Disc Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 How many threads are there going to be? There is already 2 1/2. One in C/W, one in Wx, and GLOV counts as half, since this system will be affecting us. I am all for separating the content, but there comes a point where you lose the discussion because no one knows where to post. I just figured this thread was more for the system as a whole covering multiple days, not just Saturday. But I'm sure you know that once there's tornado producing storms, a single thread is going to be bombarded with all of the real-time info. So I figured a separate thread just for Saturday may do us well instead of one cluttered thread that covers multiple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornadotony Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just when it couldn't get any worse, it looks like this run of the NAM has even bigger hodos and a good bit of discrete-looking convection after dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thread with radar/obs is going to be directly related to the mesoscale aspects of the forecast, so separating those makes little sense to me. This thread could remain for discussion of the Sunday threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonbo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It would make sense tomorrow afternoon to do a 'Nowcasting' thread in wx or central/western to consolidate all the reports/opinions as things progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srain Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 We already have a Sunday thread in the Lakes subforum. I say keep everything Saturday here and everything Sunday there. That makes no sense. The threat will likely to extend in Sunday and even Monday in some form or fashion within this sub forum. I think we are all smart enough to know where we want to post and which region has the potential. This all could have been settled yesterday, but I digress...

AtticaFanatica Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Maybe we should have a separate thread to discuss how many separate threads to have for the actual event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Saturday might feature two waves; morning s/w and evening s/w. Such an outcome is actually more severe. Little subsidence behind first allows sun to heat during the delay Snowgoose notes. Remaining outflow boundaries OFB would intensify round 2. Like the High Risk Friday going into weekend so decision makers are aware. The extremely late initiation with such a dynamic setup at 500mb to the west and the fact its only mid-April surprises me a bit...even with the surface low being way up in NE I'm not so sure we won't see development closer to 4 or 5pm in KS/OK on Saturday even though the models currently say no. Regarding today, Friday, like the SPC hatched. OFB draped back through central OK from MO convection. Next wave coming out should initiate later.

Indystorm Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Maybe we should have a separate thread to discuss how many separate threads to have for the actual event. LOL! This is the board equivalent of chaser convergence for a major event. I say we post whatever we want (radar, observations, model discussions, etc.) in the geographical sub forum where the event/discussion pertains and is relevant if we are not going to have one mega thread on the main page for the event.

nwohweather Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have no problem with this being the main thread. Like David said we need to keep it organized for those in the field and with this being a Day 2 High Risk, this is the most serious thing we've seen in a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 12z GFS is rolling in with one of the stronger runs (w.r.t. the mass fields) it has simulated yet for Sat. Interesting to look at soundings when available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Please tell me this is a joke. High risk is already rare enough that I can't see the value in creating a new categorical risk. I'm also not sure where he is getting that information from, unless it is in NWSChat. It certainly isn't in the 12Planet interoffice chats.

LocoAko Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Didn't even think that was possible. He seems like a credible source, though. Why does he seem credible? We'll see, though I highly doubt that's valid or correct. Hopefully I don't have to eat some crow. I tweeted back at him asking what exactly he meant.

I tweeted back at him asking what exactly he meant. Not sure. I figured maybe since he's at the Univ. of Oklahoma and from KFOR maybe he's hearing stuff we haven't yet. I can't see them going beyond a high risk, though. Just doesn't seem accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess he has no clue what he is talking about...I can't see SPC making up a new risk area on the spot...as you say High Risk that's very strongly worded is good enough.

IMADreamer Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I don't understand the need to go beyond high risk. I think everyone knows what high risk is and specifically for a product that is generally not used by the public I just don't see the need.
