No more tornado warnings as of right now. We're under a ST warning but really no wind. A lot of quarter-sized hail. Apparently they're getting baseball sized east of here.

That shit will really **** up yer murano

Its sunny and raining...good day.

These storms picked up some serious energy as it passed just east of us. The line is now producing large, long-track tornadoes just to our southeast.

We had a couple episodes of hail, pea to marble size, in south CoMo. The second batch came while the sun was out. Pretty cool looking.

Large wedge tornado on the ground southwest of Iowa City.

When the tornado passed through Wellman it was more than a mile wide. The debris signature on radar almost looks like it's own formation and it extends for TWENTY miles from the core of the storm.

ugh

the wind in KC today is crazy

i have three rocks on my gutter extensions

There's currently 17 active tornado warnings being tracked all the way from Arkansas to Iowa.

Initial reports suggest more than 600 injured in Little Rock this afternoon.

Big line heading our way. Just moved my truck to garage as county next door baseball size hail.

You're east of me, right?

The eastern 3rd of Iowa is getting pummeled.

Some of the confirmed tornadoes are MASSIVE.

The line in Iowa is starting to flatten and transition to a forward wind event. The real area of concern right now is from northern Arkansas to east central Missouri. St. Louis looks to be right in the crosshairs.

This has been an absolutely incredible day of weather.

And it’s far from done. The northern line may develop into a derecho yet. And there’s going to be tornadoes into Tennessee overnight.

The good people of Iowa and Arkansas don’t deserve this shit

Absolutely insane weather

We had snow
Anywhere between 5-11 inches coming in. I had about 8.
It is wet, and heavy, and I am not sure I can get through what the snow plow just did to the driveway.

At least ours will melt and go away.

I think so, I’m in Cedar Falls. It got crazy last night around 5pm. High straight line winds following the front. Temperature swing has been incredible. Today winds are consistently blowing at 40+.
I live next to a disc golf course and they are having a tournament today. I have no idea how they are going to control their throws today because the wind is going to mess them up. Plus the temperatures are currently in the high 20s.
Glad I missed the cutoff for signing up for this one.

That is incredible footage in those vids.

What an insane day of weather from Minnesota to Arkansas.

It is so dry out here I'd welcome a shitload of severe thunderstorm warnings along with the tornadoes.

We already get the 50-90mph winds without any of the good stuff, so why not?

We are under the damn gun again.

As I posted last week, Friday was the first time since 2014 that Iowa had a "high risk" area. We're in one again today. So, after 9 years, we now have 2 in one week.

Not only that but as someone mentioned, Friday was one of the only times in history there were discrete "high risk" areas in 2 different parts of the country. Today, there's two discrete areas.

This is getting ridiculous.

This "Harper" tornado is the one I was talking about that hit Wellman.

And **** THAT state in particular
https://i.imgflip.com/2s32jc.jpg

Just got some hail. They were no bigger than buckshot sized, but for a few minutes that shit was intense. I'm sure being outside would have really sucked. Scared the hell out of the cats. LMAO

For the record, Southern Missouri is not going to be hit till later tonight. Their hatched zone will slowly transition from Iowa to Missouri toward the night time.

AKA

Nighttime tornados for those of you near Branson etc.

We're getting a pleasant April snow in Denver today.

For some reason I have cabin fever really bad this year. I'm usually immune to seasonal changes, but it feels like winter has lasted about 15 months this year.

It has been record snowfall across most of the West this year. So you would be correct in feeling that way.

I wonder if it's connected to the weather California is having right now. We are getting record falling rain and snow. Think I just read the snow pack here is the highest ever recorded. An "Atmospheric river" is flowing through the middle of California causing lots of firsts and record breakers.

He live streams during outbreaks and honestly gives amazing up to minute coverage on developing tornados. He could be a real life savor (Hes going on at 5)

It's hot as balls today.

Looks like everything is staying mostly east of where I am in JoMo.

We just had some customers here at work from San Antonio doing an audit, they were hauling ass to get out of here to the airport worried about tornados all day. Had a co worker text them and tell them they needed to get out of Missouri ASAP LMAO

lol well to be fair, the type of tornados predicted tonight are the large violent wedge types....

Yeah, they're predicting the potential for long-track violent tornadoes but at least here in Iowa, they're saying the setup isn't looking now like Friday's so the threat here may be more wind and hail.

Who knows at this point.

The only storms in Iowa right now are SW of Des Moines, outside of even the lowest risk area.

I've been thinking the cape values in Iowa didn't look as promising for tornados as it did Southern Missouri

We're having 60-70 MPH here in the TX panhandle. ****ing dust bowl! Hate this place. Would rather be in a Tornado to at least get some rain!

Exactly. Similar regions affected as Friday but the atmospheric conditions aren't the same, at least not here.

The real action is likely to be much further south, into NE TX, Arkansas, and SE MO.

I live a couple of hours west of St. Joe, and work in southern Nebraska. Coming home at 4:00, I could see the thunderheads building over the Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri "corner" area. They were massive from 2 hours away.

The line coming out of NW MO into western IA is looking like it might have some strong cells in it but so far nothing severe.

Friday, a big straight line wind storm threw a dumpster 75 yards and smashed it into my truck, and ripped a roof off the shade I built on my deck last summer.

Today, there are 30-40 degree temp differences within the state and sharnadoes are certain to hulk smash stuff.

That's the one I was seeing. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning was posted for it according to NBC 41 out of KC.

Yeah, they were barely developed at that point. There's a line now extending from the "corner" all the way to NW of Des Moines.

At one point this afternoon, it was 57 in Dubuque and 86 in Burlington.

Yep. The cell right at the "corner" is now ST warned as is the most northern cell in western IA.

Also 44 degrees just northwest of here, and a dry line between us and St. Joe. They said when the cold front catches up to the dry line is when it is suppose to really fire up.

It's starting right about now, actually. The worst cell in the line is closest to Mound City.

The cell just north of the IA/MO border is dropping 2" hail according to spotters.

Getting dark and nasty in st joe

This is a month old but same shit storm today

Sorry Hog. They were predicting the same shit a couple hundred miles north of you but we only had 45 mph gusts.

They called out school at noon because of the forecast. Ended up being a normal day.

Why do we even live here! LOL. I've lived in South Georgia, North Carolina and East Oklahoma. Places to fish and enjoy life . I'm about ready to bail before it's toolate.

No.

****ing.

Idea.


I lived in Tulsa for 5 years. Gorgeous. I've flown all over the US, and some of Canada. Gorgeous.

Yet I live in this shithole. Farm, lots of open land around me, but no rain and at least 30 mph wind every day is making me think of moving my family and business.

I grew up in Independence Kansas. That's in the SE corner and even there life was better, water, trees and no ****ing dust storms. That's two hours North of Tulsa.

People have no idea.


We have new area residents that moved from Wyoming that said they thought it would be warmer here only to find out how bad wind chill really is. Said it's technically colder up there, but in reality feels a LOT worse here.

We have some other new neighbors (8 miles away) from the Houston area who thought it would be nice to not be as humid only to find out the opposite is a shitshow. They went from 40-50" of rain a year to less than 8" of total annual moisture.

I don't know how the farmers do it around here. It is by far the most hostile and unpredictable land to raise corn in the nation. I'd say 3/4 of the dryland wheat didn't even get cut last year. Wouldn't even help their year average for insurance purposes. :eek:

I used to fly out of AMA a lot and I know you guys aren't doing any better.

And I feel for Buehler out there on a tractor with his goggles on trying to plant that corn right now!

They just closed the highway 287 from Amarillo to Dumas due to fire blowing through.

It's all ranch land , dry as shit

I'll try to get him to take up drinking more. It's the only way.

As dry as it is where I live, it's even worse for him up north. Unreal.

I never met a farmer that didn't drink.

He does a smidge, but it's tempered.


It's not the 30 pack of Busch Light-out Saturday like some of the guys around here. LMAO

Some crazy shit around here. I have surrounding counties that have flood warnings, winter weather advisories and severe thunderstorm warnings all within 100 miles of each other. It was 60 yesterday, dropped to 40 today, now is warming overnight and will be 60 again tomorrow, only to drop to 40 by evening. This was after getting a total of 30 inches of snow a couple Saturdays in a row.

Weirdest weather I’ve ever seen.

The wind blows

Haven't checked out the reports for down south yet but up here, this didn't really amount to much.

One cell produced a tornado intermittently from around Milo (north of Osceola) to up by Malcolm, which is about 20 minutes east of me.

Other than that one cell, it was mostly a hail event. Just SE of us, they got baseball-sized hail.

Looks like the tornado threat just never materialized. There were only 15 tornado reports total last night and it looks like about half of them were from the same tornado in Fulton County, IL. Another 4 were the intermittent tornado I just mentioned.

And I just got notification I'm under a tornado warning. Yippee.

Today might end up being more active than last night.
