  1. Toledo has had 2 months of soggy rainstorms since Dec 29, as shown on this chart. Relatively little of this total precipitation was snow.
  2. a solid zone of snow on radar has transitioned to a few localized moderate snow bands
  3. preliminary storm reports are 3.5" to 6" (isolated) in northwest Detroit
  4. This must be wet snowflakes that are bright banding
  5. thundersnow on the radar screen as well as local airport observations at Adrian MI, Decatur IL
  6. well, this is in the Ohio Valley area... apparently this was a confirmed tornado, and a few more warnings in the Evansville region
  7. I found this preliminary information
  8. There have been preliminary tornado reports near Champaign, Plainfield, and Naperville
  9. new confirmed tornado near Meeker/ Johnson about 35 miles from Oklahoma city
  10. the radar's tilt-2 is doing a better job of picking up the debris as it is close to KTLX radar, and I suppose could even hit it
  11. confirmed tornado passed US77 highway on the south side of Norman
  12. Such a strange day for February. I've honestly never seen the shear parameters we've seen today with storms. I mean, 0-6km shear of 100 kt only happens with colder air, right?
  13. Oklahoma City confirmed tornado warning (I believe TDS occurred recently next to Mustang)
  14. possible tornado at the TX/OK border (same cell with the 114mph wind gust measured a while ago). The SPC mesoanalysis now has 1000 m2/s2 of 0-3km storm relative helicity here. confirmed tornado announced at 724pm central time
  15. New tornado may be forming west of Dodge City
  16. This tornado-warned storm is northwest of Dodge City and is on the edge of the CAPE. It's just so unusual to see severe weather so far west
  17. Here is radar right now, near the start of the severe weather event. Some non-thunderstorm wind gusts of 55mph-80mph have been in the region. I'm assuming some blowing dust is the reason that some stations report haze.
  18. this is the first analog from CIPS (last night)
  19. Behind the cold front and in front of the cold front. The colder air really does have a warmer part of the profile at 500mb that looks like a nose. It seems like winds could be 60kt-70kt just above ground in the Texas Panhandle.
  20. Snowfall totals, as discussed earlier in this thread
  21. wow, since 2002. Crazy. Which day of 2002? Excellent pics, although I'm sorry to hear this was so damaging. They had a couple of bits about this on the news here, and even said that upwards of 68% of Lenawee County is without power (or Hillsdale)?
  22. So, 58" is possible just today at Sequoia National Park. Got it.
