I dont know why there are ppl who are not believing the large hail reports across warrenton, wright city, ofallon. They say it didnt happen, just peanut size They probably think the earth is flat too...

Agreed, today was a solid MOD risk setup around here...there was nothing conditional about it, but the SPC seemed to hit on that pretty hard.

Disappointing from a rain standpoint in High Ridge. 0.19" around 7:00 this morning and 0.41" with the afternoon and evening storms. It looks like there were lots of rain jackpots North and South. I didn't get much over a quarter inch IMBY...the training deep convection set up just to the S as it often does.

That storm near Pevely crossing the river looks very concerning with a well defined hook/inflow notch

Storm approaching Warrenton looks tornadic with 70dbz+ returns

Veered surface winds are going to limit the tornado potential but the hail and wind threat is going to be high with such steep lapse rates and strong shear.

Getting very unstable out there Latest SPC meso analysis has SCBAPE approaching 3500 j/kg Shear is high as well with 0-6km values around 60 kts "Buckle your seat belts"

BRTNWXMAN - You OK there? TV said Brighton got hit. I'm in Godfrey during the day but the reports of damage were a few miles north of home base, which is pretty typical. Seems like most of the severe weather goes north and south...especially hail storms.

Looks like outflow from this AMs storms could push the effective boundary further S/E than expected...that should become the focus for storms later today behind this first wave as things destabilize. We'll have to see where that sets up.

Yeah, tomorrow looks like a potentially volatile day...good setup for discrete supercells with the weak height falls and the boundary situated more WSW to ENE

It'll be interesting to see how those storms are maintained overnight...models show them collapsing as they cross MO but they are being fed by a focused LLJ/WAA

GFS right back on the cold train with the 00z run and very close to a full blown winter storm in about a week. It's likely that anything that tries to develop in the S stream will get squashed by the N stream crashing in, but if that cut off can eject favorably there could be some potential like the GFS shows. The EC has SNSH activity next Sunday in the cyclonic flow which looks more realistic.

Looks like a drought buster down south...around these parts, not so much.

Will have to keep an eye on mid/late next week for possible severe around here We just need rain at this point in anyway we can get it Was just looking at that...kind of a low key setup but has some potential. GFS kind of backed off on the cold pattern but the EC still brings down some very cold air by mid-month and beyond.

I'm still sticking with my thought of a snowstorm the last part (2nd half) of March. 00z gfs goes crazy with snowstorms starting on the 19th. I go to Miami on the 25th, so you can count on something special then. I expect plenty of snow for baseball season in the Upper Midwest. The GEM ensemble mean had a pretty pronounced wave moving through around the 20th that would probably have cold air connection.

Ensembles look downright cold later this month with a deep and persistent trof developing across the E US around the 15th with a west-based -NAO and -EPO.

12z nam brings a brief period of very heavy snow to the metro Saturday morning. I did notice some of the models were showing some potential for a secondary with that a couple days ago.

Heard some guy talking about the warmth and morels. I told him to not jump the gun Late freeze and stunted crop seems to be the standard any more...betting this year delivers on that

Some pretty decent supercells up north...could see a few hailers or wind producers overnight Saw some cumulus bubbling on my way home from work. Feels warm and humid Yeah, it looks and feels like May today

Both the GFS and EC look colder towards mid-month...definitely a signal for a large-scale pattern change. Whether or not that equates to any snow potential remains to be seen but it's a lot cooler pattern than the current blowtorch flow.

Ensembles look colder towards the end of the run(D15) but that's way out there. Not much else to write home about otherwise, maybe a few flakes later in the week behind that front. Yea since I made that post things don’t look as good lol …. It definitely looks cooler towards the end of the month …. With our luck it will be cool and damp most of April I sure hope so...
