Severe Weather Threat 4/25-4/26, 2024 - (Thursday, Friday)

[KCweatherboy]

Over an enhanced risk area non the less

I think all the "busts" this year made the SPC nervous to go any higher

 

[KCweatherboy]

Wow, incredible!

 

[Clancy]

The proximity of these two is ludicrous, especially considering they're both dropping tornadoes with serious debris signatures.

 

[jiharris0220]

I haven’t seen such significant tornadoes side by side since the 2020 Easter outbreak.

Reed with some incredible footage of the 2nd Omaha tornado

 

[SmokeEater]

WFO Omaha is so swamped they've completely stopped talking on NWS Chat.

 

[Muwx]

Will Oklahoma be in play later Andy?

Seems very unlikely. Storms are really struggling there.

 

[Jpgood97]

Brad Arnold is about to have a really good view of it

 

[cincywx]

i left the room to do some things for 25 minutes and that was quite the 25 minutes to leave the room. wow.

 

[KCweatherboy]

Storm by Uniontown, KS looks to have crazy rotation. Wish there was better radar to see what exactly is going on down there.

 

[TornadoFan]

Multi-vortex!

 

[warneagle]

At least the northern storm is basically over open country now. The southern one might be a problem for Underwood and Neola though.

 

[MMWX]

Northern tornado starting to weaken.

 

[warneagle]

TDS near Soldier, IA from the Blair cell.

 

[jiharris0220]

Now a confirmed warning.

 

[atrainguy]

 

[cincywx]

TDS near Soldier, IA from the Blair cell.

oh yikes, that rotation is heading right over Soldier.

 

[TornadoFan]

McClelland storm is growing stronger, me thinks.

 

[lake.effect]

I think it's time to re-think the SPC risk system. It's clearly broken.

Something needs to take forecast confidence into effect. So we don't end up with "conditional" Enhanced risks with multiple tornado emergencies.

Something like High Risk / Low Confidence or Moderate Risk / High Confidence. A dual rating system that captures both the potential ceiling of the event and confidence that it will occur.

 

[SmokeEater]

Connor Croff has two tornadoes down at once.
