YTD Tornado warnings issued by forecast office: 2022 vs. 2023

The official reports won't be tabulated for a few more months, but I can't imagine a Minnesota spring with fewer severe weather reports. Since May 1st, the north metro has been especially dry, with only about an inch of precip since then. The south metro has been somewhat better with 2-4"...

Looks like a really large tornado touched down in southern Georgia.

Hilarious video on state flags, and how Minnesota fails all of the benchmarks.

In my lifetime 1998 was memorable. You had the Comfrey - St. Peter tornadoes in March. Then there was a largely forgotten about billion-dollar sever weather event in Mid-May: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_15,_1998,_Minnesota_storms Followed a couple weeks later by one of the largest...

Here are a few.... 1. Probably the most comprehensive is this link from the U of M. It takes some works to get the data you may be looking for, but it contains the full reports (high/low/rain/snow/depth) going back to the beginning for dozens of official climate sites in Minnesota...

Insane supercell action tonight in Oklahoma.

Mississippi is really going to start rising this week.

Will not help the Red River situation, that is for sure. They were already expecting moderate - major flooding. But on the positive side, QPF is only expected to be around 1.3 inches, which is not a ton for 18 inches of April snow (14:1 ratio). In our storm on Thursday-Friday in the Twin...

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Comfrey - St. Peter tornadoes. Something I didn't see until recently was this longer video of the F4 tornado as it passed near Hanska. Something that just floored me was this apparent vortex that appears to be a couple hundred yards wide, embedded within...

Miami was +15 over the last several minutes while being out of timeouts. See coaches, you can trust your players sometimes.

Euro wanting to wrap up a huge storm over the eastern US in about a week.

This makes me feel old.

The issue with the storm from the beginning has been the lack of oomph in the precip. There are certainly some strong dynamics seeing how windy it's been, the storm itself is expansive, it is really long duration, and the snow coverage has at times stretched for hundreds of miles. All of this...

The amazing thing about this forecast so far, is both the GFS And the Euro have been consistent now for 48+ hours, on about a 150-mile wide band of at least 12" (and up to 24"-30") of snow in central/southern MN. Every run today looks almost identical in terms of the 12+ amounts. I can't...

Let's just get this out there now that the "tournament snowstorm" legend is complete B.S. I already saw a Tweet about this regarding next week's potential storm. This article explains it well, how it started as the "basketball" snowstorm (which used to only be boys, and there was some merit)...
