Severe Weather 2023

[CheeselandSkies]

It's standard terminology for when a tornado hasn't been confirmed by NWS survey, even though it's really meant for situations where some storm damage occurred in the middle of the night or invisible inside a wall of rain. When a hundred chasers have video of a huge funnel flinging debris everywhere, then...<shrugs>.

I work as a newscast director for a local TV station, and I've told our producers to stop using that term when there's clear video of it.

Other than a weak tropical low forming in the Gulf.....the global models are eerily quiet for the next 10 days over the South.

Anybody see anything else I'm not seeing?

All clear as of now. But what are we going to discuss about now ? Lol

If a mod/high risk pops up in the Great Plains on a weekend.....I'll be tempted to make the drive.

I got friends in Kansas I can stay with.

The biggest action here seems to pop off on MRGL 2% days

Yea I was thinking about the Andover tornado last year. It was on a Mod risk/hatched zone day.

I just need the week and day of May 6th to be warm and beautiful. Not asking for too much, am I? lol. As wet as it’s been, I’m starting to regret the farm birthday party I booked earlier this year.

It kind of ticks me off when a local TV station or Storyful classifies an actual tornado that is flinging dust and debris as "possible tornado"

The way I figure the active pattern will return starting around the 15th onward. Meanwhile, enjoy the break while it lasts.

I was noticing some activity on the ensembles starting around April 15-17......but thats way too far out to have any idea.

Is that a debris ball coming for Lafayette?

 

[Brice]

Don’t have a radar to look at(sorry!) but the weather channel just showed it and there was a ball right where the rotation is. Gone away it looks like, thank goodness.

Check out this nearly stationary rotation over Calcasieu Lake north of Cameron, LA. I would love to be a witness to this storm.

Yeah, I think it won’t be till late April, early May before we see a pattern more supportive of severe weather.

And May tends to be the end of the most violent severe weather. Is Mother Nature going to make up for lost (quiet) time?

Potential still increasing for severe weather around April 15-16. Seems to be right on schedule. I would be surprised if this didn't materialize because its rare to go longer than 2 weeks without severe weather in April.

Well I knew it was inevitable. I'm going to enjoy the quietness while it lasts.
