Svr Wx threat April 1-April 2 2024

Quite a bit of convection ongoing across OK and MO rn that I imagine will have a rather large impact on tomorrow's threat.
 
CAM’s are great and can provide a good look at how the day may play out, but don’t get lost in run-to-run variations. Focus on the larger picture synoptically and how the setup should play out based on the background environment. Then work all failure modes and significant questions. I know this may be common sense to some, but I figured it should be repeated.

This setup has had high ceiling potential for a couple of days but also has a few failure modes for the northern threat areas and that hasn’t changed. The only thing that changed is that Norman went with the high ceiling forecast. It may play out or be modulated in the north. I figure it will be modulated to a degree…which is probably still a significant event.

To me, the southern threat area has a higher floor/lower ceiling with the QLCS and some semi-discrete mode.
 
Not sure if being so close to the radar is affecting velocity scans, but I’m seeing multiple (4-6) areas approaching Springfield with 90-110 mph velocities. Scary for sure.

Edit: Those areas went right over the radar. Hope it survived it.
 
This is my outlook. I didn’t do a slight or marginal risk, but this is my greatest risk. I want to compare after the event from my to spc.

You will need to zoom in on Springfield
Turn Traffic Cameras on (on the left menu, you may have to scroll down)

Click to view. There are quite a few in the area near the airport which appears to be the right place to be watching.

I've heard IT guys (who should as a rule know what they're talking about) routinely refer to printers in very disparaging fashion (one of the more polite descriptions that I've heard is "the interesting lovechildren of Unicorns and Zebras"). Make of that what you will...
If I didn't actually need to use printers every now and then, I'd take mine straight out to the desert and happily unload a couple hundred rounds of 22LR into it... but too bad society has made printers into a necessary evil. All I'm going to say about that.

Back to the weather, how is the threat looking for eastern West Virginia tomorrow? Definitely the beefiest threat I've seen for WV in quite some time. What effect is the ongoing convection going to have on the threat in that area?
 
For fun here is my thoughts… Slight is yellow, enhanced is orange, and red is Moderate. Lets see how this plays out.

Probably can’t know the finer details until 2-6 hours in advance.
