2024 - Severe Storms (T-Storms and Blizzards)

[WstateU]

If we want to define "irresponsible", I can present a dozen Tweets or more that are insanely stupid in comparison.

There are going to be some really sad reports out of southwest Oklahoma today. Hopefully the damage was confined to rural areas. There was a counterclockwise tornado (so far I've only seen the radar signature proof, hopefully there is more) in those storms which is so rare it's not even funny.

This current weather pattern has definitely increased my anxiety level…

Is that really thing? I wouldn't have even thought that was possible?

I mistyped. Anticyclonic is what radar observed. It IS typical for tornados to be counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere (and clockwise in the southern) however, last night in Oklahoma, there was radar evidence of anticyclonic (or here, clockwise rotation) tornados.

Holy crap. I have flushed my toilet at least 10,000 times and I have NEVER seen it run backwards. Then again, maybe I haven't paid enough attention!

Monday is a day to keep an eye on and see how things evolve. From the Wichita NWS

The EPS/GEFS continue to advertise a vigorous upper jet nosing into Kansas late
Monday where high quality moisture is progged in the warm sector. It
is looking like a synoptically evident event unfolding where
significant severe weather may unfold including supercells with very
large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes.

We had an inch !!

This is 30% w/Significant Severe, depending on tornado probability is maybe a Moderate Risk on Monday.

Not even worth a “that’s what she said”, but better than nuttin.

Moderate risk in SC Kansas, including Wichita for Monday afternoon and evening. This is something worth paying attention to see how it eveloves. I expect the risk area will move some. Day2.jpg

[SB Shock]

The first Day 1 outlook. SPC has enlarged the Moderate area. It is possible (for at least OK) that this may be upgraded to High Risk due to tornadoes later in the day if they get more confidence on location and the tornado risk increases. Not everybody is going to get a high-end storm, but if there is a discrete supercell heading your way, be prepared, as it will probably go tornadic. The best thing to happen is a line of storms develop and a good chunk of Kansas gets rain.

The 4PM to 8PM time frame across south central Kansas into Oklahoma
looks like the window when things could be at peak severity(most
favorable area for a Severe Weather Outbreak to occur). Any
discrete supercell in this environment would be capable of
producing very damaging winds up to 80mph, giant hail up to
softball size, and strong potentially longer-track tornadoes.

[ShockerFever]

They are upgrading to high risk.

Where's Reed chasing today?

[SB Shock]

Graphic for high risk. High risk happens like once or twice a year.
