for the year? after this last week, yes, both for the month and year. drought begets drought. but also when the soil is moist the air is cooler and less moisture is evaporated. heading into june (after some more rain this sunday/monday) with the soil plump bodes well
lomcevak what we workin with tonight? low 50s/high 40s for north AL, unreal at memorial day weekend with this thing.
Confirmed tornado with this storm. Strong rotation pls a weak echo hole/reflectivity vortex hole on the left collocated with the rotational couplet
From the day 3 SUMMARY... Widespread severe thunderstorms are expected Saturday and Saturday night from portions of the central and southern Plains east to the mid-Atlantic coast. A widespread and potentially significant severe weather event appears likely Saturday and Saturday night from the central and southern Plains east to the mid-Atlantic region.
Tornadoes fascinate me, but if I'm chasing give me structure like the above pictures. So amazing + I'd rather dodge grapefruit hail than a tornado
We had a microburst here last year that caused a lot of tree damage around town. I'm not really sure what exactly a microburst is, but that's what the local news said it was.
Basically a very strong downdraft of air that hits the ground and spreads out. Bigly winds https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microburst
I would but people are coming in to town from out of state. Will still get drunk by 2pm on Sunday though and eat leftovers
Yeah, likelihood of a big ass MCS (big ass line of storms basically) is high. Still some question on storm mode - whether supercells will stay discrete, if they do at all, early before things go linear.
I love looking at the differences between stations. Just looked through the kc sites. They are all over the place. Fox says 1-4pm. Cbs showing 7-10pm and nbc is just like something could be severe afternoon/night but it's really complex. (They love saying its a complex set up everytime anything is gonna happen year round. Drives me crazy).
Doesn't help that the model runs have not been helpful across the Plains the past couple of days. Going back to last night/early this morning, no model had anything close to that line of storms that pushed across Missouri. Hell, this was the first two lines of the discussion the St. Louis NWS office put out early this morning, before the storms even got to Missouri: Primary concern in the short term is convective trends. The cluster of storms over east central Kansas apparently hasn`t been looking at the models this morning, because it shouldn`t be there.
Looks like a scenario where Billy P warned them that it was shifting and they told him to get off their frequency. Their loss.

Can overlay them in radarscope. Just need to create s spotter network account and then log in via radarscope. Can then display locations http://www.spotternetwork.org
