I'm following it on daily obs, too lazy to open a new thread.  Didn't seem that great of a severe opp this morning.  There's a suspicious cell NW of Gloversville too.  

People in SEPA, mostly towards Philly said local news stations were calling for terrible severe storms. It was slow in here and I didn’t see much on the models this morning (only looked at HRRR), so I just assumed typical spring frontal passage. I didn’t realize the SPC had us in enhanced either.

Definitely something to watch for those of us in the OV. Timing works out.

Ok maybe not the OV verbatim... moisture and lapse rates are spent. Probably further southwest.

Our severe weather season goes through July to be fair. Tornado season is winding down, though we still have like a month left

Seems like it's been so hard to have even a regular storm season here the past several years. There was a time when severe weather season was pretty much guaranteed in the OV. Now I am lucky to even get a rumble of thunder. Lol

Thankfully the summer is pretty much guaranteed

Also... this May has been very June-like. MCS season off to a strong start.

Still have a large remnant(?) MCS for the OV for Wednesday. W KY/SW IN/S IL have the greatest parameters but stay dry. Never know with MCSs/MCVs, so worth keeping an eye on.

NAM makes a shift northeast from18z back to something kinda similar to 6z and 12z, taking the severe threat into SE IN.

Pretty nasty sounding in southern Indiana just ahead of a likely supercell. I always feel stupid tilting my head to see hodographs like this from normal supercell hodograph perspective (e.g., southerly surface winds/westerly aloft). It helps though.

SREF is kinda generous with the northeastward extent imo. Good reminder, though, that anyone in the southern half of Indiana/western half of Ohio shouldn't sleep on this.

So tricky with these types of setups

Tstorm watches are up for the mini-MCS in IA/N MO as well as for the soon-to-be MCS in KS/S NE. Currently high-based/low moisture storms but will gradually move into decent moisture. Although the sun will have set and it should be a MCS by then, should be some tornado threat. 

18z HRRR hinted at what I suspect is gonna be the case tomorrow: a discrete cell develops on the outflow boundary left behind by the MCV to develop tonight. Would be a low-predictability event for a part of western to central Kentucky with a supercell tornado threat with damaging wind/hail too.

Struggling to organize because there’s a lot of convection forming on this apparent boundary. Wouldn’t be surprised if a supercell does become dominant. At this point it’s pretty reasonable to expect a HP supercell if it does happen
