[Taylor Campbell]

Pretty ominous looking couplet north of Richmond KY right now

Yeah, I think there was a damaging tornado on the ground at one point.

I'm in the town next over, and lived in Richmond just a month ago. It didn't maintain that strength for long, but it definitely looked serious for a moment. Wonder if it hit anything..

You'd need a helicopter to chase in that part of Kentucky.

This is on my bucket list

Looks like the bulk of the action here will be between 9 pm and 1 am.

Six days, four shelf clouds, exact same spot

 

[ashtonlemleywx]

Here's some of my footage of wrinky dink shelf cloud over Oxford today.

I plan on going to Minnesota last week of May and staying for a few weeks. Long range models are showing a favorable pattern for the Midwest in that timeframe. I'm hoping I can get a few good storms while I'm there. I'm going after anything that pops off in the Midwest in that timeframe.

Managed to get one lightning strike during this afternoon's storms passing through Smithville.

 

[MichelleH]

Confirmed tornado in Clarke County, AL right now.

 

[Equus]

Good 'ol <2% tornado risk days

Lowered updraft base with the third thunderstorm complex in as many days here but not rotating looks like, just an interesting visual

 

[MichelleH]

I'm currently getting the daily monsoon.

 

[Equus]

Lol yeah, after missing out for a while the last three days are 0.44", 0.32" and now 0.20" and counting; the garden is no doubt pleased for once

A few hours ago in Wyoming.

This storm in the TX panhandle has been warned for nearly an hour now. Not sure if it's actually put anything down yet though.

 

[TheSuckZone]

If it does there is no less than 2,500 chasers down there to report it

This happened yesterday

What’s everyone’s thoughts about May so far severe wx wise?

Anything showing up in the last weeks of May long range model wise? Or will this be another “quieter” May like we’ve grown accustomed to

So far, it’s been a quiet May, and I don’t see the status quo changing. It’s such a weird pattern, with these high ridge blocking patterns seemingly taking over one after another.

There's some indication of an El Nino year coming. If that happens then it would be intertesting to compare this year's TOR WX with other EN initiative years.
