I see this thing going down drastically in May. Social distancing seems to be making a positive impact and most are taking this seriously. I think banning people from parks and stuff is too extreme though, if anything just arrest people for not staying 6 feet apart

I don't see us here in Charleston getting too much in the way of severe weather unless that warm front hurries itself on through. Lots of good ingredients hanging out just offshore that would make this a true severe event. I notice the air is rather cold behind this front, only 50 degrees currently in Huntsville. That's some Ohio type of temperature for 3 PM a day from April

Tons of QLCS tornadoes in this line. I'll admit I am shocked how strong these helicity numbers are, but think the lack of instability north of Columbus, GA may be too much of hinderance for this to be very widespread. It is early in the afternoon though

Instability, shear and helicity seem to be just south of Albany, GA at the present time and hugging the bulk of the line racing through the south. If forecasts are to be true, may see quite a bit of warm sector action today in southern GA. IMO with the high likelihood of quite a few wind reports with that line, in addition to decent tornado chances ahead of it and embedded within, the SPC should go ENH ASAP

Would not be shocked to see some rotation with anything popping up along that front

A noticeably cooler period of weather upcoming for Charleston. I cannot believe how cool the upcoming week will be after constantly breaking 80 the last few weeks consistently. 62 for a high on Wednesday and then 70s for the foreseeable future

22 is still a pretty good outbreak for a single day.

Yeah at some places. Mostly though things are just getting wiped down constantly and our beaches are closed to non-residents. Other than that no one is really following these guidelines

Why have the cells looked so poor in IL and IA? Nothing has the robustness of what we have seen in the MS Valley today

It’s not Joplin. There were dead people laying on the ground everywhere

No that’s June-August. Lol average high in May is still 83°. But then those summer months are 90+ daily with high humidity. It’s been a very warm March here however. We’ve hit 85 quite often, however Sun-Mon were 60° and cloudy. You have to remember CAD leads to us getting “wedged” quite a bit in early Spring

Feel bad for Chicago, Detroit and Toledo who are mired north of the front due to convection and the Lakes. It’s 87° here in the Charleston area currently

I wouldn’t be too let down by current conditions. This atmosphere will recover extremely quickly

If anything this is proof that America's healthcare system is superior to Italy's. We have more cases and far fewer deaths

One thing to consider is the almighty lakes. Typically it holds up advancing warm fronts, and I see no reason this is going to be different especially with precip and clouds ahead of the low

Best setup I've seen in years for you guys. I would absolutely be driving from OH to IL if I still lived there but I digress. I'm REALLLLLYYYYYY impressed with lapse rates for tomorrow. While chasing would be cool, you have to take into account that there will be some giant hail tomorrow. This kind of explosive growth should aid supercell development tremendously, and bring strong downdrafts down leading to quite a few tornadoes. A sub-990 mb low and dry line is some serious stuff for this area. Promising but kind of terrifying considering the possibilities it may bring. Would not shock me to see multiple long track tornadoes tomorrow in IL leading into a fierce MCV-Bow Echo that blows through IN/OH

This weather cannot make up its mind. Had all the windows open last night, put a little bit of a chill in the house when I woke up. Then tomorrow thru Sunday we'll have the AC on full blast

The big problem with this in America is our first test did not work. That was the greatest failure by our country, we simply do not prepare in case the testing does not work. That's like showing up to the golf course without tees, lol it's unreasonable to predict that. I think this thing will be on the down turn by the end of April, everyone seems to be taking it seriously enough that it should flatten the curve

Right. This isn't the Plains where you get extremely unstable atmospheres. 10 C°/KM is completely unstable correct?

I imagine there will be a pretty nice outflow boundary laid down as well. Helicity levels are pretty darn high for today with a decent environment

I think the warm air slows it down a bit, simply because UV light burns it off of outside surfaces and people are more inclined to naturally be distant from each other due to the nicer weather. Regardless right now I think we have a better chance of getting sick from these wild temperature swings, to go from 89 on Saturday, 61 yesterday and 59 right now is wild. Then Friday & Saturday we're right back at it making a run at 90.

China is kinda both of those things sir. As a person in supply chain I can tell you right now it is easily a dictatorial-capitalist society which holds them back severely

I'm saying people with lost incomes are going to be motivated to get out and rob people

The statewide shutdown is ridiculous and should be illegal. It is going to spread pure chaos similar to a hurricane, except there is nowhere to evacuate to. You'll literally have to be armed at all times if something like this were to happen as those who have lost their incomes will become incredibly desperate. I currently am keeping a firearm on me at all times when going into the store with how crazy things are. I mean heck people get mugged all the time during Black Friday, imagine true desperation
