Official Tornado and Runaway Barge Thread

Just west of st Louis

 

My brother lives in Wentzville. Looks like he's in for a fun evening!

 

So that's why they call that place the Flying J.

 

TIL there is a Hog Jaw and Pencil Bluff AR

 

I knew about Pencil Bluff. Hog Jaw was a new but not unexpected

 

Theres also a blue ball and big flat (good little beer store in this town when heading north out of hector)

 

You talking about a small little brewery? Went out that way after camping at Gunnar Pool and going to Blanchard Springs in the fall.

 

You talking Hector, Arkansas?

 

Multiple tornadoes across Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio. At least one trailer park taken out with multiple casualties.

That's not that surprising given that it's early march

 

Incredible

 

lomcevak got a question for you. My assumption is that these two maps are showing the same info, but look drastically different. FGF out theirs out about the same time BIS did. Why are they so different? Is there that much subjectivity behind these products? I'm a big fan of what BIS does compared to FGF, but I'm surprised this is so different.

 

I can't see the older forecast they used but it's from this site: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/wssi/prob_wssi.php

Looks like they used different end times for their graphic but weren't explicit in time stamps. There are a few other "experimental" probabilistic products out there that look similar, but I'm pretty sure it's the one I linked above.

 

Gotcha, that makes sense.

 

I would not like the 3+ inches of snow this weekend, thanks.

(Thinking about that rain though)

 

I'm getting up to 7 tomorrow night, then well over a foot sun-tues. We desperately need the moisture but not all at once would be nice

 

Gimme the moisture as rain. No more of this frozen stuff.

Granted, this has been a very snow-free winter, but still

 

I think our season total for snow was 7" or something before this weekend. The ground is still frozen too so it won't soak in, it'll just run into the lake

 

We're at 13.1"...24.3" below normal. Last year we were sitting at 53"at this point

 

I was further west N of Bismarck last year. It was a complete mess. Pretty sad though that Bismarck missed their all time record by a few inches after that awful winter. Got stranded in the house I was living in for two weeks due to blizzards.

Drove to the airport when it was -19 outside in my truck without heat during the beginning of a ground blizzard. My windshield was freezing on the inside because of the dogs panting. Longest hour and a half of my life. When I dropped off the dogs I had to sit in the lobby of the boarding place so I could feel my fingers again.

 

Hard pass. God speed Sir.

Day 5 outlook by NWS looks like the first major outbreak of the year potential

 

Yeah no real dry/cold air intrusions into the south-central US. Pretty wide open moisture source through Monday.

 

Salisaw telling Baltimore, "hey, buddy, that's MY territory."

 

Sounds like a big time hail machine

 

Surprised the moderate didn’t extend in to NW Arkansas and southern Missouri

 

Hail driven moderate upgrade, fyi.

 

GORILLA HAIL

 

Bigger tornado threat in the Ohio valley tomorrow. Loaded gun in western Ohio.

 

Yeah, the wording on tomorrow is a bit worrisome but Ohio...

 

Nice knowing yall.

 

Covington is right over the river from Cincinnati

 

I’m smack dab in the middle of western Ohio, hopefully that shit stays south after we just got hit about 20 miles away at Indian Lake area a few weeks ago.
