  1. Sure would have been nice if it came with some Gulf moisture and storm chances.
  2. Dust blowing around like Oklahoma in the 1930s out there today.
  3. Seems like it's a given there every spring. Plains/MW not so much. * I will say, awfully nice to come on here and see five weather threads above "Coronavirus."
  4. We'll see how things look in a month, but would have been nice if things would have gotten going a bit earlier.
  5. Well, these last few days have saved it from being totally pathetic, but this April will still come in at only a little over 1/3 of average for tornado count, and just two EF3+ with this one added.
  6. Little popcorn showers lighting up across southern WI now. Wasn't really expecting anything today. They're small, scattered and brief but at this point we need every drop we can get.
  7. Except the early week storms in Wisconsin missed here to the north.
  8. Never confirmed by radar (TDS) or spotters. IMO that wording shouldn't be used unless it is (confirmed). Edit: Looked like there might have been a TDS there at 0224 and 0226 UTC, but the warning statement didn't include that. They said "radar indicated rotation" instead of "radar confirmed tornado."
  9. 48 in Milwaukee rn, so glad I no longer live there.
  10. IMO it should look and feel outside like it does here rn every day from now until the summer solstice.
  11. Seems to be the default mode now. How bogus is it that we have a warm front draped across southern Wisconsin in late April, we're expected to nearly hit 80, and we don't have a substantial threat? My lifelong interest in following the weather is rapidly dwindling.
  12. Like last Friday, should be a good day for the OK/TX-based chasers to get out and maybe (long shot) luck out with a storm like that Quanah/Lockett one. Not really worth traveling from outside the area, especially since it's looking like a one-and-done as opposed to a sequence of chase days (might be something somewhere Wednesday but details are looking very nebulous at this point).
  13. 12Z 3KM NAM has a nice fantasy warm front rider in northern Illinois Wednesday afternoon.
  14. I've heard rumblings just a few days ago of the MJO going through a favorable progression for CONUS severe weather. Is this no longer expected to happen, or are there other factors at play that are expected to negate its impact?
  15. Not quite sure how most local mets (MKX/broadcast) along with SPC are totally dismissing severe potential into the upper Midwest region Tuesday afternoon/evening with forecast soundings like this:
  16. NAM isn't real impressive for Tuesday afternoon/evening. Has pretty much zero instability over the area where SPC has the threat outlined.
  17. Tuesday evening is within NAM range now, it joins how the GFS has been for quite a while with this system in portraying not much CAPE despite a broad warm/moist sector. Ironically it likewise shows one of the more unstable areas being over MBY, while the local forecast office and broadcast mets have not sounded impressed on severe potential around here.
  18. KFDX live coverage: https://www.texomashomepage.com/live-stream/ I think that's the guy I watched after stumbling into a shady motel room in Wichita Falls on 5/20/19 wondering what the heck just happened.
  19. Hearing them talk about "two tornadoes" down, but can't see anything due to buffering. Radar looks impressive, though.
  20. If this storm holds together on that track it could be a threat to the Vernon, TX area. Good thing parameters don't really support long-track tornadic supercells in that area today, but something to keep an eye on.
  21. Oh nice, that is a Plains classic. Already better than 5/20/19, lol.
  22. I admit the first couple months of total lockdown were pretty depressing, and that was just from stir-craziness. My fiancee and I were never at risk of losing our livelihood (I'm in broadcast media, she's a social worker).
  23. TOG, nice classic funnel. Edit: Brief, but looked good for a minute there.
