station (I think.) See twitter for animated image (very cool). Typhoon Trami effectively made landfall on Okinawa, Japan, and there are a lot of U.S. Military members there.

    Super Typhoon Mangkhut is now a textbook Category 5 cyclone, and JTWC predicts that it will impact the northern Phillipines (Luzon.) It might be a pretty close call with landfall
  14. Chinook
    Typhoon Jebi has been analyzed by the JTWC as 80 kt (down from 90 kt earlier today) and will most likely make landfall on Japan at Shikoku, (one of the 4 main Japanese islands,) west of Kyoto. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikoku

    I just saw a tweet about Super Typhoon Jebi, affecting the Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Territory.

    KFWS radar storm totals for the last 48 hrs. Perhaps some areas of Texas will be changed from D3 drought to D2 drought.
  17. Chinook
    KFWS storm total precipitation in the past 2 days and 9 hours
  18. Chinook
    Finally, Texas has already seen some moderate rains this morning, and should have more in the short term
  19. Chinook
    July 4, 2004 had quite a few storm reports from Kansas to western and central Tennessee https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/040704_rpts.html

    This was the biggest joke of a tornado watch. Almost no severe reports in it.
  21. Chinook
    SPC is expecting to issue a tornado watch for W Kentucky and western and central Tennessee.

    Radar image of Typhoon Maria, from Taiwan. This shows a lot of heavy rain bands over Taiwan. It is asymmetric Cat-2 to Cat-3 intensity at this time.
  23. Chinook
    Super Typhoon Maria (not to be confused with last year's Atlantic storm) has reached 140 knots as per the JTWC. This will weaken slowly as it approaches China and north Taiwan. (Taiwan on the west side of this map)

    It's not too often you find the 3000 -4000 J/kg of CAPE at the same areas as 50-60 kt of shear in June. And this almost shows a good overlap of these elements. It seems to be true that multicells/ squall line(s) will be likely tomorrow. It definitely could be more interesting (discussion-wise) to see more discrete supercells. Realistically, we may see quite a few severe storms with 30 - 45 kt of shear, as maybe those 50 kt values will be in the cold air sector.

    according to what I have heard, there was a highly damaging hailstorm in Dallas- Fort Worth
