I will also say that the way the cells are oriented and moving makes me think today may catch a lot of people off guard. Today might be more productive for tornadoes than people thought.

Wouldn't be lying if I said that Friday is beginning to really catch my eye. Even with this disagreement on models, most deterministic runs have not backed down on a solution of a widespread svr threat with all hazards in the Plains/Upper Midwest. This may be our highest ceiling day but Tuesday is a competitor for that as well.

The cell near Trumann, MN is very likely to be the main play over the next while. This may be the problem of the day if overconvection doesn't get to this one

I made a thread for it https://talkweather.com/threads/severe-weather-4-17-26.2508/#post-199746

The St. James/Madelia storm has me worried. It is also literally in my childhood backyard. It also is right on the edge of the "radar hole."

I'd want to be in north Iowa

The amount of supercells that will be in a highly sheared environment soon are interesting.

I have got a small feeling in my gut telling me that one or two of these are gonna be bad eggs

Yeah, if we see one turn right and start cranking I wouldn’t be surprised to see others follow suit. Not liking the general radar presentation right now.

Which chaser is this? Or does anyone else have someone on this particular storm?

 

[TornadoFan]

Might get a tornado on Freddy McKinney's stream soon.

Croff just got hit by a weak spin up.

Walked away for an hour and came back to this. Definitely wasn't expecting that.
