Holy smoke, TORE for Marshaltown.

Not that it isn't a bad situation, but I'm a little surprised at the use of the "tornado damage threat...catastrophic" line. That to me suggests high confidence in a Tuscaloosa, Joplin, Moore or Phil Campbell type of situation (to name a few). The couplet just popped up right over town, and while strong it doesn't look to be on that scale.

Broyles has to be headdesking. All the times he's busted going over-bullish on longer range outlooks and his Day 3 marginal turns into the outbreak of the year for the upper Midwest.

and until 20z today only 2% Tor probs(then 5%)....sort of reminds me of the surprise Utica Il outbreak....

 

some veteran chasers saw it..a facebook friend of mine posted about noon
