With some cloud cover ending my aurora viewing tonight, my encounters with the May 2024 geomagnetic storms have come to a close.
An unforgettable experience. Truly blessed to have seen god’s creation in full force.
If an NWS office fails to issue warnings for tornadoes that are clearly on the ground and doing damage, maybe it’s a sign that their employees are being overworked/overwhelmed?
When there’s a localized tornado outbreak like last night, I think nearby NWS offices should help pick
From NWS Wichita’s area forecast discussion regarding Saturday
“strong to potentially violent tornadoes” is something we haven’t seen mentioned in quite some time.
Although trends can change, Saturday really has the potential to be a high-end tornado event. Not something to
Outbound velocities were maxed out on radarscope with the tornado near Hollister OK. G2G velocity near 260mph!!!
If someone has a link to the spreadsheet that estimates tornado intensity I’d love to implement this data

They were triplets, all named Bernie Gores with different middle names. Bernie Richard Gores died in Afghanistan. Bernie McGravy Gores died in Ukraine. Bernie Samuel Gores died in this mass shooting. It’s heartbreaking to see all 3 brothers died in the span of a year. RIP💔🕊
The Enhanced Fujita scale is flawed and very inconsistent. It often doesn’t indicate the actual strength of a tornado. I think that DOW data should be implemented when applicable
The Saffir-Simpson scale for tropical cyclones isn’t damage based, so I don’t see any reason why
Wow! Look at all the enhanced (and a moderate) risks we’ve had in a row since April 25th. The streak might end this weekend (probably on Sunday) but if it does, it will quickly resume on Monday.

Lots of wxtwitter drama after a tornado outbreak, as is tradition.
Moral of the story:
EF scale is flawed.
Don’t drive like an asshole.
Saturday verified, but not how we expected it to.
Don’t steal tornado media.
Don’t monetize tornado damage media. (I’m talking about you
When the never convecting, usually linear biased if it does 3k NAM fires discrete supercells, you know something’s up. Tomorrow is definitely a day to be weather aware!
12z RRFS with a supercell explosion by 5pm in the plains on Saturday. Any storm in the open warm sector could be strongly tornadic given the favorable parameter space.
NAM is still on board with a solution favoring discrete tornadic supercells. Timing of the trough ejection is a little slower compared to the first run suggesting more of an overnight threat with this solution. Keep in mind this is the NAM at hour 78 so things can change and
Lots of hubbub about the possible messy convective mode on Saturday.
If it means anything, the 3z RAP solution could favor a more discrete mode at least initially. Bulk shear vector orientation in respect to the dryline has a pretty solid degree of perpendicularity, especially
If it weren’t for a very stubborn cap, we could have seen a tornado outbreak in Oklahoma tomorrow night. Very intense shear profiles. As of now it appears the cap will be too strong and CAMs don’t show any convection down there.
