Check out those new towers...

Recon is finally departing. Looks like we'll have a fix in a few hours.

Convection really exploding in the northern portion of the circulation. Banding has improved considerably as well.

They may be overestimating the amount of shear coming from Gamma. It's really hard to see this not blowing up.

The GFS sounding though...

Delta is really starting to get that "look" to it this morning. Will be interesting to see if it can take advantage of the favorable conditions ahead..

Looks like the GFS wants to bring down another TUTT ahead of the system behind 97L and shear/land interaction eventually kill the system off. Pretty notable changes with regards to TCG in general, but we're still a long ways out from knowing is this has a shot at surviving past the islands. 97L should have a pretty decent environment in the Western Caribbean later this week, but we'll see it if it can slow down to take advantage of it.

Very nice pattern in the LR Could be a start to another active end to the month.

All Day 7 risks so far... http://tweetimgs.pmarshwx.com/pmarshwx/20160421/20160421022044.png

Looks like we're going to be busy again soon..

Maybe some more action next week.

Honestly, I don't think they knew any better. Some of the folks in the videos barely knew they were looking at a tornado.

One of my favorites of all time... Who says that tornadoes can't cross large hills? The structure is simply incredible.

Imagine how much worse this could have been if the northern MDT risk had actually verified? All in all, good job by the SPC.

Video just put up a few days ago by James Spann.

The morning derecho that preceded the outbreak was pretty insane as well. Many people forget about that aspect of the outbreak, but there were some here that though that all the left over convection would damper the potential outbreak.

To think that the Moore/Bridge Creek Tornado was a confirmed 318mph (possibly stronger) beast and did not leave any evidence of ground scouring like the Philadelphia tornado did, is just scary... The appearance of the tornadoes of that day will ALWAYS stick with me for the rest of my life. The insane amount of motion in each one just showed how ridiculous the atmosphere was that day. I have seen dinky little horizontal vorts on EF3+ tornadoes before, but the vorts on these tornadoes MUST have been able to do some sort of damage with how fast they were rolling and how close to the surface they actually were. Does anyone know if the NWS surverys found anything about this?

I remember watching this thread from the day it was started until many days after the outbreak had actually ended. Amazing info and events are in here. Somehow, this needs to be saved for good along with the Joplin thread.

Excellent pictures. Thanks for the updates!

That's horrible. Here's the LSR from a few minutes after it happened:

This is pretty awesome. .

Crazy...
