  1. I don't think I recall seeing "has issued a tornado emergency" in the original warning text before today.
  2. This is the nightmare scenario among NWS/emergency managers and is probably how we will get our next large casualty tornado (say 30+ fatalities). Well, either that or a violent tornado tracking through the heart of a major city.
  3. It's fun to try to compare outbreaks but it's difficult, especially when they are in different eras. What would be the modern equivalent to the Super Outbreak... 180 tornadoes, 100 deaths, 20 EF4/EF5? Sort of like trying to compare different eras in baseball.
  4. Chasers must hate days like tomorrow. Probably 90% of the target area is not particularly favorable for chasing.
  5. The surface low was gradually filling in that case. This time we will have a deepening surface low. As others have said, there are some similarities on the larger scale and the threat area is quite similar to 1974. Other than that, I'd be really hesitant to say that this will be as bad as that...you'd be wrong at least 999 times out of 1000. It's sorta one of those things that you just have to let play out.
  6. 12z NAM goes nuts with the surface low tomorrow. 984 mb basically right over me and then around 980 mb in western lower Michigan.
  7. I like the speed shear tomorrow but the directional shear isn't that good in the area. Not sure how great the tornado threat will be but overall severe parameters look decent for whatever is around.
  8. Models slowing down the front a tad around here. Upcoming day 2 slight risk may have to be pulled a little west.
  9. This. They usually only outline the highest probability areas on days 4-8. Doesn't mean there won't be anything farther north.
