Oh look...the enhanced risk is performing better than the high risk...

Hmmmm...

Sometimes I can't help but wonder if Mother Nature likes to troll weather forecasters from time to time...

Looks like it may have gone directly over Air Zoo, which has one of the 15 remaining SR-71s that are on public display.

Thought maybe the cell mergers might break up the southern storm a little but it is eating those little things alive

Hmmmm...

Well I am sure that you know that many Enhanced Risk's have overperformed. Last night was certainly warranting of a Moderate Risk or High Risk. The High Risk wasn't a horrible call either. A person killed last night by an EF4 tornado in Barnsdall, OK.

Not sure why there's a TORE with that storm, the velocity signature in front is sidelobe contamination.

Looks like it's about to lift but the next tornado it'll drop is gonna be probably even stronger. Good lord.
