  1. Really shows you how the pattern in place during the Dust Bowl was able to bring such devastating dust storms
  2. Lapse rates aren't great and the storms are outpacing the better shear. If the shear was just a little more pronounced in the warm sector, I'd like our odds for more widespread severe weather.
  3. Need to remember we're transitioning from an El Nino to a La Nina
  4. Just insane. Watching that video though, the vortices were just incredibly powerful
  5. One thing to consider as well is that the Indy 500 is Sunday (I'll be attending as usual). Optimistic that morning rain will clear out in time for the 12:45 green flag and stay clear while instability grows for later in the afternoon. But, anyone chasing in Indiana will likely see packed interstates with 300,000 in attendance.
  6. Absolute monster on the radar. One of the strongest signatures I've ever seen within a line
  7. I almost wonder if threads need to be merged since it's on the edge of C/W as well. Regardless, some extremely strong wording coming from the SPC today. Looks like a lot of CIN still in the region, definitely need that to erode and instability.
  8. What a night for the TN Valley. My goodness this has been a prolific three days
  9. Thanks for providing this synopsis. Seeing the thermals initially at the surface the environment seemed absolutely primed, but I was not thrilled at the mid levels. Interesting it was less lake influence and more warming in the mid levels.
  10. A late day lake breeze pretty much saved Toledo. Put one of those major tornadoes in metro Toledo, we would have had a very bad problem
  11. Clearly two tornadoes confirmed by radar here
  12. Definitely deserving of a moderate risk today. Hot take, the NWS being in Norman, OK comes with biases
  13. What’s your thoughts on the Paulding county cell? Some better shear and helicity off to the east may help it tighten up fully IMO
  14. It looks like the Ohio Turnpike is sort of the line. Decent amount of CIN in place at the moment in the mid layers. I think the cell around Paulding, OH could stay tornadic until around Bowling Green
  15. STP’s are very high in NW Ohio at the moment. That Indiana cell could explode as it heads east. Only caveat is that the air seems drier in NW Ohio
  16. East wind off the lake may put a lid on this for Toledo proper. Areas to the south though… That Ft Wayne storm looks legit
  17. Fremont, IN just was hit by a large tornado
  18. Headed to Bowling Green, Ohio to chase. Instability isn’t even high where those large tornadoes are at the moment either SPC should consider a MDT as well
  19. Man the atmosphere around Findlay is absolutely juiced at the moment. Serious ingredients in play
  20. I'm glad someone brought this up. I can't hate on the High risk because it was a very small area that had it. Moderate would have been fine but we did get a truly violent tornado that was long tracked.
  21. If the lunchtime line can put a nice boundary down, it may get pretty dicey this evening. Van Wert to Findlay would be an outstanding place from a chase perspective to scout out.
  22. Idk if anyone buys into the “nudge theory” but that’s a textbook display north of Tulsa. Has to be a huge twister there
  23. Agreed. NW Ohio/rural SE Michigan and NE Indiana is very similar to Oklahoma, especially NW Ohio
  24. Still some CIN in the mid levels. What an impressive clash of air masses, you have a dryline featuring dews in the 20's running into a near tropical airmass with dews into the 70's. The LCL's are absolutely ground scraping, especially into East OK/KS at the moment. This evening certainly has a chance to be historic
