More of a march/april look here than anything else, but loving the shear profile

hoping we get some more of an east trend, am pretty tired of getting 2am weakening MCSs, would at least like to see some lightning in the daytime

Looking like another impactful stretch of weather coming up, with Wednesday, as of now, having the highest ceiling. StormNet, CSU-MLP, and other ML products have all had very "hot" runs lately, pretty eyecatching stuff, especially as the northern bound of the highest prob area is over the same area that saw several tornadoes on Thursday. The GEFS has been consistent in showing an area of high P[SCP>1] over portions of Missouri and Illinois, even back into Kansas, for multiple runs now, while other models expand the risk further east towards Ohio. Regardless, very strong flow for this time of the year will overlap an area of ample moisture. Should be an interesting couple days.

Wednesday (Thursday to a lesser extent) looks thread-worthy, might get one going in a bit unless anyone else wants to jump on it

Eyeing next weds for a severe threat here in IL/IN/OH, longwave trough moving into the region, should be a great shear profile. funnily enough, biggest question IMO is how far east the best instability makes it.

2 tors likely otg SW of grand rapids

Tor for naperville

MKE terminal doppler looked pretty telling for a brief tor, will try and get a framegrab

insane pics coming out of that cell... will be interesting to see how it reacts to these mergers

agreed, wish it wasn't in such a radar hole, but very impressive mid-level meso eta: warned now!

some MCV magic it looks like in eastern MI today, quite a few tor warnings

interested in the june 15-17 timeframe for a few days of highs potentially in the mid-70s. ensembles have been trending towards a nice respite from the heat/humidity

monday could be interesting, surprised to see the csu come in this hot, but multi-day svr wx possible from the plains up to the upper midwest

the current fv3 RRFS (which afaik is the one rolling out as operational on aug 31) is not great. word on the street (twitter) is that the mpas RRFS is much better, but won't be operational for a while longer

Heading out monday to try and chase tuesday in E KS/MO, looks like a dismal pattern if you're a tornado fan, but could be daily chances for ISO svrs with good hail, which is what we're after. will be out for ~2 weeks, so looks like the pattern should become a bit more favorable after next weekend

could be wrong, but IMO there'll be more of these easterly EMLs than usual this summer, given the incredible drought out west.

Pretty aggressive wording on this SMW over Lake Michigan

Really, really rare to see this highest level contour on the CSU maps this far out

A rare (the first this season?) warm spring day here with very calm winds. usually we pay a price with these 60s/70s, but thankfully not today

just ripped snow here for about 3 minutes, hasn't dropped below 32 yet today, though.

Got this earlier as a cell crawled down from Clare. not a ton of lightning, but really crisp updrafts all around.

barely hit 70 today, but plenty of showers/weak tstorms around. campus wx camera has a nice view: http://weather.eas.cmich.edu/current/webcam/2026-04-16-17-56.jpg

Also, thinking they may go MDT with the 1630z update
