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

Crazy how fast those cells popped up...https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16&sector=umv&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24

I think that cells will congeal into a line too fast.

Bunch of convection/cells firing up near that storm on the MO/AR border. Looks like it's going through a handful of mergers with these. We'll see what happens to it after it's done.

I'm thinking the same thing honestly. There's still gonna be discrete development ahead of it I think, considering the orientation of the current line of storms, but right now there's not much shear to keep them discrete.

Well.. it’s not over until it’s over.

Yea, those cells aren’t doing jack diddly until the LLJ kicks in and they move into Tennessee/Kentucky.

Plus 1

I’m not saying a damn word after last night or until the front has passed completely through.

For sure. I'm not calling anything off, nor am I using the forbidden B word, especially after yesterday.

 

[Tanner]

I lied

Yep. Remember the words of @andyhb

Mainly looking at shear in TN later, again we wait for the LLJ to actually ramp up before anything starts being prolific

I think the best phrase appropriate regarding tornado threats in 2024 is (whatever happens happens)

So true

Localized areas in western KY could be primed now. With as many MCSs that have went through KY today, it’s no telling how many boundaries are set up

Is there a way to tell where boundaries are outside of models?

 

[Kds86z]

Discrete cells all over Missouri got me worried though.

Got our first warning

Is there a way to tell where boundaries are outside of models?

They become more diffuse over time, but early in their life you can see them on radar actually flowing away from the storm causing them.

You can sometimes spot where a boundary is sitting using surface obs looking for very slight differences in temperature or wind shift.

Cell just southwest of St. Louis is tornado warned.
