This tornado possessed an extremely violent core, a feature you only see with high end tornadoes. Images like these just make your heart sink.

A few tornadoes (a couple EF2+) will be possible across parts of Arkansas and vicinity tomorrow, mainly during the late afternoon and evening hours. Supercells may develop, in a fairly high-sheared environment, supporting supercells and tornadoes. It's currently uncertain how much destabilization will occur, which will play a role in determining the severity of the hail/tornado threat. Large-very large hail and damaging winds will be possible as well.

Fascinating to watch the Mulhall cell struggle to produce a sig tornado until it got a nudger

I would like to order one June Texas panhandle setup, please.

@tornadotrx At least nobody has leaked themselves this year. 2025 could never😭

This whole community can be so insufferable. We shit on each other so much for such a niche tight knit interest. We need to start spreading gratitude and positivity to each other, we’re all in this together.

I am hereby partnered with 7:42pm CDT #SPC Day1 Outlook Marginal Risk: FOR PORTIONS PF CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. Looking forward to a fruitful collaboration with the best in the business.

@Clint_wx Thanks I thought of it myself👍

I know the front half of May will be unremarkable, but surely we’re not this desperate right?

The man — the myth — the Broyles. This was an absolute career highlight and an amazing privilege; a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to interview Chris via Zoom. He emailed me after and offered a one-on-one tutorial of his research and novel forecasting techniques. The offer was beyond humbling. Today, I got to sit down with him for two hours and learn about his team’s groundbreaking research surrounding jet streak translation speeds and a variety of other factors. To say I learned a LOT would be an understatement. An equally-skilled teacher as forecaster. Many of you know Broyles from some famed tornado outlooks — like in 2012, when he presciently issued a day-two high risk despite models showing no rainfall. The next day, swarms of strong to violent tornadoes materialized exactly where he had anticipated. He proved correct, and the top-notch analysis and gut instinct earned him a congressional silver medal. It was amazing to see how much technical in-the-weeds meteorology goes into each of his upper-echelons forecasts, as well as the impressive and promising verification statistics of some of the agency’s more recently-created tools. Chris’s OMEGA research rose to prominence following a “surprise” high risk outlook on April 2, 2025. A lot of meteorologists, including myself, were caught off guard — we didn’t see it coming, and convective-allowing (thunderstorm-simulating) models were tepid. By 4 p.m., a string of violent tornado supercells were traversing the high risk area through northeastern Arkansas exactly where Chris had drawn it. The brazen forecast, based on years of research, verified — and ultimately saved lives. Chris was exceptionally kind in answering all my questions thoughtfully and comprehensively. I didn’t realize until after that this was all on his own time — his shift hadn’t even started yet. For someone at his level to give an early-career professional two hours just for the sake of teaching speaks volumes about his character. @NWSSPC has some phenomenal minds — and people.

Şanlıurfa'da çıkan hortuma bakın...

On this day, 27 years ago, we chased what is well-known as the strongest #tornado in History. This shows the F5 tornado near peak intensity, just after devastating the community of Bridge Creek, Oklahoma. Aa freshman meteorology students at OU, we stupidly abandoned our Geo Tracker and took shelter under an overpass. Research was published that overpasses can accelerate the tornadic wind and be even more dangerous. We then saw the terrible devastation in Moore, Oklahoma with horses wandering down the highway and people emerging from their destroyed homes. Over 50 people lost their lives from the May 3, 1999 tornado outbreak. There was another massive violent tornado with a supercell to the north near Mulhall, Oklahoma that peaked after sunset. The tornado outbreak was still going when I woke up for class the next morning at 7 am. This is a day that Oklahomans will never forget. Enjoy the nice weather this May 3,

Let me repeat this. Do NOT seek shelter underneath overpasses.

ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE APRILS FOR SEVERE WEATHER SINCE 2011! April 2026 had the most severe thunderstorm warnings since 2011, #2 for #tornado warnings behind 2024, and #3 for confirmed tornadoes so far. The shape of the individual troughs did not support the major tornado outbreaks of 2011, but 2026 ended being the most active April since 2011 in terms of severe weather. The last three years have had much above-normal springs for tornadoes in the U.S., all driven by the warm-phase North Pacific Oscillation that has persisted since late 2022. Never stop chasing

As expected, some severe weather is possible during the middle of next week as a cutoff low moves into the Plains. This causes an overlap of better shear and lift with increasing moisture and instability. A more detailed thread on this thread and the rest of May will come later!

@Mighty__Muffins I knew we could do it🦬⚔️

HOLY SHIT GAME OVER!!!! GAME OVER!!!! #SABRES WIN THE SERIES!!!!! I WAITED 20 YEARS FOR THIS!!!! THIS TEAM IS ON A WARPATH THAT IS CUP WORTHY!!! GET FUCKED BOSTON!!!!

Finally got around to making a loop from the severe weather sequence from April 23rd (Thursday) to April 29th (Tuesday). This was a very active stretch, with a total of 103 tornado reports, 500 hail reports, and 501 damaging wind reports. Along with this, a total of 264 tornado warnings and 1,218 severe thunderstorm warnings were issued.

Just intercepted wind gusts easily up to 100mph in Point Comfort, Texas. Ripped pieces of metal off the building next to me (you can hear it at the 16 second mark) and trees/powerlines down, power is out in town @weathertrackus @RadarOmega

@soonermagik @ReedTimmerUSA Largely unfavorable for severe weather until at least mid-May with a western ridging/eastern troughing pattern.

@ReedTimmerUSA Long range models update?

It’s May - you chase

@Mighty__Muffins Any room on the bandwagon for a dejected Stars fan?

GAME 6 #SABRES NIGHT! Gonna get some sleep in a bit cause it's a big night to try and once again close out the stupid ass Bruins.
