    They made a post about that on FB. Supposedly they consider the sirens as outdoor warning sirens, not just tornado sirens. It was a nice storm, I will say that.

    The one Friday night got me diverted to San Angelo while trying to land at DFW. No clue where the fuck i was.

    Supposedly Wed - Friday this week should be interesting as well.

    Got diverted to Huntsville while trying to land in Atlanta two weeks ago from Little Rock, I'm in the open seat across from the flight attendant jump seat. She said the look on my face when we landed was priceless, as I removed my earbuds and shades, to ask, "Where in the world are we?"

    This is not College Park, GA.

    I haven't really had much of a chance to look at things yet. I've really only looked at one model and haven't spent much time looking at any obs; but this model does show some impressive instability and wind shear tomorrow afternoon/evening. Definitely worth keeping an eye on. It will be interesting to see if there is any storms overnight that may negatively (or positively) impact eventual initiation tomorrow afternoon. Even though I haven't looked much, I would not be surprised to see a moderate risk outlook from the SPC with their 8am or 11:30 am Day 1 outlooks tomorrow.

    After looking a bit more, I'm not as excited about tomorrow as I was initially. Overnight/morning convection has the potential to really mess things up tomorrow. Pretty sure we'll get severe storms, but it is looking like a messy day overall. A lot can change between now and tomorrow afternoon, however. Take a look at April 9...there were concerns about early morning convection and cloud cover. All it took was a little clearing in the afternoon and we wound up with that large violent tornado here in IL.

    I hope it does... I have access to a piece of property NW of Emporia that has excellent sightlines to the W and S. Really hoping I'll be able to snap some good photos of the storms coming in.

    So I'm guessing the clouds need to break early to allow for some daytime heating before things start to light up?

    Also - I remember for my area the NWS out of Topeka reported that the cap never broke during that early April system, which caused that storm down near Wichita to collapse. Is cap related to that insufficient daytime heating, or is that a completely different variable?

    This is a pretty badass site: https://apps.dat.noaa.gov/StormDamage/DamageViewer/

    It's a neat tool to see the exact points logged by NWS survey teams. You can select a particular office and date range. Most of these points will display specific details and pictures if you select the "Identify Toolbox" button on the top menu bar; it looks like a marker.

    Yeah, the cap is essentially a region of warmer (more stable) air aloft that prevents air from rising. Surface heating, increase in moisture in the lowest levels, and lift (front, dryline, etc) can break the cap. If you ever hear or see the acronym "CIN" -- convective inhibition; they're talking about the cap. Too much CIN can completely bust a forecast
