Apr. 17-18th Severe Weather Possibility

Don't worry if this stuff dont verify you have May and June and then last days of this month. I dont know about this system could be a sleeper though could be another system to get hyped up about then have it bust you never know now a days. Or this coul end up being a 2% tornado, 15% hail, 15% wind outlook than banging.

This will only be a see text or slight risk event across the Plains. By the time it heads toward Chicago the storms will begin to weake. Thus all that will be left is some rain, with isolated thunderstorms.

Looking like a very wet rain-maker for Iowa, MO, KS, IL and WI. 500mb energy this run (00z GFS) looks furthur NW and stronger causing for a more northwesterly and stronger deformation band of rain back in Kansas, Iowa and Wisconsin. Looks lke 1-2 inches is possible from Kansas City to Des Moine, Cedar Rapids, Chicago, Madison and into MKE as this storm slowly lifts off to the NE. One of the components for a slower and stronger solution as this moves into MO and IL it looks to turn more neg tilted this run givven increase amount of moisture across these areas.

Any severe weather from this system will likely occur over southern stated including: Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. This looks to be only a sligth risk event for those states mentioned.

Yeah nothing severe for Chicago. 12z GFS still showing a least a inch of rain out of this, more out west.

Yea, also another thing to note is the system is moving a bit slower. The 00z models bring it just a tad more NW, but overall not an impressive storm.

If there is one thing I have learned about this year it is this...... The way these dumb models have been and the way our supposed "experts" in the field have been, this could turn into a big outbreak lol.....

Kansas City has a Severe Thunderstorm Warning nearby. Too bad i'm not there

Alright, storms are developing in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. Some are already severe, while other ones will turn severe. I will be posting frequently on here to keep things updated.

ok well the storms in the KC area look to bypass IL
it looks that they are moving NNE and not NE

6:30PM update: So far there are 17 reports of hail. Most reports have come out of Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The first tornado warnings have been issued in Texas.
