Somewhat on topic, but this quote from DDC (for those who don't remember or don't know, yes it's real) is some of the most unprofessional behavior I have ever seen from a WFO. What an absolutely pathetic attempt to downplay and cover their a** after failing to issue a warning for a strong tornado.

On the bright side, at least they handled the damage survey fairly well...
 
I wonder if the insane inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the model forecasts are because of the missing observed soundings in the north plains? IIRC something like that happened in 2020 to a lesser extent with less flights recording upper air data.

If only North Platte could do the same thing for Whitman.
And yes, I am still livid over that, and I know they want us to forget about it because they will completely ignore you every chance they get. I emailed them multiple times, including on different emails, and they never responded except for one email where I asked them something completely unrelated.

NWS offices are hit and miss about answering emails - some are great, others simply never get back to you.

But that aside, it's always important to (I'm sure you know this) be respectful when communicating directly with the NWS. On a site like TW I'm gonna tell it like it is, but when talking to the NWS it's a must that you be as respectful as possible, even if the WFO in question did something that is very much deserving of harsh criticism.

I will also add that badgering them with multiple emails is highly discouraged...

Anyhow, back to the weather.
 
The models are split pretty much on storm mode for tomorrow. HRRR, NSSL, NAM 3K and HRW WRF-ARW provide a more messy storm mode for tomorrow, while NAM, HRW FV3, and RRFS have some discrete storm mode, but nothing apocalyptic like it was last night.

While the kinematics are in place for an outbreak, I'm not as concerned as I was last night about discrete storm mode. However, we'll see what the HRRR looks like in the morning, see what the SPC says, as well as what they change in their outlook (if they change anything).
