It did take me a while to gather all that data and put it into a spreadsheet. It was worth it though
 
Does anyone have a graph of tornadoes by year comparison? It's the one that shows each year as its own line, and a thicker average line. I'm just curious where we are this year by comparison.

Marginal risk issued for parts of the mid Atlantic and Ohio valley has all hazards tornadoes wind and hail
Bit of a mixup timing issue but I wouldn't issue out a transient supercell in low instability if it can persist, perhaps a weak, isolated tornado threat.

The Euro has been interesting on Sunday. Events seem to be still coming, just not long range eque ones that are easy to recognise.

I'm skeptical about storms firing as a result but the NAM has a interesting environment at play, but i think it's a case of it showing a alright environment at the start of its long range for Sunday. Trusting the GFS more on a conditional low end hazards day here. Tomorrow, storms could fire late in the OH valley but enough instability to get something going.
 
Some signs of severe potential over the Plains and the lower-to-mid Mississippi Valley towards the very end of the month into early April. Still way too early to do anything other than go "huh" at it, but thought it'd be worth pointing out. I'm curious to see if this will be another year with stormy beginnings and ends to April, with quiet in between.
