IWXwx

I scrolled back my GRLevel 3

There is some broad rotation. IWX is getting reports of a possible tornado touchdown south of Angola in Stueben Co. EMA is reporting damage in that area.They are getting a survey team together. EDIT: When I say they, I mean IWX

Most likely. I believe that St. Louis averages about three 100° a year.

lol at the new 12z 3km NAM. Actual radar vs. the model''s simulated radar. Must have been some kind of initialization problem.

...and yet another t-storm warning for my county today with no severe weather, just a nice summer's night thunderstorm. At least my spotters weren't playing whack-a-mole like we did with the pulse storms this afternoon. I'm thinking 4 warned storms in a 7 hour period with no severe has to be some kind of record.

I seriously don't know why you take them seriously. If you a more accurate forecast, just get it from here. There are some seriously good mets/hobbyists that post here.

IWX issued a head-scratching 3 t-storm warnings for my county in a half an hours' time for some pulse storms earlier this afternoon. So of course, I had to deploy spotters just so they could report no hail and no winds reported over 20 mph.

I hope you guys score. We have had four days of slight risk or better in 2018 in NE IN and have nothing to show for it. Three out of the four times, I questioned SPC for including our area when guidance didn't look great to begin with.

I may be mistaken, but I'm not seeing the parameters for severe in the FWA area this evening. The CAMS look much better for NW IN/ORD than over here. Can anyone tell me what SPC is seeing that I'm missing to have the slight risk extend into our area?

I was freaking out until I saw that it is the CFS (Can't Forecast S@#t).

LOL at this MI TV weather guy getting upset with his cohosts over the Year Without A Spring. https://www.accuweather.com/en/videos/trending-now-videowall/michigan-weatherman-freaks-out-on-complaining-co-hosts/g1dgsxzje6gw3q_rayjiyzlwib_ynmxv

I found these one year ago today. This year, the woods floor is still brown, it's 32° and snowing at 2 PM. Major suckage.

Yes, I was going to point out that the latest run doesn't depict the double digit negative anomalies after Sunday-Tuesday like it had in previous runs, although it still shows an average of below normal temps for the next two weeks.

I just clicked through the GFS and other than the next couple of days and again on day 9, it depicts below to well below normal temps right on through 384. 2018, the year without a Spring.

I know that the meaning behind the point-n-click forecast, but I always have chuckle when I see this. I have wonder what Joe Public thinks when he sees it. Tuesday A 30 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 50.

Following a long, boring winter for this part of the Midwest, I might as well start off the Spring complaint thread by moaning about getting fringed by SNOW this morning and it looks like it will happen again this weekend. So winter kicks sand in my face by fringing me with storms to my SOUTH.... in MARCH. Spring, oh Spring, where art thou?

Hey! Good to hear from you! A few of us were worried about you since you haven't been on here for awhile. I'm glad that you had a good eclipse experience and vacation. Thanks for being able to take a little friendly ribbing about age. This coming from a guy who's no spring chicken compared to most of the posters here. I'll be starting a thread about 2024 soon. lol

Wow, that is amazing. I believe Indystorm took pictures (cave paintings) of that one. I haven't checked closely, but I believe we'll be on the northern edge up here for 2024.

TWC

It's too bad they can't issue polygon warnings like they do for severe weather. After all, why treat winter weather differently? It may not be needed for synoptic snows, but LES is often so geographically specific, it would be warranted. EDIT: I just saw OHweather recommend the same thing in his last sentence. It only makes sense.

A similar situation happened at Benton Harbor is SW MI. They stayed clear and hit -15°. That temp was verified by IWX. Surrounding stations didn't bottom out due to cloud cover.

We have an ordinance that all new mobile homes and modular (prebuilt) homes must have SAME radios installed. However, I suspect that a majority of people never turn them on or turn them off after the first time they hear the "annoying" warning tone.

In 2003, a funnel cloud was spotted north of Hartford City, IN. I was on the south side of town and headed north to try try to intercept the storm as a part of Skywarn/EMA. As I drove through town, not just a few, but dozens and dozens of people were standing outside along the street and on their porches trying to catch a glimpse of the the funnel as the sirens were blaring. The sirens are supposed to warn people to take cover. Instead, I felt like I was in a parade with all of people along the street. We work very hard to save lives and protect property, but sometimes it gets frustrating.

I am currently showing 27 tornado warnings on my GR. Wow.
