Love the foreground.

Watching this stationary thing on radar constantly spit off dead left splits is almost hypnotic.

Best screen shot i have of dual QLCS tornadoes attacking us at 3 AM last 5/24.

You could tell me the seward KS tornado was a violent tornado and i’d believe you. Just the most extraordinary plains atmosphere i’ve ever seen. Storm number actually prevented more urban violence than what took place.

Teams had the most successful IOP yet today in Colorado, featuring > 70-80 mm hailstones (large apple sized) and an unexpected tornado near Akron! Well done everyone!

Definitely did not expect a storm this good to be on the north side of town today

Looks like a blizzard hail day for ICECHIP out on Highway 385.

The 5/19 dry line bulge will be a fascinating look at distracted inflow (warm front thunderstorms), dry air intrusion from the west, and a whole lot of tornado outbreak ingredients all in one place. Great account from Dan.

21 years ago today. Close range intercept in my home turf. I get hit/cut on the leg by a stick thrown by this tornado. Glad it wasn’t metal or at my face/neck. That was the end of me caring about getting super close to tornadoes.

A big part of my appreciation of the Fujita scale died in 2011. Joplin was going to be rated an EF4, like Tuscaloosa. They didn't have a DI. It felt wrong given the death. I feel that way about Tuscaloosa, Rolling Fork, and now London. ISU mercifully figured out a way to test the parking slab.

Here's the track of the first EF-2 tornado from Sunday (Elkhorn Ranch, NW Elbert County) overlaid on the landscape as it was in 2004, and today. 20+ years ago, it would've been over open country, but now it tore through a neighborhood. Almost certainly would not have been (E)F2 in the past. #cowx

Tulsa/Wagoner updraft. The sky was simply obliterated by updrafts that afternoon.

If you thought the picture we posted yesterday was good...just check out this timelapse of the same storm! 🤯 Video courtesy of Mesonet technician Steve Thompson (taken Sunday, May 18 near Freedom, OK). #okwx #okmesonet

May everybody who tries to branch out in their mid 40s have a big sister for a hype-person!

May 21st, 2024. Rotating wall cloud over the southern Omaha metro. There are some trees just to the left of this picture for whom this moment was within the last few seconds of their life.

Adjectives are just an area to be very careful withbecause when political commentary tried them, they kind of blew up the world. It seems weird but enough adjectives can and do wreck people, not unlike hard drugs.

Saw this short-lived tornado about a mile northeast of Du Bois, Nebraska yesterday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhNc... #newx

You can still see all of the dry air that made truly robust convection hard to come by before twilight. Everything else there, though. You can tell me the Pratt/Plevda tornado was as strong as you want and I'll believe you.

This is the storm that long run worries me. I wonder if the warm front convection to the east is hurting the inflow, though.
