Turning to the tropics... A Reconnisance plane is going into an area of disturbed weather east of the Bahamas tomorrow. The flooding from it has killed over 200 people in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It's moving away from all land, but may still develop into something.

Nice swirl, but all the convection is removed from it.

Ugh! I bet you're exhausted. Sounds like a long night.

PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1153 AM CDT SAT MAY 29 2004

VALID 291653Z - 300100Z

...OUTBREAK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING A FEW
STRONG...LONG-TRACK TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
PLAINS TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT.

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STRONG...LONG-TRACK TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS LATER TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT.

THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

WESTERN IOWA
CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS
NORTHWEST MISSOURI
CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEBRASKA
OKLAHOMA

THERE IS ALSO A RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF THE
REMAINDER OF THE PLAINS FROM THE CANADIAN BORDER OF EASTERN ND AND
MN SWD THRU MUCH OF CENTRAL TX.

AN OUTBREAK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY OF
STRONG TORNADOES...VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS IS EXPECTED
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT OVER A LARGE PART OF THE CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN PLAINS AS A VIGOROUS STORM SYSTEM DEEPENS OVER THE
AREA.

AN INTENSIFYING SURFACE LOW IN THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS WILL MOVE
SLOWLY NE THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY...PRODUCING STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS
THAT WILL DRAW INCREASINGLY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR NORTH ACROSS THE
PLAINS. A VIGOROUS JET STREAM DISTURBANCE NOW MOVING EAST ACROSS
THE ROCKIES WILL STRENGTHEN WINDS IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.

WITH VERY STRONG SURFACE HEATING THIS AFTERNOON...VARIOUS SURFACE
FEATURES WILL BECOME THE FOCUS FOR RAPID SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT OVER PARTS OF NEBRASKA...IOWA...EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND
NORTHERN KANSAS. OTHER STORMS MAY FORM A LITTLE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SOUTHWARD THROUGH OKLAHOMA INTO PARTS OF
WESTERN AND NORTHERN TEXAS.

THE COMBINATION OF THE VERY UNSTABLE AIR AND INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE
WIND PROFILES WILL RESULT IN SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS. CONDITIONS
WILL SUPPORT STORMS THAT QUICKLY DEVELOP THE POTENTIAL FOR BOTH
TORNADOES AND VERY LARGE HAIL. A STRONG POSSIBLY FOR LONG TRACK
TORNADOES WILL EXIST IN THE HIGH RISK AREA.

THE SEVERE THREAT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE WELL AFTER DARK AND SPREAD
EAST ACROSS REMAINING PORTIONS OF IOWA...MISSOURI AND OKLAHOMA. IN
ADDITION...MORE ISOLATED BUT STILL POTENTIALLY TORNADIC SUPERCELLS
ARE POSSIBLE IN REGIONS ADJACENT TO THE HIGH RISK AREA FROM
SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA SOUTH TO THE BIG BEND REGION OF TEXAS.

THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THOSE IN THE
THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY RULES AND
TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR
POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.

..CORFIDI.. 05/29/2004

:eek2:

The instability is unreal. I'm expecting an F5 and several tornadoes that stay on the ground for hours. :eek:

Tomorrow, it shifts east. Could be some tornadoes as far south as North Alabama early on Monday(not where I'm at).

I don't doubt there will be an F5 today, if there's going to be an F5 this year, today is the day. The conditions are perfect for the development of large, long-track, destructive tornadoes. And I bet we'll see a few very strong twisters.

AREAS AFFECTED...EXTREME ERN TX PANHANDLE...WRN OK

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL
VALID 291933Z - 292130Z

MASS FIELDS ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE FOR STORM INITIATION
ALONG THE DRYLINE. A TORNADO WATCH WILL BE ISSUED SHORTLY.

LATEST VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS TCU BUILDING ALONG DRYLINE IN THE ERN
TX PANHANDLE INTO WRN OK. CONVERGENCE HAS NOT BEEN VERY FOCUSED
OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS DUE TO LEAD SHORTWAVE...BUT AREA PROFILERS
IN NM AND W TX INDICATE EFFECTS OF SUBTLE VORTICITY MAXIMA ARE BEING
FELT WITH WINDS AT MID LEVELS BEGINNING TO BACK A BIT.

ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO UNIFORM VEERING OF WINDS BEHIND TCU LINE AT THE
MOMENT...INDICATING SLIGHT DISORGANIZATION OF DRYLINE FORCING
MECHANISM...GIVEN EXTREME INSTABILITY IN PLACE...SEVERE STORM
DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY BE VERY QUICK ONCE DEEP CONVERGENCE BECOMES
SUFFICIENT. SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL DAMAGING WINDS AND
TORNADOES WILL BE LIKELY.

COMBINATION OF TEMPERATURE / DEWPOINT SPREADS 25-30 F AND STRONG SLY
SURFACE FLOW ALONG THE TX/ WRN OK BORDER MAY HOLD MOST SIGNIFICANT
TORNADO THREAT AT BAY INITIALLY...UNTIL STORMS GET INTO DEEPER MOIST
BOUNDARY LAYER INTO WRN OK LATE AFTERNOON / EARLY EVENING.

The Law Enforcement has just reported the first tornado of the day, it has touched down in Brady, Nebraska.

FRONT AND EAST OF THE COLD FRONT IS VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE.
MEANWHILE...SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS OF 50 TO 55 KNOTS EXTENDED
FROM SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL IL. THIS COMBINED
WITH 70-80 KT UPPER LEVEL WINDS FROM EXTREME WEST TEXAS INTO WEST
CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI CREATED STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR FOR A VERY
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR TORNADIC STORMS.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALREADY DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHWEST
MISSOURI INTO EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES EASTWARD TODAY EXTENDING FROM EASTERN IOWA
SOUTHWEST INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA TONIGHT. LINE OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS...WITH SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE

Same here. And look how large the watches are. Jackie is almost included in the newest PDS Tornado Watch.

114 Tornadoes in the past 24 hours. Amazing. I havent seen the numbers go that high since 1999!

This is "The Super Outbreak" of 2004.

They have just made the "High Risk" area much larger and upgraded the "25%" area for tornadoes to "35%" this is going to be just about as bad as you will ever see.

This is incredible. Just amazng. There have been confirmed fatalities with a Tornado that has just touched down in Indiana. :(

Wow...

This is INCREDIBLE. In KY there is atleast 10 Supercells that could be producing tornadoes at the same time.

We likely won't see something like this again for many years.

Last nights tornado in MO, killed 3. They showed some footage of the damage, wiped a house clean off of its foundation. Nothing was left of it.

New Tornado watch for Ohio.

:eek2:

This is sickening.

I've never seen a 35% tornado potential, and the fact that it extends from Chicago to Central Arkansas is just unreal.

I agree with Brent, this is unreal. Absolutely unreal. In the past 24 hours 126 tornadoes touched down. 126!!!!! That is almost scary.

How many touchdowned during the Super Outbreak? 150 something right? We're going to top it before 8pm at this rate. :eek:

126! already This outbreak is one for the history books.

:eek:

I bet we will top it.

We are witnessing the largest outbreak in many years. We may not see this again for a decade.

Oh, I'm in the 25% Severe probability tomorrow, could be some supercells here. :eek:

I just missed out on this. I'm pretty glad I did. Although If I was given the chance to go out and chase some of these storms, I sure would have.

I just realized something, all the tornado reports from earlier havent even gotten in yet, we may have passed 130 tornadoes in 24 hours! :eek:

This could be even closer to beating the Super Outbreak in 74 than we think.

Greg Forbes just said on TWC "It's about as bad as it can get".

I've never tracked an outbreak as big as this. None even close.

This truely is as bad as it gets.

Widespread Tornadoes. Some long-tracked and large, very destructive.

Hail over the size of baseballs in some places.

Tonight there will likely be a long lived derecho, producing extreme winds about as strong as they get.

Storms are Training, and will produce alot of flooding.

Can't get much worse than this.

I see Carbondale there. My dad was thinking of taking a job there.

Amazing amounts of severe weather. According to preliminary data, over 1000 reports of severe weather have been recieved on May 29-30.

Tornado Reports: 177
Hail Reports: 350
Wind Reports (In Excess of 58 mph or Damage): 556


Total Reports: 1083

Day 1 reports...

Day 2 reports, many reports of wind damage from the large squall line.

A Tornado just touched down about 30 minutes from me at 415PM, and caused some damage, according to local law enforcement...

From the Local Storm Report...

SUSPECTED TORNADO. NUMEROUS WITNESSES REPORTED TORNADO TOUCHDOWN. DAMAGE TO ROOF OF SHOPPING PLAZA. 2 BLOCKS OF DAMAGE, 20 CARS DAMAGED, TRAILER OVERTURNED, FLAGPOLE KNOCKED DOWN.

All the activity the super outbreak of May 29-30th had makes today's marginal severe seem so boring. :lol:

In the past 10 days there have been over 400 tornadoes.

Preliminary Reports show 552 reports of tornadoes in May, that number will likely drop, but if it holds, this will turn out to be the most tornadoes recorded in any month ever.

Preliminary Reports show 552 reports of tornadoes in May, that number will likely drop, but if it holds, this will turn out to be the most tornadoes recorded in any month ever. Also, the number of severe weather reports in the US last month is amazing, 5,620 reports!

There was also a record amount of tornadoes in Michigan, with 14 this May. It broke the record set way back in May of 1956.

Along with that, the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac in White Lake, Michigan, issued a record amount of warnings for May, 82.

This was also the wettest May on record in Detroit, 8.46" of rain fell. Only a little over a quarter of an inch shy of breaking the all time record for any month, which was 8.76", set in July of 1878!

The Final Preliminary Tornado Reports for May 29th-30th are 92 and 88 respectively, with a total of 180.
