A cold front is pushing through the Midwest, Mississippi Valley and southern Plains. Sporadic strong wind gusts will accompany the squall line. @matthewcappucci.bsky.social has a Tuesday update. myradar.com/videos/6529

A few strong to severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon Aros Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa. Damaging gusts, large hail and a few tornadoes are expected. @matthewcappucci.bsky.social has a quick update. myradar.com/videos/6521

The moon is so pretty tonight.

The strongest supercells could produce softball-sized hail and some significant tornadoes, and perhaps an intense tornado or two.

We're expecting rotating supercells to form in/near the risk areas around 4 p.m. Central time Saturday afternoon. They'll quickly become severe, with large, destructive hail and likely a few tornadoes.

The zone they're most carefully watching includes Ada, Atoka, Sulphur, Tishomingo, Madill, Colbert, Durant, Hugo, Antlers and Paris, Texas.

The Storm Prediction Center has UPGRADED the tornado risk in portions of south central and southeast Oklahoma, now indicating that tornadoes could attain EF3 strength.

#weatherpicofday OTD 6 years ago, Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020, @JustonStrmRider and I documented a massive, rain-wrapped, megawedge tornado near Heidelberg, Mississippi. It was the widest twister in Mississippi recorded history (2.25 miles) with a 68-mile path. #MSwx

Guam has been part of the United States since 1898 – longer than Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska or Hawaii were states.

Sinlaku is likely to impact Guam, with a forecast track near Tinian. Tinian is part of the United States and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, an unincorporated U.S. territory comprising 14 islands.

Every year, only 0.05% of Earth's surface experiences the unbridled madness of a Category 5 hurricane eyewall.

– Divergence, or the spreading of air aloft. The more "exhaust" air we fan away at the upper levels, the more war, humid air can be ingested from below. That means more fuel added to the fire.

– Moist air. Any dry air entrained into the circulation can erode it from within, spelling its demise. That hasn't been an issue with Sinlaku.

– Weak wind shear. Shear, or disruptive changing winds with height, can knock a hurricane off-kilter. To get a high-end hurricane, there can't be any shear. The environment, ironically, must be antecedently calm.

- Extremely warm waters. Water temperatures are between 86 and 90 degrees. That represents absurd amounts of "ocean heat content," or high-octane fuel, to sustain a hurricane.

Tragically, that perfection can be deadly if such high-end storms impact land. To get a hurricane like Sinlaku to occur, you need four ingredients to exist in perfect harmony:

Sinlaku is absolutely perfect — in the worst possible way. Achieving a storm of this magnitude using only air, water and heat requires absolute meteorological perfection.

The marauding monstrosity is northwest of the Federated States of Micronesia. Based on satellite imagery, it's easily Category 5 strength. It's tall, cold and sinister. (In fact, cloud tops are colder than Melissa's were. The Pacific produces incredibly tall, deep convection.)

The strongest storm on the planet since Melissa – an absolute atmospheric buzzsaw – Super Typhoon Sinlaku continues to churn through the tropical northwest Pacific. It's likely to impact the United States.

Today, your best shot at seeing a hen-egg-sized chunk of ice fall from the sky in the U.S. is between Abilene and San Antonio, Texas.

The mostly likely place to see a tornado in the USA tomorrow will be somewhere between Minneapolis, MN and Madison, WI...

The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. (Romans 8:7)

A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday across Texas and the Plains. Most storms will be messy, with primarily gusty winds and quarter-sized hail. A greater severe weather risk arrives Sunday. @matthewcappucci.bsky.social has an update. myradar.com/videos/6454

Weather models also struggle to handle these sorts of events. We won't be able to sniff out "mesoscale" details (tiny smaller-scale forcing mechanisms) until the night before. Stay tuned!

90% of the area won't see much. 10% of the area could see significant impacts. These "conditional" all-or-nothing risks are difficult to communicate. Legitimately, it will be mostly sunny with a slight chance of tornadoes.

Any isolated supercells would be able to take advantage of a higher-end environment and produce significant severe weather, including baseball hail, tornadoes and damaging gusts.

A cap, or lid of hot, dry air a mile above the ground, will work to suppress thunderstorm development by preventing surface air to rise. In MOST spots, this will win out. However, it's possible (especially Sunday/Monday) that smaller-scale features help to kick up isolated supercells.

But across the central/southern Plains, we have an impressive "parameter space" but not much "forcing." In other words, we have the storm fuel (instability) AND we have the spin (shear). But will storms form?

Confidence is greatest in some storms Monday/Tuesday across the Corn Belt and Upper Midwest. These will accompany a lifting warm front. A couple tornadoes are possible, along with hail and maybe a few wind gusts.
