Thursday is my day of concern this week. However this spring as far as rainfall has been great. We have not had any flooding issues more than nuisance type to this point and no real big rainers that keep you from getting gardens ready at work.
And this has been the best spring for lawns. They are very healthy and the cold weather has really kept the weeds down. Really in my eyes its been the perfect spring just a little cool at times

In my opinion a perfect spring would not have 20 mph winds every day…. I love to fish and it’s not been easy at all

I do agree with ajd... everyone has their idea of what a good spring (and winter) looks like. For me, this has been cooler than I would like... amd gloomier. Not many pure sunny, warm days. And while rain has been close to normal... it has been a lot more unsettled than I would like... lots of days with light rainfall totals and clouds. |

Absolutely a tornado in Perry county yesterday…again. I took a short drive up the road this morning and saw the path. Lots of large trees taken down and one barn demolished. Looks like a multi-vortex situation..a couple areas looked like EF-2 whereas most was EF-1 looking. Still a big cedar tree top and sheet of metal laying along I-55. Those were thrown several hundred yards. As Chris said, only 100-200 yards north of the 2017 beast.

I would have thought at least EF-1. |

I rated it EF1 with top winds of 90... they said EF0 at 85. That's only 5 mph difference... and EF1 starts at 86MPH.
We aren't off by much.

SPC just released another hyper focused moderate risk of severe storms for northeastern Oklahoma, but shifted the slight risk well away from the area, still on the cusp of a marginal risk in metro St. Louis mainly overnight.

ICON with 100*F next Monday... What's more overbaked then the CMC/GEM and or NAM... It's the ICON. Not gonna happen, but funny and also proof we're getting closer to the Summer season.

That is a tiny 15% tornado area on the SPC outlook. Is it just me, or do these small areas always seem to be in Oklahoma? Is the areal density of tornadoes and other severe types more predictable in OK or what?

Not seeing much if any severe potential around here through Wednesday. Thursday/Thursday night has some potential but there seems to be some uncertainty on if the warm front will make it through the area by the ideal afternoon period. But even if, it is looking like...and everyone knows how this usually plays out by now...clouds/storms may linger through afternoon and be a big mitigating factor. Think it wise of SPC to leave outlook south of the area for now.

www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0171.htmlTornado watch covering nearly 2/3 of the state of OK and southern KS * Primary threats include... Several tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes likely Widespread large hail expected with isolated very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter likely Widespread damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 80 mph likely

NAM's on board for a noisy night especially between 11PM and 2AM it seems.

Awfully potent looking setup across OK and KS today for sure but it seems like strong divergence and forcing is favoring QLCS development overall.

That is amazing footage. That was rated mid/high end EF3 with winds of 155mph. Saw some pics of a home or two scoured down to the subfloor (clearly poor construction). Winds about same as high end Cat 4 hurricane, but you can clearly see the power of the upward vertical velocity of tornadoes and why hurricane winds have no comparison to tornadoes. Amazing there were no fatalities. |
