Via Clint Hendricks. Apparently became a large stovepipe and then a cone after this.
-
Very reliable report here.
-
Tornado in progress near Lucerne MO, TDS, report from Colin Davis.
-
Central/southern part of the Chicago metro is getting rocked. Seeing a lot of 80-90 mph outbound bins from KLOT not too far off the deck.
-
The 3 km NAM has a 100 kt 500 mb max tomorrow in IA, I cannot recall very many systems at all with that in June @RCNYILWX.
-
Parameter space near/south of that warm front in the backed surface winds tomorrow is alarming for any semi-discrete storms that can maintain themselves in the area. While there certainly are some caveats such as storm mode, degree of HP dominance given less than ideal venting flow and high PWATs, and prior convection, the high population and potential for relatively fast moving storms makes this likely the most dangerous setup so far this year on paper.
-
That is quite a potent shortwave on the 12z Euro for Thursday with a 90+ kt 500 mb max, especially for June. Morning convection will rule the roost as usual, but I would expect a pretty widespread and potentially significant severe event given the magnitude of the flow overlapping strong instability.

Potential Sever Weather Outbreak 4/27/2026

PDS tornado watch out for the area surrounding the MS/OH River confluence. 80/80 tornado probabilities. -
Potential Sever Weather Outbreak 4/27/2026
andyhb replied to pen_artist's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Probably worth pointing out that the 12z HRRR has a) a lot of morning convection and b) what is likely a significant tornado outbreak later across E MO and W IL. The outflow restricts some of the spatial extent of the threat, but recovery occurs quickly given the strength of the wind fields. -
Potential Sever Weather Outbreak 4/27/2026
andyhb replied to pen_artist's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Very strong wording in the latest D3 for Monday, got the feeling this ends up as a D2 MDT. -
00z model guidance in so far certainly does nothing to quell concerns for Monday. Could be a widespread outbreak based on just about everything I'm seeing, and the trough/EML looks to favor discrete convection for a pretty lengthy window. Going to need a dedicated thread for this soon.
-
Potential for a large scale severe weather event from the Lakes southward into the Mid South appears to be increasing for Monday (4/27, go figure) based on recent model guidance. EML looks potent across a large area with plenty of moisture, a favorable trough ejection (as of now), and strong shear across a large expanse of real estate.
-
I'm not so certain there won't be a few supercells further south into N IL, although things may be a bit more mixed out down there so the tornado threat is less. Haven't looked much into the QLCS threat yet, but I'd imagine with strong shear and strong instability that it is certainly elevated. Oh and the 18z NAM is not just bordering on a tornado outbreak in WI, it is one.
-
18z HRRR and 12z MPAS variants are bordering on a tornado outbreak in WI tomorrow. The former would be a huge problem for the I-94 corridor.
-
Tornado just went right through the middle of Clinton MO. Using this thread since it's the same system.
-
The EML on Friday morning/early afternoon is ridiculous and should raise alarm bells for anyone familiar with what is necessary to get an outbreak in the Midwest.
-
Friday could be a very volatile severe weather event up north in IA/WI/N IL/E MN based on what I'm seeing come off the latest guidance. Going to almost certainly need a thread for it.
-
This storm has been officially rated as a Category 5 on the RSI scale for the Upper Midwest. It is the first Cat 5 for any region since Jan 2016, the first for the Midwest since GHD 2011, and it is the highest value on the RSI achieved for any region since the Jan 1996 Nor'easter.

For lack of a more scientific analysis, holy shit.

Man that would be a massive bust if it verified.

Getting a lot of 2/24/2016 vibes from both the outlook and the model progs/soundings for Monday, which of course was a widespread severe outbreak for the region, including some strong tornadoes (e.g. Appomattox VA EF3).

Some pretty jaw dropping wording from the headlines of the latest AFD from NWS Marquette. This thing is going to be a truly remarkable (and dangerous) storm for even the winter-hardened folks of the UP.
-
12z NAM was an outbreak of severe storms across the SE into the Mid Atlantic Sunday evening through Monday. There is a very large area of high shear and sufficient CAPE overlap showing up here.

Another death has been unfortunately found in a damaged home in Aroma Park from the Kankakee-area tornado.

18z GFS casually with 6 feet of snow near Marquette. Ungodly with the lake enhancement to boot.
