You beat me to it. Lol April is starting to look very very favorable for severe weather on the ensembles. Very strong signal imo

Might not be able to get moisture back for the second week of April

That's just the GFS, it sounds like the conflict between the Operational models & the Ensembles are coming back again

I mean this is a hell of a system… sub-1000mb for a few days. Causes some backside snow. I’ll be surprised if the cold front doesn’t move through the Gulf

Noticed that the Cold Front gets past Cuba, that's rare for April terms

0z GFS is showing quite the instability there for 4/5 and especially 4/6. Of course there's more to it than just that but we just saw what Wednesday was able to do with not much instability. Hopefully we see it downtrend but we're entering the peak month for severe weather in the deep south so we'll see.

There may be quite a few of you who may not remember this, but 4/2/2006 was a day with a whopping 872 storm reports, and  86 preliminary tornado reports, 66 confirmed tornado reports (according to Wikipedia), and some deadly tornadoes. The storm report map did not have the distinction between filtered and unfiltered reports at that time. (I am not sure if the SPC posted filtered storm report information on the map.) The lower Ohio River is covered with blue and green report dots.

Can always count on there to be severe weather on the anniversary of the 1974 Super Outbreak. Coming up on 50 years soon.

Dayton sounding about 3 hours after the Cincinnati and Xenia F5s. Unfortunately, they didn't do a 18z sounding. Otherwise that would've sampled the environment 2 hours before the infamous tornadoes.

yeah, so crazy to think that one way to look back at this is with somebody's camera photo/polaroid of a radar screen, now you could have megabytes of data at your disposal on various radar computer programs to investigate the a tornado such as the Xenia tornado. 

This my best observed data from *Dayton, Ohio* from the time period of the April 11, 1965 tornado outbreak, which nearly hit my mom and dad, even though they were in different cities!

The scale and magnitude of 1974, and to a lesser extent 1965, is unfathomable. I see some people on Twitter ask what tornadoes/tornado outbreaks you wish you had super hires radar for… I don’t know how either of those outbreaks aren’t unanimously #1. Jarrell and Bridge Creek-Moore are basically the only other answers but they deserve the #3+ spot imo

Got a 90 sigtor ingredient contour for tomorrow. The question will be if a supercell can develop and stay ahead of the maturing MCS long enough to really get going.

Tomorrow looks like the first relatively strongly unstable MCS day

Here's my image of the 2013 Moore tornado based on Level-2 archived data. I can pull up data from the original day, but that was only GRLevel3, which is a little worse. It is still possible to download Level-2 or Level-3 data from 1999, but I am pretty sure the Hi-res is not going to be there, and dual-pol won't be there.

Yeah I have GR2 data from 5/3/99 but of course, it's the bare essentials and low quality. It was only a touch better than the modern composite reflectivity.

Dual-pol was introduced in 2012 so that's out of the question
