We went and checked out the Pleasant Hill area after it moved through. Loss of power for many, minor debris and heard of one injury. If that's all, they lucked out. 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Black Hole Posted April 27 Author Report Share Posted April 27 We've got a moderate for severe from SPC and for rain from WPC: Some ML guidance shows the highest threat more towards my area like nadocast: But others like CSU is a bit further west: I'm inclined to think the biggest severe weather threat will be further west towards OKC. I expect to see several strong tornadoes and reports of very large hail. As the storms congeal we will get a wind/QLCS threat morphing into a heavy rain/flood threat overnight. I don't think we will get anything truly crazy, but a couple of inches wouldn't shock me. 3 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...
Black Hole Posted April 27 Author Report Share Posted April 27 For the early afternoon SRH is limited but CAPE is huge. The CAPE is probably overstated given entrainment, but this does certainly support large hail Later in the day the hodograph blows out as the LLJ kicks in. This looks more like a QLCS tornado threat as a presumably linear feature moves in. 3 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...
Grizzcoat Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Right one went wedge and hit Minburn. Saw at least 7 tornadoes and saw 2 tornadoes together twice.

Timmy Supercell Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Haven't had a bunch of time to track these most recent storms. I heard part of Omaha had a wedge tornado? I can remember a few saying there should be a moderate risk but the SPC never put one up.

Hawkeye Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Tonight is still uncertain for us. Models are predicting anything from a half inch to three inches of rain. I'm afraid the ones showing storms popping near to just south of us and then propagating southeastward will be correct. That would dump inches of rain over southeast Iowa down into Missouri, but much less here. 1 1 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...

That sounds wonderful and I think you will have full ponds after this event...you've missed out on the previous storm chance but now it appears the tables have turned. Not just you, but a lot of peeps on here have scored. @Grizzcoat, you really did a good job capturing those TOR's and I'm sure this will be a vivid memory that will be remembered for the rest of your life. I'd love to go storm chasing one day and be able to hear the sights and sounds of a EF 3 or higher. Just and incredible thing to be able to witness. Those wedge TOR's were just picturesque Beasts across NE into IA! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkstwelve Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Ended up being too far north for the severe weather, mainly just had a couple rumbles of thunder. We did receive some beneficial rainfall though with 1.12 in the bucket. We are now above average for total April precip. If I knew the tornado outbreak was going to be as prolific as it was down near Omaha yesterday I would have tried to make my way down there and check it out. Ever since I watched Twister as a kid, I've always wanted to see a tornado in person. Maybe one day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I'm fine being in the cold sector of this storm. Any rain is beneficial after the dud of a winter.

Bryan1117 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Getting a nice steady generous rain here after some thunderstorms rolled through earlier this afternoon… finally passed the 1 inch mark for storm total rainfall earlier. Looks like the heavy swath of convection to the south (in KS/ MO) might eat away at our heavy rain/ thunderstorm potential for tonight… however I am really enjoying this soaking rainfall right now without the destruction from yesterday’s storms. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andie Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Mets are trying to prepare people for a Saturday night at home if they’ll listen. Large hail, high wind and a possible tornado. (I hate nighttime tornados). Currently 77*. Humidity at 79%. Wind officially 17mph but I’ve been out there. It’s a good deal higher and gustier. A line of strong storms are currently from Snyder, Texas to Lawton, Okla moving SSE. The cap has remained in place this afternoon but we’re expecting that to change overnight. With strong evening storms. Hoping for no night tornados. 2 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.
