Severe Weather Threat 4/28-4/30

I mean I never heard of any SPC staff members being cut when the NWS budget cuts went crew. My money is on them just liking their forecast.

Yeah I get it I guess if nothing changes. I just always like to see what different forecasters think.

Can't remember the last time this-large-a-chunk of Ohio was in an MD. Ohio's mostly stayed out of the bad weather we saw last year (ahem, Lakeview, ahem) but seems we may see some action today.

I was confused too, haha. I'd never seen that before, but evidenced by the date on the quoted tweet here, this partnership(?) is not exactly a new thing.

Wichita Falls west looks interesting today

New Day 2 is exactly same as the previous.

Even if the SPC based their outlook accounting for the unfavorable wind vectors and went with a 10% hatched or even the experimental 5% hatched, it still would’ve been a bu$t.

Insane.

Isn't there a method to the forecasting from the SPC? I'm assuming if there wasn't then everyday could technically be a high/moderate risk.

HRRR is showing a potentially potent setup tomorrow right along the boundary. Bears watching...

Pretty good looking storms driving on i-90W in Western New York just now

We had a brief downpour here in the Columbus metro, but storm structure was impossible to see because I was right under it as opposed to at a distance. Also, a lot of trees here, so not ideal for storm viewing.

Maybe SPC meant 15 owls. I never knew owls could forecast weather. Maybe SPC is in desperate need of help.

Let’s see if the panhandle does it again.

Same day 1 outlook as last 2 today. What the actual F. Yeah it kinda pisses me off. Can ya tell?

Let’s see if the panhandle does it again.

Almost opposite situation as yesterday as surface winds are due east which should allow storms to really maximize the srh, which is probably why the HRRR is showing the crazy helicity streaks

man, I was really for big storms in my area. All of it went down to Zanesville and became a possible derecho!
