It's called Geostorm. Haven't you seen the commercials for it? Btw that movie looks more and more horrible every time a new trailer is released.
Day 2 still looks like a prime spring day. Big enhanced area over Central ok, hatched area towards the western side of it.
There’s a chance for some discrete super cells when the storms fire in central Oklahoma. But by the time they get to eastern Oklahoma it will be a linear mess with damaging winds being the main threat.
Now that's a cold front. Valid tomorrow at 7pm CDT. I'm not very bullish on tornado chances before the cold front fucks shit up. We'll see
I also like that scheduled the weather festival in Norman for an enhanced risk day. Very forward thinking
lol, I just came here to post the same thing. This simulated* radar reflectivity is valid at 11pm CDT tomorrow. *it's a computer model and will likely not be exact, but whatever #wxhypetrain
The radar returns/precip in Colorado is a result of the system that will be the focus for severe weather tomorrow. Here's the jet stream level (think where airliners fly). The red line is the trough axis of our weather maker. That will continue to translate eastward and likely reach western OK late afternoon tomorrow. As this approaches, our winds will increase --> increasing shear + overall better lift to create rain/storms, (see image of cold front earlier).
Pardon the shitty annotation. Here's the latest GOES-16 water vapor image. I roughly traced the outline of the overall trough...water vapor is good for finding weather systems. Can see the higher water vapor across much of Colorado with dry air immediately behind it and to the south (yellows are dry). Color table represents: dry --> high water vapor content --> highest orange/yellow --> blue --> white --> greens
So it's a 7/9/11, do they actually fill those at a 7? Usfws was talking about that.. Not sure I'm a fan of filling an eventual 11 with someone who doesn't have a masters. Probably a discussion for another thread, but I was curious when I saw those "ladder" positions for nws as well
I'm not 100%. Most are bid out like that. For a position like that, I suspect their applicant panel will be very strong, so they'll probably hire at 11 or 12.
Still not that excited about tornado potential, at least with any isolated supercells. but I suppose it only takes one storm.
I expect that stuff near Norman will break up by the time it gets to you but there have been some funnel sightings
The nws test bed radar is in Norman, kcri and it's available in RadarScope. Might only be pro though... Have to zoom in a lot to have the option pop up. Today has gone kinda as I though. Initial supercells stayed isolated for a bit longer than I thought they would on SW OK. Even the tornado warned ones weren't super tornadic
Tornado hit Riverwind casino in Goldsby. My sister in laws parents are there and said power is off and water is pouring through the roof.
Yeah, at least in terms of hail and wind reports thus far. Tornado threat wasnt great, I was a bit less impressed than SPC. Unless it gets going it's a womp womp
Good example of a storm maturing quickly right now in NC. Goes from a largely convergent signature on the velocity (left) to an actual area of rotation (counter clockwise)
Likely tornado (center of the panels) on the ground SW ooh Wilmington, nc. Bottom right panel with circular yellow area) is likely debris
I do love me some geoporn. Will need about 4 shots before entering and a flask to sip on. Girlfriend had already said we're going to need to find an empty theatre so my laughter doesn't ruin everyone else's experience. I responded by asking her how she feels about Alanis Morissette and her take on theatres. :Fingers crossed:
This doesn't really fit in either this thread or the tropics thread, but the 00Z Euro run sure looks interesting for the Northeast Sunday night into Monday. Brings a 962mb low into New England.
Most of my family is in that polygon. I've been sick and on an extended weekend, but I hope to check it out myself tonight
