Be sure and cover your hard hats with tin foil...

Seriously, you are thinking the right way so once you have your plan, relax and keep a clear head. It is always a good idea to have plenty of water drawn just encase lightning strikes a power source.

Everything will be ok.

Fort Worth area here, and everything is peachy........

Anyone experiencing this so called deluge yet?

a reply to: Havox

wow look at the hook echo on that super cell classic tornado signature

a reply to: TechniXcality

Stay safe!

a reply to: TechniXcality

Thank you very much for that. I love the detail and specific features it shows on that radar. I also passed this on to a dispatch/safety center in the area I know someone in, who I know will find it equally useful.

a reply to: Havox

Will do if you all want or have any concern just give me your general area and ill interpret the radar and get warnings out as they occur

SPC has issued a HIGH RISK for Southern Arkansas!

a reply to: Havox

yes sir and that is exactly where I am heading now just north of little rock I expect to see, explosive super cell development however I believe the severe risk is higher yet for areas north regardless of the text products of NWS considering storm motion

a reply to: Havox

look at this frame latest nam hi res sim reflectivity 6 hrs mag.ncep.noaa.gov... aram=sim_reflectivity&fhr=006&group=Model+Guidance&imageSize=&ps=area&preselected_formatted_cycle_date=20140427+18+UTC&scrollx=0&scrolly=0

now the frame before shows the current activity exiting southern MO and moving off northeast. now click a few frames or time periods ahead and you can see people north of the high risk are absolutely at risk. Furthermore the low level jet will increase tonight furthering the potential for severe thunderstorms. be safe Ill keep updating im jamming right now heres what im listening to lol
