WARM AND MOIST AIR WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION WITH INSTABILITY INCREASING THIS AFTN. HIGH RES MODELS/SREF INDICATE A SHORTWAVE AHEAD OF THE FRONT MOVING INTO THE AREA THIS AFTN. THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE TRIGGER FOR TSTMS TO DEVELOP. LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW THE GREATEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND ROTATIONAL POTENTIAL ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO/TENNESSEE VALLEYS...HOWEVER THINK ENOUGH POTENTIAL EXISTS OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY FOR SOME OF THE STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE LATE THIS AFTN INTO TONIGHT AS THE FRONT MAKES ITS APPROACH. ANOTHER CONCERN IS HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THE FRONT BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE THIS EVENING...MAKING THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING OF PRECIP LESS LIKELY. THUS...WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. WILL HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STORMS PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

north pgh Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Boy what a bust of severe weather. Strong storms now forming in a line northeast of here after our gusty light shower passage.

blackngoldrules Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 That was a short lived tornado watch. Looks like they already cancelled it. Severe threat is still there until the front moves through, although with it moving through early in the morning that might diminish the chance with no heating of the day to add to the formula. The showers that just moved through might stabilize things for a while as well. Just cloudy and cooler out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know the risks involved when it comes to mother nature, but it doesn't stop us from being fascinated with it either. It's like in the winter time when we're all hoping to get a big snowstorm, then when it happens, roofs collapse, property can be damaged, and you hear about some 20 car pileup on the highway that took someone's life. You never ever want anyone to be harmed in anyway and yet we still come on here enthusiastically tracking storms because that the weather enthusiast in us. It can be exciting, but also at times dangerous unfortunately. Remember when Rants was coming on here with his roof collapse story (who knows if that even happened) trying to make us all feel guilty for enjoying that storm? I told him in one post that none of us are God. We didn't create that snowstorm from our enthusiasm. We're just fascinated when it occurs. Anyway, my prayers go out to those people in the south. This is the ugly part of our hobby unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long term impacts of those are usually limited...I mean, how many people died from Feb 5-6 from things that were out of their control? Most of the time, it was caused by people driving when they should not, or killing themselves somehow with CO2...despite all the worries about collapses, there were very few from what I remember.

Lol...you'll get that....snowstorms, while disruptive, are relatively harmless unless you are an idiot. All one has to do is look at New Orleans to see why we shouldn't "root" for these sorts of things. I mean, I was looking at people in teh Southeast thread yesterday morning hoping for tornadic conditions. sure, I find it interesting, and awe inspiring, but my goodness, I don't want it to happen, and I certainly don't want it to happen in the SE where it is bound to hit something. At least in the midwest there is a good chance it touches nothing other than a corn field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do like however is a good old fashion thunderstorm at night. One where you get a nice steady rain and lightning and thunder. That's what I thought we were going to have last night. That's exactly how I feel. Nobody in their right mind wants damage or life risk, but their is nothing wrong with enjoying, like you put it, "a good old fashioned thunderstorm". And when I brought up snowstorms earlier, I wasn't trying to compare them to severe weather, just that we have no control over either one and there's nothing wrong with being fascinated with both. I actually don't "root" for anything. If we have a chance of a snowstorm in the winter or thunderstorms in the spring, I look forward to tracking them and talking about them on here with other weather enthusiasts like myself. I just take whatever we get as it comes and discuss it on here, that's all. And if people were actually in those threads hoping for tornadoes then they're nuts. I don't understand why someone would actually want that. Tornadoes are fascinating (sorry if I use fascinating too much lol) to talk about, but noone should actually hope for one to occur.
