Severe Weather 2024

[Bevo]

Tornado warning for east sides of Dallas. Don’t see any reports of a tornado on the ground yet, could be triggered from the wind.

Edit: yep that was a nasty wind episode. My neighbor’s tree blew down all over her front yard. When it stops storming I’ll have to evaluate our house.
Huge amounts of power outages per Oncor. I think luckily the rain is supposed to keep temps down because this could take a long time to restore power to this many people…

And over here in our area, as quiet as the overall season was, we still managed to have a day where wedges and stovepipes played Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots with us.

The fact that my county - the tornado magnet - hasn't had a confirmed tornado since 2021 is odd. Wonderful, but odd.

Pretty crazy wind coming through ETX right now. My brother working a job N of Tyler is seeing some downed trees on the road

Just to put into perspective how ACTIVE this severe weather season has been, we are up to 1919 tornado warnings this year.

And we now have 27 EF3’s and 3 EF4’s already this year. The last two years this active, had 33 EF3’s/3 EF4’s, and 29 EF3’s/2EF4’s (2019 and 2023 respectively).

We will likely beat those numbers this year if I were to bet.

Judge Clay Jenkins declares a state of disaster and is suspecting this could be a multi-day power outage scenario for the Dallas area.

Considering how 2024 has been, gonna keep an eye on this 5% risk, lol.

Marathon, TX, got hit with a hailstorm yesterday. Large accumulations of small to just-barely severe hail, from the looks of it.

The outbreak intensity score for the 19th-27th outbreak is now at 110. 120 is considered a "historic" outbreak. We need "only" 5 more EF2s, or 2 more EF3s, or 1 more EF4.

Seems doubtful

Crazy supercell with a truncated cone tornado near Clovis NM last night.

28 Ef3s this year. More than yearly totals for 2012-2018, and 2020-2022. 2023 had 29, so that will be crushed most likely. 2019 and 2024 sharing

Now that's what it's all about.

We're already ahead of 2019 in pacing too. Will surely be the biggest year for sigtors since 2011, probably by the end of June.
