Red box coming out now until 8:00 pm Central. SPC is slow so it might take some time to post here.

Yea the warm front has legs. Not some weak animal hung up on the Red River.

Folks, please use this thread for today:

Per OK mesonet, it appears the warm front is now north of I-40.

Probably going to see more tornado warnings than SVRs today, especially in the High Risk area.

New Flood Watch from OUN really ups the wording:

I'll never have enough money to storm chase, but I'd run out there in a heartbeat on a day like today. @Ian (Twitter: @ islivingston), @Ellinwood (Twitter: @ ellinwoosh) and @wxmeddler (Twitter: @ wxmeddler) are all chasing out there today.

Yea looking incredible now. Incredibly jealous I'm not out there.

OMG what a Class 1 kook. Wow.

Looks like the first PDS red box is being drawn up ATTM.

Friendly reminder that all red boxes in a High Risk are automatically PDS.

$20 says the 1630z update has a hatched 45% tor.

Simple coincidence, nothing more.

Lol, this is a thing in OK?

This is the danger of going high risk before the midday update on day 1. Really worried this busts now because everyone is expecting a big day and you'll look like a fool if this doesnt pan out. Ironically this flooding threat in Oklahoma is just as big but it's getting almost no coverage.

Focusing on individual placement of cells on meso models will drive you crazy.

Big mts. out there aiding updrafts. Looks like a US15 and points west kind of day. Metro areas probably stay dry.

Could be a sneaky severe day today. Good CAPE and some shear.

The Frederick cell is about to transverse it's own outflow boundary and the bay breeze pushing west. Wonder if that jazzes it back up.

They do that? Where did you read that?

37­ degrees in Garrett County at 1:40 pm this afternoon. Feels more like early March...hope we epically torch this summer and get a legit tropical event(s).

No problem. Our tomatoes are going in this weekend. When I have the aforementioned setup in place, I'll post a follow up picture. One last tidbit. If you want to use liquid fertilizer, that's great and should be used right after the fruit forms. You really only need to feed the plants once a season. I strongly recommend against the tradition Miracle-Gro "blue" powdered fertilizer. It's so nitrogen heavy that you will only get an abundance of leaves. Try instead the Miracle-Gro Tomato Plant Food, it's an 18-18-21 mix with a decent amount of trace elements (copper, zinc, iron, maganese) that staves off blossom end rot, etc. if things get wet again. I love gardening and should have started the lawn & garden thread for the subforum this year.
