  1. I could see things absolutely going off about 5 hours from now. That's a very primed environment with an eroding CAP. Also if I'm not mistaken that low is deeper than modeled, already down to 994 MB in WC Kansas
  2. I would target Wichita tomorrow if I were out there. Seems like there's going to be enough lift tomorrow kick off some storms through that cap, and there is some serious wind aloft and moisture being pumped into the region with dews in the mid to upper 60s. I'd lean that late tonight/tomorrow morning we see a MDT risk as the ingredients in play do favor a strong tornado threat
  3. Only way to get this kind of heat in April is to pump it in up there
  4. Agreed. If I’m not mistaken Halloween last year was the first day I legitimately needed a hoodie
  5. There is some serious wind up and down this massive line. In Kentucky and Mississippi there’s for sure hurricane force winds
  6. What an ominous SPC outlook this morning. Not often they mention a risk of a violent tornado
  7. It looked like for 20-30 minutes it had a potential to put down a small tornado. Definitely a lack of wind shear and "storm crowding" affected the inflow once it got past MC
  8. Awesome video in my opinion because it shows so well what the "tightening of the couplet" looks like in real life. Rapid condensation occurring around the funnel at the LCL but a broad and general swirl in the cloud, yet intense rotation at the actual funnel itself. It's incredible how quickly the velocity of wind intensifies around a tornado, you go from a solid breeze at the inflow to insanity pretty quickly
  9. Honestly the bridges would be the best place to see it
  10. If 17 wasn’t such a damn mess this time of day I’d for sure drive to it. Also to the east of Moncks Corner is very sparsely populated forest
  11. Damn we might get a tornado by Moncks Corner
  12. Not violent, it's pretty difficult. From Mothers Day to Labor Day we really take on a fully tropical climate which lacks the wind aloft in sea breeze thunderstorms to put down anything. Also most stronger lows do not affect us as they go poleward as deepening occurs out of OK/TX in the winter and stay to the west of the Apps. It's certainly rare to see things line up, but when it does you have ample moisture to bring those LCL's down like yesterday
  13. Heck of a day down here and really we lucked out. Due to the water table (whole place is a swamp) basements are not something common at all in this region. Thank God this didn't head to around Charleston, you have a metro area the size of Dayton with absolutely no basements. Really a worst case scenario for violent tornadoes
  14. About to have a serious tornado event in the Lowcountry
  15. Agreed. I think we may just need to merge or something. If the instability can build a bit this afternoon the parameters are certainly there for a strong tornado, they already are in GA
  16. Really starting to bow out now. Gonna be a hell of a line racing through the South tomorrow
  17. Looks to be a solid two day event from Jackson to Charleston
