April 20th 2025 severe threat

I should have known parts of North MS would be put in a risk. At least, it's not all of North MS and a "low end threat". I say low end with quotes.
 
Definitely an interesting day to watch. Didn’t reach its ceiling but that’s weather. Yesterday though with that epic tornado in the afternoon and then that evening show in OK and TX. I enjoyed, but am sorry for the injured and death in OK. Also we had that evening in Nebraska. Not a bad few days.

I mean it was a non hatched 10% TOR risk that already has 6 separate confirmed tornadoes and dozens of warnings sent out.

What else did it need to do to "reach its ceiling" in your eyes? Seems like it performed about as forecasted to me.

No, please help me see what I'm missing. What showed that today would have some sort of immensely higher ceiling than what has played out to this point?

We had a large hatched 10% tornado risk for strong tornado potential over a large area of Missouri and Arkansas. It ended up being more linear in Missouri and we didn’t have any long tracked tornado. I don’t think instability got to where it needed for a higher end event, Probably had a couple strong ones but nothing long lived. Arkansas had some discrete supercells but ..
 
While checking the SPC storm reports from Sunday's events (it currently has 17 filtered tornado reports as of the time of this post), I noticed that there was also a report of a landspout in Montana on the same day (both the report's location and the report itself have been circled in the image below):

And when I went to retrieve that report for this post, I also happened to notice that there was another report of a landspout in the same Montana county the very next day (Monday/yesterday):

I just thought that was interesting enough to share here.
