  1. I think the SPC could go with marginal or slight in Minnesota tomorrow, as you discussed. As for Thursday evening, there will be excellent severe weather parameters near the low pressure and warm front near Minneapolis and La Crosse WI. I think the SPC's day-2 discussion will be considering an enhanced risk near there.
  2. Maybe the snow won't freeze the plants too bad. Let's hope.
  3. I saw the lunar eclipse quite nicely as it was just a bit above the trees when it started last night, and clear skies.
  4. An early day MCS, with possible severe winds and hail is likely to affect the area of some of the Missouri/Arkansas people on this board. There may be later-day development of severe storms in eastern Oklahoma update: SPC retains enhanced risk for southwest Missouri DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO THE OZARKS...
  5. In South Dakota today, this incoming squall looks like a wall of dirt (I think it's mostly clouds and rain, maybe dirt) and then the video looks black after this. I'm sure it wasn't as black as night in reality.
  6. really a huge blowup of convection today last 24 hrs (radar data only)
  7. this group of storms has gone from central Nebraska and now is seen on Duluth's radar, continuing with wind reports at some 68 kt winds shown in the clouds on base velocity, where the radar sees the wind the best.
  8. We've got a derecho, most likely, considering the strict official definition of the word derecho. There are a huge amount of storm reports in the same area. Some of these are from the morning in Minnesota.
  9. There have been measured wind gusts of 90mph + at Madison South Dakota and Madison Minnesota!
  10. Now, KFSD radar showing 80-100 knots base velocity of the rain within the line of storms at the state border. I think a few areas get 80-100mph wind gusts Yes, I know knots are not miles per hour, but hey, this actually kind of makes sense as the measured surface winds are a little below the measured base velocities.
  11. New tornado watch in northeast South Dakota, that shows 70% probabilities of 10 or more wind reports, also the same with hail, and moderately high probabilities of tornadoes, EF2-EF3 tornadoes, as it makes sense with the outlook for today.
  12. A squall line is already getting going at Broken Bow, Nebraska. Dew points up to 70 at Huron, SD and Sioux Falls, SD. this probably needs a severe storm watch right now
  13. NWS blacksburg confirmed a EF1 tornado south of Wentworth
  14. Maybe around 1.0" of much needed rain for me, and about 1.29" since the beginning of the month. Some of these storms have been generous to the Plains. We can say there has been some drought relief for northern Kansas and Nebraska. At least this chart says my area got 100% of average precipitation over two weeks.
  15. Funnel cloud at Norfolk south suburbs, VA
  16. It does look like tornado debris has been on the radar south of Wentworth, NC.
  17. extreme northern North Carolina radar most likely detected a TDS in this vicinity, Walnut Cove to Mayodan/Madison
  18. possible hail up to 1" west of Raleigh NC right now. (0.75" reported) I wouldn't be surprised to see a tornado warning west of Raleigh or perhaps east, near Williamston or Greenville NC, given the overall scenario with higher parameters in the area.
  19. Enhanced outlook for the tornado (10%) and wind (30%) for parts of Virginia and North Carolina. The tornado 10% area includes areas near Richmond into northern North Carolina. The wind outlook is a larger 30%.
  20. There was a tornado report with injuries noted at the small town of Brachfield Texas, time was 1924z or possibly a bit later.
  21. west of Shreveport radar- Henderson Texas, confirmed tornado warning
  22. only remaining tornado warning now, non confirmed tornado/tornadoes east of Okemah. You would have to use Tulsa radar to see what is going on.
