Looks like it could be an active afternoon around here with a storm complex or two coming up from the SW

I’m glad we have defined the metro as only consisting of western St Charles county now lol

Sirens have been going off here for about 10 minutes non stop. It definitely looks like a tornado touched down around the Eureka area earlier

Looks like the storms may hold off until most of the evening rush hour is over
That’s some good news as I wasn’t looking forward to driving home in hail/wind

Today looks like a classic big wind setup with steep low level lapse rates and high bulk shear
DCAPE values look to be over 1000 this afternoon and evening showing good potential for strong downdrafts in storms

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. 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=20240416

Ended up with a whopping tenth of an inch of rain
Let’s hope Thursday night brings a good soaker

Well that de-escalated quickly. Storms are running into less instability and a stronger CAP as they go east.

Guess there's enough lift and minimal CINH to get storms going after all. Looks like a noisy afternoon... A lot less morning convection than was suggested by some of the models. Should be plenty of juice out there for storms.

Tomorrow locally looks very conditional on morning convection and if we’re able to get any forcing for cells to fire. The front won’t actually come through here until early Wednesday morning. Overall, I’m not that impressed with the setup for the metro and points south and east. Northeast MO looks ripe though for discrete cells with significant severe possible.

Going to need to keep an eye on early next week for severe weather
SPC already has a 30% area defined in the plains

I feel pretty lucky I was able to avoid most of the traffic coming home yesterday. I chose Farmington because I figured it would give me a leg up on traffic coming home. Either way, traffic is a small price to pay for seeing totality yesterday. Couldn’t ask for better weather this time of year.

The temp change was much more noticeable this time than in 2017
I think the air being dry allowed temps to drop quickly

Took some back roads but made it to Farmington without much hassle.
We avoided 55 at all cost.

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.

I'm going tonstay right here at home and be happy with 99.5% I feel like the 10 minute drive to totality is more than worth it

Latest HREF cloud forecast for tomorrow. That's a lot of high and even some mid level clouds.

So it shows I’ll be under 98% of the Eclipse what would that look like? The difference between 99% totality and 100% totality is night and day, literally. At 99% you will definitely notice the sun is dimmer and not as bright, but that’s about it. 100% totality is an other worldly experience. The sun is completely blocked by the moon giving you night during the day. You will notice a 360 degree sunrise and be able to see the suns corona. You can also see stars in the sky during totality.

That was one crazy night. Not because of how bad the storms were... but because I was parked in front of the QLCS with no idea what was coming at me because of the radar/data outage. That was not a feeling I care to repeat anytime soon. Agreed, that was not a comfortable feeling. The tornado warning was pointed right at Arnold when the radar outage happened.
