tv tower just went down, if you missed it on that stream

looks like its getting stronger, def. multi vortex

also good to remember days 4-8 is an area of 30% or higher risk

Note: A severe weather area depicted in the Day 4-8 period indicates a 30% or higher probability for severe thunderstorms within 25 miles of any point.

new outlook

...DISCUSSION... MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH DAY 7 /THU. 4-28/...WITH RESPECT TO A LARGE TROUGH NOW MOVING INTO/DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WRN CONUS. THE TROUGH IS FORECAST TO EJECT/EVOLVE SLOWLY EWD ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND ERN U.S. THROUGH DAY 7...AND AS IT DOES...AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL ALSO SHIFT SLOWLY EWD ACROSS THIS REGION.

WITH PERSISTENT SLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM ADVECTING GULF MOISTURE NWD...AMPLE INSTABILITY SHOULD BE AVAILABLE -- BEING ENHANCED EACH AFTERNOON IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DIURNAL HEATING CYCLE. WITH STRONG MID-LEVEL FLOW ACCOMPANYING THE ADVANCING SYSTEM...SHEAR WILL ALSO BE FAVORABLE FOR ORGANIZED/POTENTIALLY-SEVERE CONVECTION. AS A RESULT...A MULTIPLE-DAY PERIOD OF SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED...WITH THE MAIN THREAT AREA SHIFTING SLOWLY EWD WITH TIME.

WILL HIGHLIGHT A THREAT AREA FROM E TX NWD ACROSS THE ARKLATEX TO ERN OK/WRN AR/SWRN MO FOR DAY 4 /MON. 4-25/...WHERE RELATIVELY SUBSTANTIAL SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IS EVIDENT INCLUDING SUPERCELLS AND SOME THREAT FOR TORNADOES. A SIMILAR THREAT APPEARS POSSIBLE DAY 5...AS THE INITIAL SHORT-WAVE TROUGH EJECTS NNEWD AND A SECOND SHORT-WAVE FEATURE DIGS SEWD TOWARD/INTO THE BASE OF THE LARGER-SCALE TROUGH.

ATTM...SPECIFICS OF THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT GET MORE DIFFICULT TO DISCERN DAY 6 /WED. 4-27/ AND BEYOND...AS THE FRONT SHIFTS E OF THE MS VALLEY.

A little faster but at this point for the low's to only be apart by half a state, and both be in the same general location is pretty good.

only pretty good? thats awesome considering how far out

looks like im gonna miss out another chase because of work (work at 11pm monday, but have tuesday off-go figure
