ON THIS DATE IN 1998: An violent F5 tornado cut a 31-mile long, 3/4-mile wide swath through nine Birmingham suburbs including Oak Grove, Sylvan Springs, Rock Creek, Pleasant Grove, Concord, Sylvan Springs, Pratt City, and Edgewater before lifting in the western limits of the City

Quite the trend towards a very dynamic ski jump for Tuesday. While I expect this shape to change with time with subsequent model runs, but yeah, that is what outbreaks look like. But claiming one day as an "outbreak" would be redundant, as multiple day period of multiple waves

OH! 00z models are coming out the gate hot with the DWD-ICON!

I have to say: I'm really starting to get concerned about tornado potential on Monday and Tuesday. There's still enough time for the setups to go off the rails. But the raw material is there for something historic. I really hope it doesn't materialize.

00z UKMET similar too. That's 00z UKMET, ICON, AIGFS, and GFS with similar solutions. These, verbatim, would likely be tornado outbreaks. Still a ways to go, but interesting to see all of these models so consistent. Yikes.

The overnight CIPS analogs for Day 5 & 6 are something to behold that I’ve personally never seen before at 120 & 144hrs out. - At 120hrs, the top analog comes from 04/25/94. - At 144hrs, the top analog comes from, uh, yea, the next day. 04/26/94. The top analog for each day

Maybe a very weak tornado near Paskenta #cawx Kevin Luo

its all coming together

La última imagen de la Tierra trasmitida en vivo por el Artemis II antes de volver al planeta

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶 The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

Our crew on the International Space Station caught a glimpse of the NASA Artemis II crew as they re-entered the atmosphere from their journey to the Moon! We first saw a bright light and a trail as the service module burned up. We didn’t see the Orion capsule itself as it re-entered, but we

Artemis II may have splashed down, but our photos and videos from the mission are still rolling in! Keep an eye on the latest: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

Well that escalated quickly. Looking like a localized corridor of tornado potential in central/northeast central Kansas. We have an MCV (swirl left by previous storms) and an outflow boundary (exhaust boundary). Could be a sneaky tornado risk:

Looking at a cluster of cells near Belleville, Kansas, including one that’s severe warned and developing a rugged base as it nears the Nebraska border. Environment becoming increasingly favorable for supercells with all-hazard potential.

Isolated storms are developing across N KS /S NE. VWP data support a strong tornado threat if supercells can become well established. However, a lack of deep-layer shear could lead to a messier mode and lower the tornado threat. Evolution needs to be watched closely.

The HP storm Northwest of Wichita, KS near Pretty Prairie appears to have produced a tornado (and still could). Compact vortex induced by very strong RFD hydrometeor momentum loading, thus leading to outflow dominance and broad mesocyclone structure. #wxtwitter
