Good news out of Buffalo County, Wisconsin, Sheriff’s Office reports no injuries after a house was struck by a tornado. Heavy damage being reported across the state, but thankful everyone is safe here. #wiwx #Wisconsin #tornadodamage

@AnubizzzBurner @chazzzwx I called it from this morning, I will hold my breath to see what really happens, but I feel people were too quick to jump the gun on the northern mode.

@chazzzwx HRRR seriously overestimated the cloud cover. What an absolute joke of a CAM

oh yeah today is about to be crazy y’all

I think the HRRR vastly overestimated the amount of Early Convection in the northern mode.

@AnubizzzBurner Cape overperforming too

Noticing how there's not any early initiation in the OWS right now. The validity recent runs are coming into question

@AnubizzzBurner Moderate incoming

Look what I mean all of these will start rotating before the crashing CF rolls in

Wisconsin is starting to look more semi-discrete

Wisconsin might *do* something tomorrow

@StarInBoxWx What I do notice, is unlike Tuesday, Tomorrow is forecast to have a stronger and earlier LLJ overspread most of WI, by 1-4 pm at least by most HRRR runs. Early storms could cause serious issues before upscale growth, depending on how fast that happens.

This doesn't mean a high-end event won't materialize, but it could be subdued by a messier storm mode. Still, any supercell that can take advantage of this volatile environment will be capable of producing strong-intense, long-tracked tornadoes and very large hail.

I'm inclined to believe that the storm mode could get quite messy in WI/IA/IL tomorrow. While shear vectors are more orthogonal and synoptic forcing isn't too strong, high-CAPE, with a more saturated profile is a recipe for tons of storms across the OWS.

WISCONSIN AGAIN???

@Gio_wx Wisconsin wants another chance.

Well...that is certainly an intriguing 00z HRRR run for the severe threat on Friday, April 17th. This depicts a potent supercell/tornado risk across Wisconsin. Very impressive thermos w/enlarged hodographs. Plenty of things to iron out in 48 hours, but interesting nonetheless.

@JaydonShawwx That is a mushroom cloud 😭

Absolute nuke to my east

@AnubizzzBurner @ItsRobWX we watched it happen last year with 3/14

@ItsRobWX I've watched setups go from linear systems to full on tornado outbreaks within 36 hours

Don't read the comments people who actually live in the area.

@AnubizzzBurner Northern mode around IA/MN/WI has my attention based on 18z HRRR

@AnubizzzBurner 18z & 00z Nam have the worst warm sector ever, idk if long range Nam just sucks tho

Friday looks like a QCLS with discrete cells ahead of it like Dixie kind of day

- Damage Survey Update - The tornado that impacted Ottawa, Kansas on April 13 has been rated mid-range EF2, with peak estimated winds of 125 mph, according to the National Weather Service office in Topeka, Kansas.
