I love the Iowa mesonet website, so many great weather features on there. Model temperature verification statistics, the weather radar time machine, AFD logs, etc...

Their iembot is always one of my tabs when following severe.

Way too many this year! Hopefully our spring severe season is over.

Due to the significant damage last night and continued warnings today, I've moved the posts for April 24-26 severe event to a dedicated thread.

30% day 4 over parts of Texas and Oklahoma

Tomorrow looks like a pretty credible threat, albeit not a very high-end one.

Operational runs of many global models, and their ensemble members are indicative of a potentially active week of severe weather May 5th-11th. These threats could extend outside of the Plains.

I don’t envy the people trying to forecast today’s event. Models are over the place and storm mode is up in the air.

Pretty impressive tornado near Călărași in southeastern Romania.

Pretty impressive tornado near Călărași in southeastern Romania.

Wow, striking contrast.

 

[warneagle]

Wow, striking contrast.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty neat. I would assume it’s a wheat or sunflower field because that’s what most of that part of Romania is. That part of the country seems to get a few (mostly weak) tornadoes per year.

Like Kentucky? I was planning on going to Mammoth Cave the 10th of May.

That reminds me, does anyone remember the tornado in Nepal back on March 31? It was the first ever confirmed tornado in Nepal, and killed 28 (deadliest worldwide since 2015). Also, there actually isn't a Nepalese word for tornado, so local news sources had to call it by the Hindi name, chakrawat.

A couple of tornado warnings in the Little Rock area. The western one might end up close to Vilonia if it holds together...

Apparently NWS Memphis has forgotten how to issue tornado warnings. Strongly rotating hooking supercells under SVR warnings this evening

Not the only one to think that.

Hey it got warned... now that there's a confirmed tornado. Kind of defeats part of the purpose of a warning

 

[WesL]

Yes.. yes it does.
