Wasn't expecting much today but the thunder we are getting in Troy, MO is rattling windows. Thunder in far north St. Peters is considerable, as well. And it's pretty dark, too. I was expecting brief light showers but this is a bit more substantial than that.

Bore My wife says I'm a bore, but that's a different story. I was thinking of making a similar joke.

As long as they have some mood thunder with them it will be excellent. And I just love telling my lab tech I'm working with that if the connection suddenly drops from me to their system, it's not my fault, blame it on the tornado. I used to work from home. One afternoon we had and a tornado headed right toward the the house. I told my supervisor I needed to log off and go to the basement. In spite of the video I sent them with the black sky and sirens wailing they refused to make it as excused time off.

We were under level 3 at the end of last week into the weekend, but they backed off it. And there was hyped based on that forecast. The metro was not at anytime under a level 3 (enhanced) risk by the SPC. They initially put the area under a 15% risk staring at Day 6 and continued that through Day 4. A 15% risk at Day 4 and greater equates to a slight risk. Beginning at Day 3 we were always under a slight risk as well. Here is the SPC event archive where you can go back and see all the past outlooks. www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20240416Okay so it wasn't a level 3. I misunderstood the maps/graphs changing the representation at day 3. But it sounds like I'm not the only one that finds things, as they currently are, confusing. Perhaps use a completely different color palette before day 3 and after day 3.

We were never under level 3 here. Just 2. And that is not hype. That's a forecast by the spc. Hype is when it's all over the place being talked about by everyone. IMO We were under level 3 at the end of last week into the weekend, but they backed off it. And there was hyped based on that forecast.

Hype be who? Reed the ever overblown Timmer? I didn't see too much hype really. You didn't see we were under a level 2 threat? Originally a level 3?

Enough to wet the pavement a couple of times with the wind drying them off quickly in between. All of the hype about today was a letdown.
Disappointing.

Tuesday has my attention. Still plenty of questions, but it has that severe weather look to it. Just saw the SPC maps for Tuesday. Definitely some scary potential there.

The Davis on the roof in North St. Pete reported .45" from last night/early morning. Bummer. Not even half an inch.

Advantage of living where “no one lives”. Took a side by side ride and saw 3 other vehicles 😬. Currently sitting in my living room. Bread in the oven. Did some dishes. Took a shower. I just finished my lunch. Feet up in my La-Z-Boy, watching Emergency. House is open.

Chris Higgins is sitting in traffic heading south. 55 is a mess headed south right now. Looks like one of those hurricane evacuation photos. I’ll be joining that mess soon. Good luck!

1 day out and models are still all over the place. Just gotta go with your spot and hope for the best. Just like the models do for snowstorm. At least they're consistent with their inconsistency.

It appears this time the Arch effect is working in our favor. There was another map I saw from the NWS that showed an even smaller hole that this right over the mid-Mississippi River valley.

My wife was in central Texas two weeks ago. One town there is expecting 60,000 visitors for the eclipse. They are warning residents to stock up on groceries and other necessities. Anywy, she picked up one of the shirts they were selling.

I think the front is coming through. Things had been calm. Suddenly I got a 40-50 mph wind gust. Now the wind has settled down to a 10-20 mph speed.

Looks like a bit of a hook echo around Hermann Clear hook echo signature. Surprised it's not warned.

Surprisingly I don’t think there’s been a tornado warning anywhere yet today. There is one now to east of Herman
