I've released a major update to mesoview.app: ~ Dark mode ~ All SPC mesoanalysis products ~ WPC surface analysis ~ Pivotal Weather model data ~ Point soundings ~ Shareable URLs for real-time and archived data Enjoy, and let me know if you run into any bugs!

SPC has now outlined severe weather risks for 5 of the next 6 days as we dive into a more active period for severe weather across parts of the US: *Tomorrow (Wed, April 8): Marginal Risk (level 1/5) for a few high-based storms w/ isolated large hail/damaging wind threat along frontal zone in Kansas *Thursday, April 9: Marginal Risk (level 1/5), potentially sneaky day with well-structured, all-hazards supercells possible along frontal zone in Kansas, transitioning to more multicells with isolated hail/damaging wind across west Texas *Saturday, April 11: Slight Risk-equivalent 15% area centered on west Texas for mixed-mode convection, including supercells, along a dryline as southwesterly flow overspreads the southern Plains...large hail/damaging winds the main threats *Sunday, April 12: Slight Risk-equivalent 15% area from southern Kansas to Texas for risk of supercells, potentially featuring all hazards, as impulse overspreads southern Plains *Monday, April 13: Slight Risk-equivalent 15% area from Midwest to southern Plains More risks to be outlined beyond Monday in subsequent outlooks. I'll have more info, including forecast videos, as we get closer to each of these days.

Take a look at that active period! It appears we may have conditions favorable for storms somewhere in the plains every day starting on Thursday and going out all the way to the end of the GEFS run.

6 April Screenshot Roundup: 1. Low pressure bringing Florida some much needed rain 2. Late-season lake-effect snow in the UP of Michigan 3. Light precip in the equatorward entrance region of a jet streak in South Dakota 4. Rain associated with a shortwave moving through Arizona

Recently, I began a detailed analysis of the May 25, 2008 Parkersburg–New Hartford, Iowa EF5 tornado using Google Earth Pro imagery, official NWS data, and other sources. What initially appeared to be a single long-track tornado quickly turned into something much more complex… 🧵

Quick photo of a thunderstorm this evening out to the northwest, perfect setup with the lightning #PAwx

Stripping away "the cloud" to visualize a supercell's anatomy, there are several take aways... 1. Downdrafts are not steady state features! 2. SVCs can contribute to *LLMC* enhancement 3. RFD surges may "collect" & converge vortex patches beneath the LLMC

Possible tornado ongoing south east of Tyler Texas!

Possible weak tornado coming into van buren, AR!

Baby tornado in Illinois today to start off April. Was just happy to be out there experiencing the storms :) #ilwx

The rope tornado in West Liberty, IA from yesterday’s supercell

Thanks to NASA and Artemis II, we can pretty much visualize a SKEW-T via this time lapse of the launch from my GoPro that was set up on a rock in Titusville. Enjoy! @foxweather

5% CIG1 tornado risk in... ...Checks notes... The central IL MRGL risk tomorrow???

Mammatus and rainbows stole the show at sunset! Snapped near Laura, IL in northwest Peoria County.

The classic PA weather divide! ☀️🏔️🌧️ SWPA is soaking up sun, but the rest of PA is stuck in a "wedge." SE winds are trapping cool Atlantic air against the mountains, keeping the East damp & chilly while the West stays warm. A quintessential COLD AIR DAMMING set up. ↖️📉 #PAwx

@PAweatherPhoto woah where was this

Some more high-based spider lightning beneath a little thundershower in western PA tonight. Not the best view but I like how it peeks through the bare trees

@QuadWeather Hey! Hope you’re doing well. I was wondering if there are any plans to add a “save image” feature in the future. It’s something a lot of my radar friends and I would really love to see, so I just wanted to pass that along in case it hasn’t been considered :) Screenshots don't work well on my end unfortunately, I prefer them without the beam height & gate value info, but I can't find a workaround for it. Just wanted to see if this was possible!

Another tornado on the ground NW of Dixon IL. Deep TDS with a tight velocity signature! #tornado

Possibly strong tornado near Delmar, IA. This tornado is moving very fast to the north east. #tornado
