Dang, the current confirmed tornado warning in southern OK couplet and debris signature was moving slightly east, then turned around and went back NW. I sure hope no chasers were trying to come up on it from the back. That was one of the strongest couplets I’ve seen on radar. At one point it had a very clear vortex hole, almost like a hurricane eye on reflectivity. Yea I saw the “eye” also. That thing much have been huge. Also was about to post about the anti cyclonic one too. Weird night!!

Looking like an underperformer in the southern plains so far.

Gotta give some credit to the chasers and even the social mediarologists (I know…). There were hundreds of thousands of people streaming those feeds yesterday.

Already a tornado warning in far west OK. Gonna be a brutal day I’m afraid out in the plains.

Hope I'm not jumping the gun, but no deaths reported (yet?) from yesterday is encouraging while also shocking considering the damage pics I've seen. I haven’t seen any reported as of yet. Hopefully it stays that way. That would be a major victory for modern weather forecasting. Those debris balls were bad and there’s certainly some EF4 damage in areas.

More debris balls now.

That same storm now appears to be producing a big wedge near Bennington NE. Wow.

Very sorry to hear about that also. I really enjoyed her positive and realistic outlooks! May God be with her family and friends.
Thinking back I suppose this is sort of somber first for this forum.

Not sure I understand the argument lol. This was the strongest storm complex to come across the metro in a little while. Kind of non arguable lol.

HRRR is starting to indicate more discreet cells this afternoon/evening than it was before. Maybe noise, but it has my attention.

Stormy looking skies this morning. I'm definitely concerned about wind damage/power outages tonight with that second batch that the models want to develop after the first one goes through the metro.

We always did elevated rows for potatoes. “Long hills” I guess lol.
I’m planning on getting my summer garden in weekend after next. First time I’ve had one in 6 years after having one every year before that.

Man, it’s been tough to get some good old spring time thunderstorms as of late.

Well that de-escalated quickly.

I agree that it was much better all around. The cool air was awesome, and the corona I believe was much more impressive than 2017 for whatever reason.

That was everything I hoped it would be and then some. Did others see the pink solar flare at the bottom? Wow! I feel like the aura was also more impressive than 2017 too.

Yeah, you could be right. Trying to research this has proven to be challenging. I'm getting mixed information. Some say cirrostratus is no bid deal. Some say it could fuzz things out too much to see Bailey's Beads which I don't personally care about, but some do. I think the corona will still be visible even through a reasonably thick layer of cirrostratus which IMHO is the neatest part of the experience. Your concern about CU is well taken too. Right now I'm optimistic. The dewpoint depressions in the lower part of the atmosphere in combination with the reduction in solar insolation should help keep those suppressed. But the weak front and closeness of the vorticity advection at 500mb certainly keeps it from being a lock. In the 2017 eclipse, Columbia MO where I watched it from was locked in with cirrostratus the whole eclipse time, and it did not damper the experience at all. The only concern then was the cumulus clouds that tried developing as totality approached, but they seemingly were knocked down considerably by the lack of extra daytime heating from the eclipse. I’m not going to panic at all if cirrus or cirrostratus develop. You could actually watch on satellite the cumulus stop growing and start to dissipate in the hour or so leading up to totality. I’m sure someone has a video out there on YouTube.

I’ll be watching from my farm. Took off work this year so I could watch it with family.

Cell north of Springfield MO just went warned for baseball sized hail and 70 mph winds Tornado warned now. Nasty storm.

Waynesville cell might be the one to watch. Rotation tightening up. Waynesville? My bad. Wardsville at the time of that post.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see that west county cell wrap up after it crosses the river. Maybe before.

Surprisingly I don’t think there’s been a tornado warning anywhere yet today.

We need to watch the differntial heating boundary near STL between the clouds/clearing. This may become an effective boundary to focus enough convergence to generate a storm. With the warm front moving north, Round 1 in our viewing are may be slow to ramp up. It is interesting that several CAMS are generating a supercell very near the Missouri River that passes over/near STL in a couple of hours. No signs of development yet... but we continue to watch. Its hard to envision supercells developing with that rain shield present. Short range models missing that?

I know its still a ways out there but models have been pretty consistent with a large lingering system over the middle of the country on April 8...that would suck.

Looks like March is fixing to go OUT like a lion. Indications for multiple mid latitude cyclones. Hopefully some fun weather to track across the country.

That’s a mean bow echo headed for the southern half of the area Part of it is warned for 80 mph wind Yup. Gonna plug my devices is now.
