    This is news to me. Although, as @Hoosier said in response to @Chicago Storm, "more active" relative to what we've been in isn't saying much.

    MKX also issued their first SVR warnings of the year today. No reports in the area, though. Like all the other "rain" events this week, just a brief sprinkle in MBY. Pretty unusual (and depressing) to go through an entire spring without even one good gully-washer of an MCS here...and no prospects of such for the foreseeable future.

    At 1630Z SPC expanded the upper Midwest marginal risk so Madison is just barely included in the 5% wind. Event of the year.

    More confirmation it's been boring AF. https://www.weather.gov/mkx/wisconsintornadoes Seriously considered cancelling my RadarScope Pro subscription...but of course it renewed today.

    Starting to notice patches of grass turning brown here, as well. We got about a month this spring where everything was nice and green.

    At least the mask stockpile will be good for something until the next pandemic.

    Teensy little shower right over my apartment building. First actual rain I've seen this week, but it won't amount to more than like .001 inch.

    Yes, I have. This is a male, smaller than the females yet still by far the largest wasp I've ever seen:

    Need some of these. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphecius_speciosus

    Yeah this humidity with relatively scant precip is going to be brutal. Somebody please wring the atmosphere out like a g*****n sponge.

    Every year I keep thinking that and every year it's more of this crap. Even the much-anticipated stretch in 2019 underproduced. Yes there was Dayton in this sub but most of the days turned out underwhelming compared to their ceiling. I was thinking Northern IL was primed for Rochelle 2.0 that day (and was actually chasing this time), but the surface winds veered.
  12. CheeselandSkies
    True, but just as a rough proxy for activity levels.

    This chart reaffirms the perception in my memory that 2008 was awesome. Unfortunately I was 22, just out of college, and didn't have the financial resources to chase. I was surprised to see 2006 so high, since that is almost universally reviled as an awful chase season. Your post explains things, guessing that was the outbreaks on 3/12 and 4/2 responsible for most of those?

    ...but with like 15kt of deep layer flow, right?

    That's surprising since 1993 was the year of the epic upper Mississippi flooding. Of course, this year we are also seeing how stark the dividing line between the precip haves and have-nots over a short distance in this region.

    Fresh from busting hard in KS, staying the night in DDC which seemed like a good jumping off point for tomorrow but now that looks to be trending down as well. Yet another sign I should just give up this f***ing hobby. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    Heading out this afternoon, target for tomorrow still somewhat up in the air. Either south-central NE or western KS. Then I'll be in position for Thursday's action, as well.
  19. CheeselandSkies
    Could possibly expand this to include Wednesday, as well. The two days might be a fairly noteworthy event all told. Friday and the weekend are still rather nebulous, a few GFS runs depicted potential huge days in that timeframe (like Plains-wide 3KM EHI ≥10) but it seems to have backed off on that.
  20. CheeselandSkies
    Yeah, I have this week off and am looking into Wednesday as a chase day, and possibly Thursday-Friday. GFS has been very up and down on the weekend, and my fiancee would rather I not be gone that long.

    Spring, henceforth known as "the season I used to look forward to because of its active weather."

    Some thunder, please. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    Felt a little woozy overnight but good for now. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    2nd shot of Moderna today. 6.5 hours in, slightly stiff upper arm where the injection was done but nowhere near as sore as the first time. First one was as bad or worse than a tetanus shot.
  25. CheeselandSkies
    Such a stark divide between the haves and the have nots. You expect this with snow, but geez. So far this "wet" period hasn't done as much to chip away at our deficit as I'd hoped. We need a big booming MCS that pours and roars for an hour or so.
