They had to shelter in the bathroom, but are okay.I couldn’t even imagine living somewhere where the weather is actually a threat to your life several months a year. Glad they are ok.

Glad they are ok. Even a fairly run of the mill thunderstorm out there is more intense than pretty much anything I have ever seen in the western lowlands. The kids are used to it, they have to shelter a couple times a year. Their area has not had a major tornado 1991, but there was a small one that touched nearby last year, an EF1 or so. Joplin, Missouri is about an hour NE of where they live. It does make me nervous on stormy days like today. I stream Tulsa channel 6 on my computer during severe outbreaks , they have a really good Met who they will go live to for hours.

Late May to August here is also very southern..it’s all convective precip, no cloudy days/stratiform stuff. But it’s a shorter severe season with a lower tornado risk compared to the Plains. March and April are very active in the Plains but essentially dormant here. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Strong 4CH tend to pump more monsoonal moisture north.Hmm..I’m getting an inverted result in A/M/J (and for northern regions, M/J/J as well) with a wide Hadley Cell and broad 4CH. Higher precip in the inter-mountain SW and Rockies during J/A/S, which I presumed was monsoonal (not a true monsoon of course, but the term is still used). The PMM and presence of a STJ (or lack there of) seems to matter significantly, though. And I’m factoring that into the equation this summer. 2 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 For all the Alaska vortex lovers on this forum, it looks like Utqiaġvik, Alaska dropped to -20°F this AM. First record low there since December 2007, less than a year before the inception of the -PMM/cold phase cycle (which terminated in 2013). Also appears to be the coldest temperature observed there this late in the season by 11°F. 3 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
