My wife gets home late, Ryan Hall on YouTube, 'gorilla hail' (I think Reed Timmer invented the term) and major tornadoes. Bad thing about the stronger tornadoes, they'll be near Chicago and Kenosha and the suburbs. My first night out of boot camp, we went to Kenosha and drank way too much, I was 18 which was legal in Wisconsin in 1982. I have a feeling bad things happened on Friday and Saturday nights when Illinois youth drove N to legally drink. Drunk inexperienced drivers are far worse than just inexperienced drivers. Drunk drivers of any experience level is dangerous, of course.

Illinois and Michigan seems to be a repeating magnet as the early spring tornado alley for 2026.

Looks like better agreement today with a strong - NAO greenland blocking signature setting up shop, and perhaps retrograding into central canada, that has my concern because that massive block could slow down and potentially cause a storm system to get stuck across texas, will be watching the flooding threat in the coming period ahead

Today is obviously much more serious than the previous two days now that we have adequate forcing. I do wonder if storm mode today will end up being messy but if anything can remain discrete it could be a strong tornado producer. CIG2 hail area is now expanded into central OK as well. Could be an interesting day.

Cool weekend ahead (actual below normal and not just "not as hot",) looking forward to it.

The clouds are very thick and it's kind of cool outside here walking the UNT Campus for lunch. I'm not expecting much of anything and I think the HRRR confirms that today.

Little bit concerned about the track pattern as it seems to be west and well north. This is something we see towards summer not the middle of April
