EF1 confirmed NW of Sopchoppy with that, it seems damage was limited to trees. NOLA tornado apparently hit some businesses in the Arabi district that had just finished rebuilding from the March EF3.

Pretty out this morning. Driving into work at 3AM on the fresh wet cement sucked, but the roads improved rapidly especially once the plows came through.

Hoosier daddy?

He's quickly become one of my favorite YouTubers. I've learned a lot from him already that I think will improve my chasing.

MKX surely does not have Madison getting a foot by 06Z Friday.

Where is that trough in April with 75/68 in the warm sector? Although, given recent history, that may not matter.

Smallish supercells ongoing in the Oklahoma panhandle/extreme SW KS, multiple tornado warnings on them. 2.5" hail reported in Beaver County, OK. Nocturnal destabilization is being driven by strong cooling aloft despite modest moisture. CAPE is meager but concentrated in the low levels which is ripe for development.

Some of the forecast hodographs/SRH values being spit out by the NAM over portions of LA/MS for Tuesday evening are pretty scary in the presence of any instability at all and dewpoints in the mid-upper 60s.

MKX radar shows nothing, but there is steady rain in the Portage-Wisconsin Dells area. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

That seems worthy of a snow squall warning to me.

It'd be nice to get one of these patterns like the one progged for early next week in, say, late April or early May. But of course that is when the winterlike 500mb pattern will set in.

Remember what I said about have a holly, jolly tornado chase? Forecast sounding near Beardstown/Macomb, IL. Yes, it's a week out but verbatim the pattern is eerily similar to last December 15th.

Late November through 1st half of December is the new May. Have a holly, jolly tornado chase.

Kinda sorry I missed that, but I'm currently at a resort in Puerto Morelos, Q.R., Mexico and just had my first ever professional massage earlier today, so I'm not really jealous. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Stayed at work 45 minutes late today as we were in wall to wall until the last warning expired for the Madison media market. Our met at first assumed they'd warned for a cold air funnel. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Apollo 12 was struck by lightning twice immediately after liftoff, and not only survived but successfully completed its mission to the Moon.

This is basically a Wilma-sized storm hitting the more populated area that Charley did with roughly the same intensity.

How else do you think everything is reported in nice, clean 5 or 10 kt/MPH increments? Another example, you will never see a 55 MPH advisory intensity with a tropical storm because 45kt converts to 51.79 MPH which rounds down to 50 MPH; and 50kt = 57.54 MPH which rounds up to 60 MPH. The same thing happens with 95 MPH, 135 MPH, and 170 MPH.

More hot towers firing up on the last few frames of the IR loop, Ian doing more work on its already impressive eyewall.

Global model resolution isn't high enough to accurately model pressures in intense TCs. Values from the GFS and especially the EURO and UKMET shouldn't be taken verbatim.

Where's @ldub23? How's that TS at landfall looking?

Nice one, considering NHC doesn't report 135 MPH since they do everything in kts then round. Thus 115kt rounds to 130 MPH and 120kt to 140. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Seems there's almost always some sort of steering breakdown/stall/sharp turn involved right around landfall that complicates the forecast. Harvey, Irma, Florence, Dorian, Sally...now Ian. Storms that just truck right on across the coast like Andrew or Charley seem to be the rare exception (Micheal being the only such case in recent years*, perhaps not coincidentally it's also the only one in their league regarding LF intensity). *Well, actually Laura and Ida too...A.K.A. the shrimp folk storms.

Gutsy call given the bulk of the modeling remains just offshore followed by a stall and limping into the NGOM/Big Bend coast while being sheared apart. Still would have some significant impacts, no doubt and a weenie-tastic nail biter of a forecast.
