On my excursion to Food City I saw one guy that made me proud.  He was in a little late 80s Ford Ranger, loaded down with miscellaneous stuff in the back with CHAINS on the rear tires.  My dude was also obeying the stop signs and traffic lights.  

I know this truck I ain’t no stranger I know that truck it’s a FORD FUCKIN RANGER 

In Clarksville, in the snow hole, watching it snow all around me. 

Hey y’all - where do I go to follow along with the models? Usually I only use tropical tidbits during hurricane season. But I’ve found myself now living about 45 min north of Nashville. I don’t typically follow winter weather. Which models to ignore for being weenied out always, which are best - and where do I find the best maps for following along the windshield wiping trends? 

I’m definitely ready for fall weather. Tomorrow will be 79° but then low 90s for the foreseeable future. Wish I could change my username. 

This gif on Twitter was too incredible not to share in here with you all.

Thanks! This will miss them to the NE yet again. Tyler tonight imo got incredibly lucky. Major population center had a tornado on radar overhead. 

I'm really, really, really glad to hear that they got lucky again. Truly. Not just your parents but the entire city. I hope the luck continues through the whole season.

Parents in NE Texas about to be in their 5th tornado warning in the past 4 weeks. That should get some award.

Goodness. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure they are getting very weary. My thoughts go out to you and them.

NWS Fort Worh asked them for a verification, like @*IndyMeso* did.

 

But this is not the biggest ever confirmed, the Texas state record is 6.4 inches near Hondo in April 2022, Burkburnette had 6 inch hail in 2020.

That is very wild. 6.4 inch hail. 5.5 is nothing to sneeze at either, though! What a picture.

This was posted earlier when Fort Worth asked for verification.

Thank you for sharing. Appreciate that.

5.5 inch hail has been confirmed in Salado, TX

Is there picture or video footage of this? How was it confirmed? Just curious, not doubting.

Quick question, and I'm sorry to ask - I did try to find this information on my own first. Does anyone have any idea on the timing of when the weather is supposed to get to the New Orleans area tomorrow? Even a guesstimate is fine.

Hey there - what site do you use?

You can experience the craziest weather (My Grandmother had to use the AC, then the Heater during the same day), have mostly rural views, & most of the time, you can see tornadoes coming from miles away.

 

And also, if you lived in Oklahoma long enough, your gut will tell you if really nasty storms are coming

Yeah, you're not lying. I lived there for 2 years, 8 seasons. The one summer I was there was the hottest summer on record of any city since they began keeping record (at least that is what all of the newspapers and meteorologists said). Then in the spring, I experienced 2 different tornados. One displaced me from my home, the other directly hit a hospital I was in with my 2 year old daughter getting her tonsils removed. Destroyed my car as well with baseball sized hail. Then, the winter of that same insane year came with massive ice storms, 3 different ones, and a huge blizzard. That was the 2nd year of me living there...the moment my lease was up I got the hell out of there. It was too wild for me. 

But, I definitely took that experience of the gut feeling with me. It'll never leave. Have you lived in OK before

Edit to say that I lived in Norman and then moved to Moore.

I wished you stayed in Oklahoma . . . 

Why is that?

Love your username! 

Thank you! I had put it as that when I was living in Oklahoma, there were so many ice and snow storms the one winter and all I could do was wish for some warmer weather. 

After that, I moved to Texas and answered my own prayers for warm weather, haha. Only two seasons there - summer and football. 

Now I'm in Tennessee with all 4 seasons, including snow again! Back to wishing for the warm weather. But, it is nice to have fall again!

I would expect 1-2”.  More than that would be a nice surprise. Hopefully it is more for all of TN.

 

That's kind of what I've been assuming. Kids should be able to make a better snowman with these 2 inches than they were with the 7 inches last time. It was terrible snowman snow. It's just wild run to run the massive disparities.

I just...these model runs are??!?!  At this point I'm about to stop looking at them, cause I think they are as confused as I am lmao

I'm ****ing baffled bro. Trying to figure out how much snow Clarksville area will get and

How long does the flight usually take? In response to Levi, NOAA says they left at 238aCST to head to Ida. Maybe it won't be a multi-hour gap as suggested.

What name the site

Here you go, this is a direct link to the Ida page: http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/adt/odt09L.html

I was about to say, looks bordering cat 5 to me based on SAT presentation..

It is the worst possible time to lose yet another recon flight, that is for sure.

Well, losing a engine would certainly be a good reason to not fly into a Cat 4 'cane. But what are we doing? Flying WW2 planes into hurricanes? It's 2021 for crying out loud. This program needs more funding.

Yes, what is going on! These planes have numerous issues season after season! I don't understand...are they old? Is it because they take such a beating? Funding severely lacking? But what is the excuse then for the AF planes, one would imagine there's no lack of funding there?

These planes are so imperative to keeping people safe, I just do not understand why they continue to be plagued with issues.

I...what. I have no words. Yesterday was "there's no time, shelter in place". 24 hours out, it's this. This is gross incompetence. I can't even grasp this.

https://www.nola.com/news/hurricane/article_3ed55acc-077f-11ec-a4e6-9bfb7e7c286b.html

They're not opening contraflow and saying residents should shelter in place. 

They will open shelters of last resort but not yet sharing the location. 

This is heart breaking.
