Stuff has behaved in the LOT cwa so far. Definitely had some concern about how the afternoon (say 12-6 pm) was going to go. Haven't really dug into it much, but perhaps just ended up a little short on instability. It can be a very fine line between not having enough instability and having enough for a bunch of low-topped tornadic cells. We'll see how things go later on.

Sandwiched between tornado watches here with one west of me and one east of me.

Good idea

The March pattern with a +NAO leading to ridge in the SW precedes a lot of El Nino's. 14-15 was an analog.. led to 2015-2016 Super Nino. Actually that was the #2 year on record after this year.

are any of those 'Snap backs' Super Ninos?
