Lapse rates. That's it.One of the more perplexing events I've seen in awhile.
I've heard a number of theories posited, but none of them seem that convincing just yet. Potentially an amalgamation of more than one issue, as can be the case, but certainly not at all what I expected from today.
Barnsdall showed the potential out there, and I guess we always knew storm initiation to the south was a bit of a question mark, but now that we've got initiation it's just perplexing to have these results in this environment.
Shows how incredibly difficult forecasting it. I think a lot of people were ruined by the early 2010s outbreaks. This kind of frustration really reminds me of the pre-2011 types of events that seemed can't miss, and, then, missed for whatever reason.
If you keep this up, I doubt you'll be on this forum for another hour. Save your thoughts for when the event is over.There’s been 15 tornado reports today, it’s ok to call something what it is.

They are experiencing some extreme winds.That's quite the notch.

Yeah, not that this cell will do the same thing, but the Barnsdall storm went from looking "meh" to monstrous in just a scan or two.
Cut it out, you've been called out by other members and a moderator. There's still storms with a tornado warning within the high risk area, so it's not over yet.There’s been 15 tornado reports today, it’s ok to call something what it is.
I agree, but you gotta be a pretty sad human being to troll a weather forum.I wouldn't even bother replying to him at this point, he's got to be trolling.
Looks nothing like a bow echo.The only storm with even a severe thunderstorm warning is more of a bow echo than a supercell.

That's enough back and forth. Muddling up the thread with counter arguments just degrades the quality of the discussion. No bust posts during an active event, folks are touchy about it. No harassing somebody for a vaguely displaced bust post. If a rule is broken report it and move alongIf you keep this up, I doubt you'll be on this forum for another hour. Save your thoughts for when the event is over.
Cool, thanks for your input. Done with this conversation. Have a nice night.Some of us are just willing to call an event what it is. PHDs from ousom were doing it hours ago.
Dude let it go. If you have thoughts that people disagree and you aren’t willing to learn more about meteorology, then just chill. If the High risk verified or not, it’s still an extremely active severe weather period.On bad storm doesn’t verify a high risk.
