Black Hole Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 A multi day severe weather outbreak will occur across the southern and central Plains beginning as soon as Wednesday. Persistent troughing west of the area will encourage warm and moist southerly flow with repeated rounds of dry line convection possible. Forecast parameters and pattern recognition show obvious severe potential, potentially significantly severe. It always comes down to the details, but we will have multiple chances for something. For my part of the country, I suspect Friday-Sunday will be our main window but time will tell. 5 2 1 Quote Winter 23-24: Total Snow (3.2") Total Ice (0.2") Coldest Low: 1F Coldest High: 5F Snow Events: 0.1" Jan 5th, 0.2" Jan 9th, 1.6" Jan 14, 0.2" (ice) Jan 22, 1.3" Feb 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 This is the part of the pattern that can put a dent in the ongoing drought and will likely produce alot of damaging storms. Here's some thought from Gary Lezak as this is by far the most exciting stretch of weather in this years pattern and he thinks 3-5 inches of rain over the next 10 day is certainly possible for the KC area. Weather 2020 Well, here we are almost 45-days after the strongest and most deadly severe weather outbreak in this year's LRC, March 12-14, and around 135 days after the other big winter outbreak in this part of the LRC, December 9th. Gary Lezak @glezak Do you remember this day in the previous cycle? 3 people were killed in western Ohio. This part of the pattern is cycling back through, one of our signature long-range predictions, in the next six days!

If you know the LRC, then you know it is due around 4/28 Pi-Day event had its interesting parts. Before the main bout of supercells in IN/OH, there was one lonely supercell that travelled from near Cincinatti all the way to my vicinity a few hours prior, with nothing else picking up on JKL radar around that time. Then all the later night storms developed into an MCS hitting me around 2am. Overall the Feb 28 and April 2 events gave me much more of a uh-oh feeling in the gut. Pi-Day had a ton of large hailers, and a few storms that happened to hold together a stronger tornado. Not to say 3/14 wasn't a good one though, Ohio was a surprise during that one as they weren't exactly bullzeyed at first. 1 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 16 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, 3/30, 3/31, 4/2, 4/3, 4/8, Severe storms: 2 ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Heavy rain and severe weather looking more likely for mby Thursday- Sunday. Friday and Saturday looking like the best bet for severe weather in my area. Sunday will likely be the biggest day of this event for severe weather but the action will likely be to my east.

Hawkeye Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 For days I've been excited about storms and heavy rain this weekend. However, as is the case all too often, models are backing off as we approach the start. Some models are drying out my area big time. Instead of 2+ inches, there are now models showing less than a half inch Friday and less than an inch total all weekend. Regarding the first wave on Friday, it has slowed and it doesn't arrive here until midday Friday when the storms are crapping out. The second wave is still very up in the air. A few models insist there will be a plume of heavy rain from Missouri up through southeast Iowa. Other models (Euro) say the heavy rain will be in northern Iowa into Minnesota, with no heavy band from Missouri into southeast Iowa. Once again, I am having to greatly lower my expectation and just hope we can get an inch out of this entire weekend. On top of the BS this weekend, there is suddenly a trend on some models toward early May being much less warm and active compared to what they've been advertising in recent days. 1 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaycee_CHI Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Seems like these Severe WX setups are taking similar tracks to the snowstorms earlier this winter. Chicago just can’t get a win with the setups! Luckily we’re not in a drought or anything, but boring weather has really been our signature so far. The same area of Missouri and Southern Iowa are under en enhanced risk for days on end, but the system just doesn’t move east afterwards.
