Where we’d get training thunderstorms all night and I slept so good lol. Probably don’t need this much rain though. River going to be right back high. It’s been a fairly wet spring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ak9971 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Woke up for the bathroom (does that make me old now lol??) and saw a tornado warning at the OH/WV/PA border. Observed tornado warning with debris signature, hoping that it missed this park marked on the map. Really strong signature on radar now. Edit: PDS warning as well Edited May 8 by ak9971 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted May 8 Meteorologist Share Posted May 8 Glad everyone's okay... I was at work this evening. I have extended family in Greenville and South Lebanon, both of which apparently had very close calls. In both cases, rotation went over them then an apparent tornado dropped north or northeast of town. Missed my extended family though. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Moderate risk area today for wind and hail. Quote Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0100 AM CDT Wed May 08 2024 Valid 081200Z - 091200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...NORTHWEST INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE...WESTERN KENTUCKY... ...SUMMARY... Numerous severe thunderstorms appear likely Wednesday from parts of the mid Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Valleys into the southern Plains. All severe hazards, including tornadoes, very large to giant hail, and potentially significant damaging winds are possible. Some of the tornadoes may be strong. ...Synopsis... Within a seasonably deep upper-level trough, one embedded mid/upper low is forecast to move eastward from the north-central Plains into the upper MS Valley, while another mid/upper-level low is forecast to develop within the trailing portion of the upper trough across the Great Basin. To the south of the Great Plains midlevel low, an embedded shortwave trough and attendant jet maximum will move from the central Plains toward the mid Mississippi Valley. Farther northeast, a shortwave trough and attendant surface low will move from the upper Great Lakes region into the Northeast. ...ArkLaTex into the Mid-MS/OH/TN Valleys... A complex but potentially significant severe weather episode still appears possible over a broad region from the ArkLaTex vicinity into parts of the mid MS/OH/TN Valleys. All severe hazards will be possible, with some threat for strong tornadoes, very large to giant hail, and swaths of damaging wind. A very moist and unstable warm sector will already be in place this morning across parts of OK/TX, and eastward along/south of a warm front into the mid Mississippi, lower Ohio, and Tennessee Valleys. Strong to extreme instability (aided by a plume of midlevel lapse rates spreading eastward from the Plains) and moderate to strong deep-layer shear will support a potentially volatile severe thunderstorm environment through the day into the evening. Initial storm development is expected near/north of the warm front from southeast KS into southwest MO, which may already be underway at 12Z with a threat of hail and localized severe gusts. The early convection will play a major role in the evolution of downstream severe potential through the day, with some potential for a MCS to develop and move east-southeastward. Should this occur, a swath of damaging wind could spread toward the TN and lower OH Valleys, along with a threat for line-embedded tornadoes and some hail. If morning convection does not evolve into an MCS, then there may be a somewhat greater potential for supercell development during the afternoon, though an eventual evolution into multiple intense storm clusters is expected with time, with an attendant threat of large to very large hail and damaging winds (with at least isolated gusts in excess of 75 mph possible). Storm coverage southwestward into the ArkLaTex region and central TX remains more uncertain, but the environment across this region will be quite volatile, with extreme instability and sufficient deep-layer shear for supercells. Very large to giant hail and significant severe gusts could accompany any storms in this area from late afternoon into the evening. A Moderate Risk for hail and wind has been introduced in the vicinity of the expected frontal zone position from southern MO into northwest/middle TN, where multiple storm clusters with significant severe potential appear possible. Some expansion of this Moderate Risk to the south/west may be needed, depending on trends regarding storm coverage into the ArkLaTex region. The magnitude of the tornado threat will be dependent on storm mode, with the coverage and longevity of discrete or clustered supercells remaining highly uncertain at this time. However, any stronger supercell moving through the warm sector or within modifying outflow could pose a strong tornado threat, given the magnitude of instability and sufficient low-level and deep-layer shear. A corridor of higher tornado probabilities may be needed if confidence increases in several persistent supercells across the region. ...Southern Appalachians into the Carolinas... Convection will likely be ongoing this morning across the southern Appalachians vicinity. Some intensification of this morning convection, along with potential redevelopment, will be possible into the afternoon. Diurnal heating of a warm and moist airmass will support moderate to locally strong destabilization, with MLCAPE increasing above 2000 J/kg. Moderate midlevel westerly flow will support sufficient deep-layer shear for storm organization, and a couple supercells and/or stronger clusters could evolve during the afternoon and evening. Large hail and strong/damaging gusts are expected to be the primary hazards, though a tornado cannot be ruled out with any sustained supercell. ...Iowa and vicinity... Modest low-level moisture will return to parts of Iowa and adjacent areas of the Midwest/Plains during the day, though the quality of this moisture may be affected by early convective development to the south. Cool temperatures aloft will support MLCAPE potentially increasing near/above 1000 J/kg, with sufficient deep-layer shear to support organized convection. Guidance varies somewhat regarding the placement and magnitude of the most favorable instability, but a couple stronger cells/clusters will be possible with a threat of hail, damaging wind, and possibly a tornado or two. ...Parts of New England and the Northeast... A few strong storms will be possible this afternoon and evening across parts of the Northeast and New England, in conjunction with the eastward moving shortwave trough and attendant cold front. The strongest ascent will likely remain displaced to the north of the more favorable moisture and instability, but a few cells/clusters may develop and pose a threat of isolated hail and strong/damaging gusts. ..Dean/Wendt.. 05/08/2024 Edited May 8 by snowlover2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
