April 15-17, 2022 | Storms/Severe Weather


ElectricStorm

Recommended Posts

This shouldn't be anything like the last few systems, but it looks like the next system is about to move through starting tomorrow. 

For Friday we have a marginal risk up for all hazards. Moisture return and instability don't look good models tend to underestimate it a bit. HRRR shows a nice cluster of storms over NE OK/NW AR tomorrow evening, and I wouldn't be surprised to see an upgrade to slight risk.

For Saturday, marginal risk up but I wouldn't be surprised to see a slight risk at some point. Will probably have some morning convection/cloud cover issues so it might limit the threat.

SPC mentioning some severe potential will likely be possible in the southern plains and southeast on Sun-Mon but no areas have been highlighted yet. Overall, this should be mostly small-scale events but we're at the point in the year where all of these will have to be watched.

  • The title was changed to April 15-18(?), 2022 | Storms/Severe Weather

The CIPS has severe storms possible for Texas tomorrow, Saturday, & Sunday before it tapers off for only a couple of days.

 

Then it comes back in Panhandle Texas on Next Wednesday, & with a vengeance in the southern plains next Thursday (April 21st, 2022)

15z SREF has a 30% STP in Oklahoma & Arkansas

On College of Dupage, there's a legit chance that the CAPE levels will exceed 2000 J/kg in Oklahoma, I'm strongly thinking that this is likely going to be a very sneaky event.

EDIT: The 21z SREF now has 45% STP on 6z (Midnight?) in Oklahoma and Arkansas, does it appear to be an overnighter event?

'tis the season of the most mediocre setups producing significant severe weather. In addition to the 15% hatched hail, SPC added 5% tornado.

At this point, I'm pretty sure I speak for all of the South when I say: I can't wait for the Southern ridge to take over. They need a break and those of us in the north have been deprived.

   Mesoscale Discussion 0497
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0302 PM CDT Fri Apr 15 2022

   Areas affected...Northeast OK...Northwest/North-Central AR...Far
   South MO

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 152002Z - 152200Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...The environment is becoming more favorable for the
   development of supercell thunderstorms. These supercells could pose
   a threat for all severe hazards, including very large hail and
   tornadoes.

   DISCUSSION...Low-level moisture continues to rapidly spread
   northward ahead of the shortwave trough moving across central KS.
   Latest surface observations sampled 60 deg F surface dewpoints as
   far north of MLC in east-central OK. Mid 50s surface dewpoints
   reaching as far north as Tulsa County OK. This moisture advection is
   expected to persist throughout the remainder of the afternoon and
   into this evening. By 00Z, the expectation is that low 60s dewpoints
   will likely be near the OK/MO/AR border intersection. This low-level
   moisture coupled with cool mid-level temperatures (i.e. around -16
   deg C at 500mb) and associated steep mid-level lapse rates will
   support at least moderate instability. 

   Recent surface analysis shows a sharp warm front from far southeast
   KS southeastward across far southwest MO and north-central AR into
   east-central AR. Low-level convergence along this boundary coupled
   with subtle ascent attendant to the approaching shortwave and the
   destabilizing air mass to foster thunderstorm initiation. Low-level
   flow will likely remain southerly/southwesterly, but moderate to
   strong mid- and upper-level flow will still result in vertical
   profiles that support supercells with any updrafts that
   persist/mature. 

   All severe hazards will be possible with these supercells, including
   very large hail and tornadoes. Very large hail appears to be the
   most likely risk. The tornado risk will likely be maximized near the
   warm front, where low-level flow may be more backed. Additionally,
   forecast storm motion of any supercells is parallel to the warm
   front, suggesting that any cells that mature just south of warm
   front could remain in an area of favorable low-level shear for a
   notable duration. Given the potential for severe thunderstorm, a
   watch will likely be needed over portions of the region.

There's a Tornado warning in Northern Arkansas with Softball sized hail, why is that not being noticed here?

PDS warned actually.

I was trying to get @ClicheVortex2014 to come when the PDS Warning came out, I already said that, but I think that you missed it.

Think we posted at the same time. Still PDS warned.

Softball sized hail is also going as well, I don't think anyone saw this coming. (I didn't, even though I did expect maybe a overperformance, but not like this!)
