Check it out this weekwnd for my parents near the TX/LA border. Signals for bad tornadoes there. 
https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=ICT&issuedby=ICT&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1

Saturday has the potential to bring significant severe weather
to the area. Of course there is plenty of time for the forecast
to change and there does remain some degree of uncertainty
particularly in storm mode. A sfc low in the vicinity of SW KS
is progged to deepen and move east/northeast potentially around
central/south central KS by peak heating. Moderate to strong
instability (2500-4000 J/kg) will combine with strong flow
(60kts+ bulks shear), nicely curved hodographs/strong LL SRH,
and strong 3CAPE (200j/kg). Any storm that can remain discrete
or even semi-discrete in this type of environment will pose
significant hazards from strong to potentially violent
tornadoes, large to very large (2-3+ inch) hail, and damaging
wind gusts.

APRIL 27th.

It’s been a very very quiet severe season - instability with high clouds every time CAPE gets a chance to happen. We’ll see.

It’s still snowing near Yellowstone.

University of Pennsylvania predicts 33 named storms this year. That's quite bold

It is a decent area to chase in

Oh absolutely. And it's not Dixie Alley so you don't have mountains and rain-wrapped shit so you'll get some very photogenic twisters.

This could be a lot of farm life's 9/11.

I thought maybe this was a joke or you meant Penn State. But I looked it up and found free Washington Post article all about the Penn team.

"The new forecast, issued Wednesday, calls for a range of 27 to 39 named storms, with a best guess of 33. The most on record was 30 named storms in 2020." 

North Atlantic ocean temps have hit highs for the past 419 days. This is shown in great chart in article using top solid black line for 2024 and orange line below that for 2023. It is impossible for me not to think I and others here am going to get something we won't like out of the predicted very high land and ocean heat this summer. Not nearly as bad as Sandy when I lived (second floor thank God) a brief walk from Hudson River & NYC Harbor in downtown Jersey City but something. I didn't expect to feel that way when I moved back to Williamsport in 2015.

Sandy wasn't bad out here at all. Anything that is going to be bad wind wise is going to have to be a cat 4 hurricane flying through the Carolinas or into the tidewater at 40 to 50 mph. Would really haven't had that happen since hurricane Carol back in the 1950s
