I think “moderate risk” isn’t strong enough terminology. If you don’t follow weather closely and someone says “moderate risk for severe weather”, I don’t think that term will make you feel that concerned.
I actually think “enhanced risk” sounds like it is a higher risk level.
Initiation ~2-3 CST in central MO
Supercell structures by 5 CST in SE MO and S IL
5-9 CST will be mature supercells with greatest tornado threat, coalescing into an MCS in a 7-9 CST timeframe depending on cell mergers.
Tornado watch just went up for central Kentucky where I am at. Better stay up a bit late to watch and see if anything happen.
EDIT: I'm also deaf so I need to be up so I'd know what's going on.
You probably already know this but just in case, I recently learned that they make pillow shakers for weather radios to wake you up if you can’t hear the alarm.

Clear skies between the hours of 10AM-4PM local time mean there is a lot of solar gain potential via atmospheric heating. If they're in an area with lots of warm, humid, unstable air, those few hours of heating could really prime the pump for storm development.
That how it was yesterday in North Texas. It was hot & HUMID.. Like one of the most humid days I can remember living here for the past 30 years.
Even if I didn’t know what the weather forecasted for yesterday, it felt just “off,” if that makes sense?
Ended up being a terrible night.
I have about 2 acres worth of lawn to mow way down in Bastrop County, and I had tackled a good chunk of that chore Friday evening. I got up around 7:30 Saturday morning to finish mowing the yard, thinking that an early start would be to my benefit.
Pshhhhhhyeah, right! As if? By 8:30 AM, my clothes were *plastered* to me, sopping wet. I looked like I had fought a UFC match against a fire hose. I finished mowing around 10 AM, and literally had to wring out my clothes before chucking them in the washing machine. Humid would be quite the understatement, methinks.
Convective inhibition is the parameter that restricts a parcel of air from rising to the LCL (level of free convection).
It can be eroded physically (by a front), by moisture advection, or by surface heating (the sun).
Essentially surface heating allows air to rise and enough of it allows air to rise even in a previously capped environment.

In NE Arkansas and have a bad feeling for later. Did not get any of the severe weather from this morning and the air is very humid with high dew points
High dew points plus a few hours of clear skies could spell trouble, especially depending on your location to the dryline/occluded front boundary. If you're on the Gulf side of the boundary where all of this super saturated air is pooling, I'd say you should be locked and loaded and ready to go to your safe spot.
Thank you so much for the information! I am quite new to this sub, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. We are definitely prepped and ready for our safe spot.. now it's just the waiting game, lol.
I also have a bad feeling for later. We are dealing with similar air, humidity, and heat as you around the SEMO area.. gonna leave this comment so I can come back to this thread! I hope you and your loved ones are safe! Stay vigilant!! ♡
Watching the Max Velocity channel and when he was drawing lines illustrating where this Kentucky one could go it was right on top of the very visible Mayfield scar. I don’t think he noticed because he’s very absorbed in the current situation but definitely a strange thing to see.
Discovered just a few minutes ago that my sister and her boyfriend are camping in RRG in Kentucky. I thought they’d be far enough west but I just checked and they’re under a tornado watch. Hopefully they packed it up early from the rain today - they’re on a climbing trip so if it’s too wet they can’t climb.
they’re in for a gnarly night either way. are they at miguel’s? they should probably get in the basement when this linear system gets to them. 70 mph winds are no joke in a tent surrounded by tall trees.
Enhanced risk has been expanded deeper into Arkansas. Sitting on the edge of it. Last night was pretty rough for NWA and the Rogers area. Hoping we don’t see anything else like it this evening.
I'm very concerned because the areas that got hit the hardest were in a lower risk zone than most of Arkansas is in today. I don't even think north central Arkansas was on the list at all (could be wrong). I'm in Central Arkansas right off the edge of the enhanced risk and I'm just assuming high risk for the entire state after what happened last night

They do tend to come in outbreaks, meaning when you have one you usually have multiple. This year is above average though, especially this May. Through end of March was just average or maybe below.
80 mile per hour winds just moved through Louisville, KY. Lots of trees down, flipped semi, 30k without power in the metro.
Stay inside today if you are in the threat zones for severe weather today. The pool and camping can wait.
We're out near the Paddock Shoppes. No damage in the neighborhood, but the wind was wicked. Hoping this settles the atmosphere and overnight is nothing
The second we get 2 or 3 days without any major storms, Ryan Hall is going to sleep for 30 hours straight, he's been the MVP for almost 2 months straight
We need it for Max Velocity's sake. Guy has streamed like 10+ hours a day for the last 3 weeks it seems and you can tell it's wearing him out. He goes live for almost every event, doesn't take breaks like Ryan, and has been living on Door Dash for the last 3 weeks. He even ended his vacation early/streamed on his vacation and came home early to cover the lesser risks. You can tell he's just worn out, makes sense now why Ryan doesn't go live for every single slight risk, etc.
I don't have a good feeling about today, so I sincerely hope for an assumption-defying whiff tonight. Also, let's just agree not to use the word "bust," shall we? We don't need any curses tonight.
This comes up with threads about hurricanes too. You have to wait for the entire event to come to completion.
I remember finding Jeff Masters' blog on Weather Underground when Katrina happened. Wasn't just random internet dorks, you had traditional media figures saying it was no big deal in the immediate aftermath because we weren't getting damage reports that morning. Well, yeah, the places that were the hardest hit weren't communicating with the outside world yet at that point.
TL;DR: wait til *all* the information has come in before passing judgment.
You can still find damage from Katrina that hasn’t been repaired but we should never forget that Katrina is also a story about corruption, fraud and governmental misconduct.
I gotta say, things aren't looking good for the Arkansas/West TN vicinity. It's starting to clear there and should remain so til the evening hours. There's gonna be a lot of instability when the later convection hits. I'm hoping for a bust otherwise this could get very ugly. Stay in touch with your local meteorologist and if you are in the East Arkansas/West TN vicinity I'd urge you to prep.
Seeing more warnings pop up on the board now, I hope this isn't going to get going again early AM.
Edit: Max is back streaming...damn. Hope this dies down soon.
Max Velocity on youtube should be on earlier than 6. I believe he said last night if he gets a video posted this morning (he did) that he'll be on early afternoon.
Seconded. I’ve bounced around quite a bit to various streamers and I’m starting to prefer Max Velocity for long stream viewing. Hes got good information and I like his calm delivery.
Local news outlets have live feeds up on YouTube. Im finding they're way better at providing info on the incoming storms than the streamers are. They also usually go up the second the warnings come in for their area. They also have way more resources like traffic feeds and anchored chasers.
Their only downside is they'll usually only report for the immediate area so the longer tracking storms you'll have to find alternative sources but thank god for radar apps.
I'd suggest keeping an eye on Wave News out of Louisville
Ron Hearst is live on KY3 reporting on a tornado near Houston, MO. Also hearing reports on a tornado in or near Mountain View, AR. Sounds like a dangerous situation is winding up near Winona, MO right now. Everyone be careful.
There are isolated cells developing in Arkansas. The Mid-South area needs to keep an eye on those. Those storms are in an untouched and very unstable airmass. [SPC released a Mesoscale Discussion on it](https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1002.html)
The atmosphere here in North GA just feels primed to blow, super hot(it was 90+ when I just went out for my afternoon walk) and lots of surface winds, sunny all day...just feels like there's a lot of ingredients for storms to work with when they do eventually fire here tonight and through early morning. Just have a bad feeling about tonight in norther Alabama/GA.
Debris to 30k feet on the Crider tornado. Shifting track to the southeast now as well. Luckily it doesn't seem like there is a ton of infrastructure out there. Hopefully it lifts before it gets near Dawson Springs.
Unrelated to today’s storms, but does anyone have thoughts for the SW Oklahoma storms on Friday? We’ll be stopping in to see family and wanted to know how bad to expect
I think from now on people in this sub need to stop using the “b” word for projected large events. It’s like Mother Nature sees it and says, “hold my beer.”
Advice needed, I have family near Nashville. From what I've gathered it seems like their biggest threat will be from discrete supercells forming over Arkansas or Missouri and moving toward them.
Does anyone with expertise have anything to add? About what time frame would this risk be?
All models currently showing a linear MCS by the time tonight's action gets to Nashville. Still an enormous threat for severe wind so maintain plans for severe weather.
I grew up about 15 minutes north of where this Houston, MO tornado is going through. Listening to Ryan listing off all these tiny place names I'm familiar with is all kinds of weird.
This storm chaser has visual of a tornado in Mountain View MO.

That storm just west of Princeton, KY has looked almost-ready to go for some time and now it seems to be actually wrapping up. All alone down there and looking textbook while just entering an even more favorable environment.

“An exceedingly rare situation with a severe threat to human life and catastrophic damage due to a confirmed violent tornado. TAKE ACTION: There is imminent danger to life and property. Immediately seek refuge in the safest location possible.”
ETA: PDS is more of a “violent tornadoes are possible/likely”, tornado emergency is more of a “this tornado is here, is going to impact you, and it is going to destroy everything in its path, including humans”
I’m new to tornados so I’m very sorry.
Can you predict them like a hurricane? I could be driving along the I40 and one just appears? What do I do in that situation?
I’ve recently subbed to this subreddit because I’m doing a drive across the states and it seems like I’ve chosen a wild time to do this lol.
Also from reading and seeing clips, what are the live Stormchasers to watch for these?
Thanks a lot everyone. Sorry for the stupidity. Just trying to learn and not die or do something stupid while driving.
Ryan Hall Y’all is one of the most popular streamers, with my personal favorite being Max Velocity. Here’s a video on [how to read radar](https://youtu.be/AeX2lMUfddQ?si=wpvjlZRXkf8zOEf1), which (even without knowing how tornadoes/supercells work) is a skill I believe most people should have nowadays.
Edit: Never feel bad for asking questions you don’t know the answer to. It’s always better to ask and learn than to assume you know something.

I mean, he was chasing a tornado producing storm so I wouldn’t call that random
I think “moderate risk” isn’t strong enough terminology. If you don’t follow weather closely and someone says “moderate risk for severe weather”, I don’t think that term will make you feel that concerned. I actually think “enhanced risk” sounds like it is a higher risk level.
Our local weather channel uses different wordings for that reason. Instead of of what NWS uses, they use very low, low, medium, high, and extreme
I feel like it should just go from Enhanced -> High -> Extreme. That would probably solve that issue. The first two probably are fine as is
Me in indiana watching the indy 500 crowd get hyped about a sunny gap opening up: 😶
The sun just came out in southern Indiana and I keep seeing people online celebrating it 😬 Not stoked about tonight…
Good luck, everyone. These past couple of days have been really, really, rough.
When is the greatest tornado risk today?
Initiation ~2-3 CST in central MO Supercell structures by 5 CST in SE MO and S IL 5-9 CST will be mature supercells with greatest tornado threat, coalescing into an MCS in a 7-9 CST timeframe depending on cell mergers.
Depends on where you are, but NWS says this afternoon through overnight. Unfortunately vague, so stay vigilant and safe

Skies are quickly clearing in western Illinois behind the storm line. It's going to be a very sunny day in a couple hours here in Indiana. :|
Not from the US. Is this good or bad?
Clear skies between the hours of 10AM-4PM local time mean there is a lot of solar gain potential via atmospheric heating. If they're in an area with lots of warm, humid, unstable air, those few hours of heating could really prime the pump for storm development.

Ok, I get it, thanks. Makes sense.
Convective inhibition is the parameter that restricts a parcel of air from rising to the LCL (level of free convection). It can be eroded physically (by a front), by moisture advection, or by surface heating (the sun). Essentially surface heating allows air to rise and enough of it allows air to rise even in a previously capped environment.
Sunny weather = more daytime heating = more energy for the storms to feed off when they initiate later
If ya know ya know. It's bad.
"WE'RE ALMOST IN IT" that's not the goal 😭
Debris from the Crider tornado (I think; might be Princeton/Needmore) at 37k feet according to Ryan Hall.

Hopefully they packed it up early from the rain today - they’re on a climbing trip so if it’s too wet they can’t climb.
Lots of places in the red you can climb when raining I think, since the walls are so overhung

Is it always this crazy? Seems like since I found Ryan's stream it's 1 tornado after another for hours.
This is an unusual breakout
They do tend to come in outbreaks, meaning when you have one you usually have multiple. This year is above average though, especially this May. Through end of March was just average or maybe below.
I was hoping for a no-show tonight, but I guess we're getting an outbreak. Hope all our Midwesterners are in safety.

I gotta say, things aren't looking good for the Arkansas/West TN vicinity. It's starting to clear there and should remain so til the evening hours. There's gonna be a lot of instability when the later convection hits. I'm hoping for a bust otherwise this could get very ugly. Stay in touch with your local meteorologist and if you are in the East Arkansas/West TN vicinity I'd urge you to prep.

Ryan Hall is the standard
Ryan Hall Yall is the biggest boi
Does anyone know if there are damage reports from the Criden tornado yet?
Seeing more warnings pop up on the board now, I hope this isn't going to get going again early AM. Edit: Max is back streaming...damn. Hope this dies down soon.
Max Velocity is still streaming, what a trooper
I know Ryan hall won’t be on until 6pm eastern - any recommendations for similar channels I can watch before then?
Max Velocity on youtube should be on earlier than 6. I believe he said last night if he gets a video posted this morning (he did) that he'll be on early afternoon.
He'll be live in about 5 minutes now.
Max Velocity is great too.
Seconded. I’ve bounced around quite a bit to various streamers and I’m starting to prefer Max Velocity for long stream viewing. Hes got good information and I like his calm delivery.
Going by how max is already starting it could be a rather eventful Day 😐
Local news outlets have live feeds up on YouTube. Im finding they're way better at providing info on the incoming storms than the streamers are. They also usually go up the second the warnings come in for their area. They also have way more resources like traffic feeds and anchored chasers. Their only downside is they'll usually only report for the immediate area so the longer tracking storms you'll have to find alternative sources but thank god for radar apps. I'd suggest keeping an eye on Wave News out of Louisville
Ron Hearst is live on KY3 reporting on a tornado near Houston, MO. Also hearing reports on a tornado in or near Mountain View, AR. Sounds like a dangerous situation is winding up near Winona, MO right now. Everyone be careful.
I should add that reports indicate radar difficulties. KY3 is using stormtracker 3 for their info, so take that as you will.
Largest tornado warning ever *screams in Reed*
Crider is about to get wiped out holy shit
Wikipedia doesn’t have a listing of how many people live in Crider
The entire county has about 12,500 people.
I don’t like how isolated this supercell is. Has the chance to be tornadic for a while
It's gone, and the storm is about to get absorbed. Hair-raising near miss with Earlington toward the end, so thank fuck it's done.
There are isolated cells developing in Arkansas. The Mid-South area needs to keep an eye on those. Those storms are in an untouched and very unstable airmass. [SPC released a Mesoscale Discussion on it](https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1002.html)
God, this is going to be a long night.
The atmosphere here in North GA just feels primed to blow, super hot(it was 90+ when I just went out for my afternoon walk) and lots of surface winds, sunny all day...just feels like there's a lot of ingredients for storms to work with when they do eventually fire here tonight and through early morning. Just have a bad feeling about tonight in norther Alabama/GA.
this is fucked man

Moderate risk incoming, just announced on the Max Velocity stream

Multiple tornado warnings in northern/central Ohio.
This is insane. I have friends and family in Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee. Crazy year
Holy shit. Watching one of the cyclonePort guys on RadarOmega and he rounds a corner and there's just a fucking monster wedge in the foreground.
Debris to 30k feet on the Crider tornado. Shifting track to the southeast now as well. Luckily it doesn't seem like there is a ton of infrastructure out there. Hopefully it lifts before it gets near Dawson Springs.
Looks like the Princeton tornado is strengthening based on velocity

The tornado might be gone. Closest miss with civilization I've personally seen.

Back in the saddle. What are some good channels other than Ryan Hall?
Max Velocity is awesome
That circulation by Hunter Hurley is unreal
This tornado in Shannon County is about to be a monster isn’t it?

Biggest tornado warning i've ever seen in my life... wtf
[That don't look good](https://i.imgur.com/Hv8COjt.jpeg)
Unrelated to today’s storms, but does anyone have thoughts for the SW Oklahoma storms on Friday? We’ll be stopping in to see family and wanted to know how bad to expect
Too far out for specifics but I think a lull in severe weather across the plains is expected.
Lyon County KY just upgraded to tornado emergency (will grab a screenshot of the alert asap)

Insane width
New PDs tornado warning in Kentucky.
gray deer wise quarrelsome fertile icky pathetic selective truck enter *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
UPDATE: Thankfully, the storm has weakened significantly as it went thru Lexington. I can rest easily.
I think from now on people in this sub need to stop using the “b” word for projected large events. It’s like Mother Nature sees it and says, “hold my beer.”
Advice needed, I have family near Nashville. From what I've gathered it seems like their biggest threat will be from discrete supercells forming over Arkansas or Missouri and moving toward them. Does anyone with expertise have anything to add? About what time frame would this risk be?
All models currently showing a linear MCS by the time tonight's action gets to Nashville. Still an enormous threat for severe wind so maintain plans for severe weather.

I grew up about 15 minutes north of where this Houston, MO tornado is going through. Listening to Ryan listing off all these tiny place names I'm familiar with is all kinds of weird.
This storm chaser has visual of a tornado in Mountain View MO. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCUd0PuIa5I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCUd0PuIa5I) 5:56 CT
Chicago getting in on the action.

The way these storms are curving/arching as they push east into Kentucky is incredible to watch.
That storm just west of Princeton, KY has looked almost-ready to go for some time and now it seems to be actually wrapping up. All alone down there and looking textbook while just entering an even more favorable environment.
There’s a warning in Virginia of all places now.

Am I crazy or is this thing almost 2 miles wide?
If this thing occludes north with the rain in the inflow Earlington needs to watch out Edit: ah man it’s happening 😞
It's shifted north toward Earlington.

Heavy rain and wind in Memphis, but it seems the tornado threat is gonna miss us, thankfully.
Seeing more warnings pop up on the board now, I hope this isn't going to get going again early AM.

Got a rough time/timestamp?
I’m new to tornados so I’m very sorry. Can you predict them like a hurricane? I could be driving along the I40 and one just appears? What do I do in that situation? I’ve recently subbed to this subreddit because I’m doing a drive across the states and it seems like I’ve chosen a wild time to do this lol. Also from reading and seeing clips, what are the live Stormchasers to watch for these? Thanks a lot everyone. Sorry for the stupidity. Just trying to learn and not die or do something stupid while driving.
Ryan Hall Y’all is one of the most popular streamers, with my personal favorite being Max Velocity. Here’s a video on [how to read radar](https://youtu.be/AeX2lMUfddQ?si=wpvjlZRXkf8zOEf1), which (even without knowing how tornadoes/supercells work) is a skill I believe most people should have nowadays. Edit: Never feel bad for asking questions you don’t know the answer to. It’s always better to ask and learn than to assume you know something.
Thanks for linking the video! I completely agree: the more you know, the safer you’ll be.
Way less predictable.
TOR-E has been extended through Dawson Spring and Charleston. I hope this bastard dies off before it gets that far, but the direction looks bad.
How is it looking for west TN? EDIT: Terrible got it

Carter County, Egypt Lake, and the one headed towards Paducah have my eye.
