Not to be a deb, but this doesn't look as impressive on the severe side as it did a few days ago. Definitely a chance for multiple rounds of thunderstorms today, but the overall spatial coverage and helicity seem to have backed off.
June 13, 2013 comes to mind. Granted that was a Day 2 MOD, but the morning convection blew through and dropped a surface boundary that fire up the Leesburg to Rockville to College Park tornado.
AI will not remove the forecasters. I can't even get a Comcast AI bot to schedule a service appointment, there's no way an AI person will replace a forecaster at a WFO when I need help.
Looks like elevated convection at best.
Yup. We at least need the rain. Would be surprised if we actually get into the mid 90s like previously forecast.
Latest SPC mesoanalysis has a casual 60 kt jet and supercell composite of 20, and mixing level CAPE of 1,500 - 2,500 in northeast Missouri. Something is going to fire up.
