Neoncyclone Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Wasn't really expecting a long-tracker today but this has been down for a little while now with no signs of letting up. Also not a big fan of the way that storm to the south of this one is organizing, could be a pretty bad situation here soon.

Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted May 13, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) What a system. It's beautiful but it's created so much damage via tornadoes. 36 tornado reports today, 24 yesterday, and 13 on Wednesday. That strong tornado earlier obviously did damage... almost certainly the strongest of this 3-day event.

Chinook Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) some of the nastiest Nebraska tornadoes in recent history have happened near Pilger and Lincoln. Because, you know, the famous double tornadoes near Pilger. And then tonight. (not shown obviously.) And then maybe some other red F4/EF4(s) in there.

Iceresistance Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 I could not sleep properly last night, it was the Midnight Madness with all that lightning last night. I got 1.1 inches from it though. More coming hopefully. DFW literally got nothing from what it looks like a force field over the Metroplex.

snowlover2 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Quote Mesoscale Discussion 0786 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1201 PM CDT Sat May 13 2023 Areas affected...Iowa into far northeast Missouri Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 131701Z - 131900Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...T-storm coverage and intensity is expected during the 18-20 UTC period across Iowa into far northeast Missouri. These storms will likely pose a risk for large hail, severe winds, and a few tornadoes. A watch will likely be needed to address this concern. DISCUSSION...Latest surface observations depict a warm front draped from northeast IA southeastward into far northeast MO. On the cool side of this boundary, eroding cloud cover has allowed for temperatures to begin warming into the low to mid 70s with further heating/destabilization expected through mid afternoon as clouds continue to slowly clear amid weak subsidence noted in low-level water-vapor imagery. Modified observed and forecast soundings across central to eastern IA suggest that while buoyancy profiles remain somewhat modest, the low-level warming is eroding mixed-layer inhibition. Initial convective initiation along the warm front, where mesoscale lift and diurnal warming is greatest, has been noted south of Des Moines over the past 20 minutes, lending credence to recent CAM solutions that hint at more widespread convective initiation within the next 2-3 hours. As thunderstorms develop, storm motions and deep-layer shear vectors orthogonal to the warm front should support initially discrete storm modes. VWP observations from KDMX (to the north of the front where low-level flow is backed to the southeast) show sufficient low-level curvature for around 100-150 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH. Forecast soundings hint that strong shear in the 1-6 km layer will favor elongated hodographs favorable for splitting supercells. Consequently, organized convection appears likely with an attendant large hail, severe wind, and tornado threat. The quality of destabilization (and subsequently the severe threat) becomes less certain with east/northeast extent; however, a watch will likely be needed to address the developing severe threat. ..Moore/Mosier.. 05/13/2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Line of thunderstorms currently moving across far east-central MO is expected to continue eastward into the unstable airmass across southern IL. A threat for damaging gusts and large hail will accompany the strongest storms within this line. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 50 miles northwest of Saint Louis MO to 40 miles northeast of Salem IL.

REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches.
