What a beadt

Actually a pretty rural area, some small towns, but shouldn't run into anything major for a while, other than the interstate

At 1155 AM CDT, a severe thunderstorm was located near Brunswick, or 9 miles north of Slater, moving northeast at 70 mph.
These storms are moving fast. Going to make chasing rather challenging for those who go out.My understanding is that fast storm motion can inhibit tornado formation as the updraft is continually being disrupted. If my memory serves anything over about 50 mph is when this starts coming into play. Just something to watch, but there are certainly exceptions to this rule, as fast moving tornadoes are definitely a thing.

Wild to see a PDS tornado watch touching a WWA, and one county removed from a WSW

Mesoscale Discussion 0390 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1037 AM CDT Fri Mar 31 2023 Areas affected...portions of southeastern Iowa...northwestern Illinois...and far northeastern Missouri Concerning...Outlook upgrade Valid 311537Z - 311630Z SUMMARY...Portions of the Moderate Risk over southeastern IA, northwestern IL, and far northeastern MO will be upgraded to a categorical High Risk in the 1630 UTC Convective outlook. DISCUSSION...An upgrade to a tornado-driven High Risk (30% probability) is expected for the 1630 UTC outlook. Environmental conditions are quickly becoming favorable to support the potential for numerous strong to potentially violent and long-track tornadoes across portions of southeastern IA, northwestern IL, and far northeastern MO. Please see the forthcoming Day 1 outlook update for more information. ..Lyons/Smith.. 03/31/2023
The only other time a tor driven high risk was issued for that region was also in March. Does anyone know what date that was? I don't know my severe weather history all that well.

It seems that SPC has to be at least considering a high risk, the biggest argument against being uncertainty regarding the location of the highest threat area. The only question that remains is to what extent/how long, will cells remain discrete

Major expansion of the moderate risk on the new outlook
About doubled, both in terms of population and area. Also the Enhanced pushed well East all the way to Ohio.
These threats that effect large areas with the mod/enh tend to be a bigger deal than a small high risk.

Each region has always had their own threads, so doesn’t matter much in the end.
.I wish the mods could merge the threads from each sub, so it linked to the same place. Really mostly just applies to severe, but it's super annoying to keep up with two threads at once.

SPC has upgraded central Louisiana, central and southern Mississippi and Alabama to a moderate risk for tornadoes and hail for today and tonight.
That escalated quickly!

47 degrees and no need for a jacket, with a light breeze and that warm march sun!

I love the annual morality debate between those wanting it to be warm and those wanting to hang onto cold in spring
Before DST root for cold in case of snow. Then root for warmth until Mother's day when we root for cooler than average temps until Halloween.

Crazy how much the GFS changed. Tons of rain for NC to absolutely nothing. It'll keep wobbling.
Yep, suppressed and energy held back. Definitely a possibility and more of a fear for me at this point than a cutter.

Hard to ignore the signal on the GFS. Unfortunately the CMC and EURO have been warmer with rain. Need 1 of them to jump on board.

CMC isn't far off, but wish there were some suppressed, cold/dry solutions from the globals.
