Severe Weather Threat 5/25-5/26, 2024

I could’ve sworn I’ve seen the most r$t@r&d statement imaginable from a person with the initials “CH”.

But I guess it was a nightmare because I don’t see it anymore.

Oh please share lmao was it the B word?

I'm noticing the outflow boundary from the cluster of storms on reflectivity and spectrum width. Looks like it's moving west and north pretty quickly and may have just killed some storms trying to initiate just north of it.

Too early to say that.

I mean it clearly says could in the message. Andy is saying the same thing on Twitter

Two meteorologists, two completely different opinions. Isn’t the weather lovely and predictable?

Completely anecdotal, but on events that actually verify, there’s no sitting around waiting or seeing fail modes materialize in real time. They pop off and go. This one clearly is already suffering from fail modes before the main event starts. I would also say this isn’t a “Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency”, this fail mode was prevalent all morning in the models. It was staring us right in the face.

The HRRR is a joke. It just refuses to catch up with the observations.

Where’s the Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency police

Who called a Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency?

Oh my god, the echo tops on these storms. One of them was up to 62kft!

 

[jiharris0220]

Storms are initiating on the dry line in the tx panhandle, and unlike the mess along the red river, they seem to be fairly spaced apart and are in perfect position to take advantage of the untapped environment up north.

I was thinking this event would fall flat on its face this morning because models simply weren’t showing this area to convect. Hopefully these somehow don’t take advantage.

It looks like the cell south of Gotebo, OK, could be capable of producing baseball to DVD-sized hail!

 

[tornado examiner]

I'm just dreading the moment where a violent tornado cores a town in the middle of the night as is what happens so often.

 

[Clancy]

Wouldn't be horrendously surprised to see increased storm separation as kinematic profiles intensify over the next several hours. But, I'm definitely not sold on any particular foci of tornadic activity across OK this evening. Regardless, one heck of a hail threat for the Plains from these storms.

Theoretically speaking, could you cut a DVD sized hailstone into a thin sheet, and then put it into a DVD player?

I wouldn't recommend it.

If you want the meltwater to do damage to the player and its electronics, then go ahead. Otherwise, the answer is a solid "NO!"

 

[jiharris0220]

You can see the outflow boundary well on radar.

“We’re reporting copies of ‘Gone With the Wind’ falling here in OKC”

Brandon Copic just got pulled over by a cop on Ryan's stream and RadarOmega, what a horrible time to pull his stream up LOL
