It’s big time. Everything does seem lined up for a big season. The only caveat I’ll add is that we probably need to see decent early season activity in NS and maybe H to be in line for a highest end season.

This is probably a long season through October/early November though. 

We’re moving through May now, and the Euro forecast is about as aggressive as you can get for the season.

I expect us to be looking meaningfully at pre/early season TC genesis opportunities in a few weeks. 

Flood of yore

Here’s the previous frame. A “bolt” right under the chicken. You may need to zoom to see it  

lol I thought it was a wing 

This is incredible to witness on radar.

INCREDIBLE storms in Oklahoma right now. I think the area started the day with no tornado risk.

Actually a nice light show. 
 

@weatherwiz just an big time PDS warned TOR tonight. I’ve never seen one U-turn like this…

Severe Weather Statement
National Weather Service Norman OK
1002 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2024

...A TORNADO WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1030 PM CDT FOR SOUTH CENTRAL COMANCHE...WEST CENTRAL COTTON AND EAST CENTRAL TILLMAN COUNTIES...

At 1002 PM CDT, a confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado was located 4 miles north of Loveland, moving east at 10 mph.

This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TAKE COVER NOW!

Awful resolution but look at the TDS

ETA: for the uninitiated—this is absolutely extraordinary 

First thunder of the season.

We’ve seen weaker velocity signals

Real nice pop up down near SW CT.

It takes all that just for BDR to be +.3°. Weird month.

A lot of flash flood warnings up too. Rates approaching 3”/hr in spots.

OUN doubling down. The storms from NW Texas into the Red River area have meant business, but so far it’s looking like a big dud for central Oklahoma and the metro area. 

It’s not over yet, but I really didn’t expect radar to be this quiet.  

In your experience, how often does a multi-day setup produce consecutive high end days?

I want video of the Seymour tornado. It’s metric’s are off the charts and radar is wiiiiild

It’s incredibly impressive on radar. Thankfully NW of the municipal center. 

Backyard was finally dry enough to get the first mow in. Beautiful day outside.

High risk of excessive rainfall added by the WPC for part of OK.

Just a wild day out there

Hey guys… not from this sub forum but happened to be in the area. Almost got ran over by the Lincoln, NE tornado. not chasing just driving through. Apologies for the freak out I’m more of a casual weather fan and have never seen a tornado in real life before. Legit thought I was going to take a direct hit. Anyway just thought I’d share.

 

Thanks for sharing. Glad you’re ok.
