Pretty strong rotation on the cell headed just north of Little Rock

Pretty wild depiction. HRRR can sometimes be very inconsistent with moisture returns, but in this particular case it has a large swath of 65 degree dew points up to northern IL.

First tornado warning of the day out for Western Arkansas.

You have a snow map? Never mind, it was posted in the New England thread and looks pretty good.

Inch here

Pretty nasty couplet headed towards Jefferson Texas. Edit; a bit broader on the last few scans

Closing in on an inch (on colder surfaces, though the pavement is covered as well) in Staten Island and snow is still coming down nicely. It's a shame that the radar shows a large lull in precipitation in about 30-40 minutes as the next batch will probably be rain or mixed precipitation.

Don't know where to post this, but there's a tornado emergency east of Houston. Massive debris ball with it as it passed on the eastern side of Deer Park.

Debris lofted over 15K on that Selma tornado, looks like it definitely did some damage as it moved through a fairly populated area.

This cell has been going for quite a while, and has looked impressive at times - though this is the first time it's confirmed.

Things are starting to get fairly active, though storm mode has been very messy so far.

Rotation is really tightening up on the Cell east of Gary City

Looks to have weakened or occluded on the last scan. Looked really nasty before that.

PDS warning with the cell east of Clark. Very large TDS with that one.

This cell looks very impressive, the couplet is tightening up considerably. It has some junk to its south though so we'll see how it evolves. Edit; now has a small TDS

While it probably doesn't matter in regards to frequency of storms, there are definitely some climate factors that can be directly attributed to stronger storms. An easy one is heavy rainfall and flash flooding, though that's not what's being discussed here. Either way, people have to use common sense and trust that the NWS/NHC has nothing but their best interests in mind and even if they're not perfect (weather isn't en exact science) you should probably still take their warnings seriously. If you evacuated and your city/town was mostly or completely spared, just thank the lucky stars and move on. Distrust for government agencies is at an all-time high, and while some of it may be deserved, you don't get to complain if you're told to get out but don't.

Really makes me wonder how areas that were never in the eye went through

Englewood, then east and NE to Port Charlotte and North Port is where I expect the most wind damage from.

This is in Punta Gorda, where it took a while for the western eye to come in. It was probably worse (and far longer-lasting) a bit NW of there.

Jumped back up to over 6' after falling to about 4.5' a few minutes ago.

Winds picking up there as well after a brief lull, the same gauge now shows gusts over 70 mph. Not sure why the surge drained out so suddenly.

Now dropping like a rock

North Port has been getting walloped by the northern eyewall for hours now, looks like a fairly sizeable city too (relatively to the intercostal ones like Englewood).
