Yes

Thats pretty much stuff, isn´t it. What´s the "normal" measures for a nice springday ?

Yes

Thats pretty much stuff, isn´t it. What´s the "normal" measures for a nice springday ?

Say what?

Well normal would be <1000 in the spring there's no such thing as normal here

To give you an idea though 1500 to 2000 is sufficient for widespread supercell development. Latest reading from OUN is 2230 CAPE still very high.

[Bunkertor]

I thought so, too. I once read something about 1000. As to this event, i´d say " holy moses "... and i must be 3 p.m. in KS... still early in the day...

SCHRECK

[MississippiHurricane]

VERY STRONG tornado signature with 100kts of shear headed toward MedicineLodge KS. KSN said worst signature since Friday Night

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

So appears to be getting a little more active?

Also this new "system" is the worst since friday night.

[MississippiHurricane]

Arrival at Medicine Lodge is at 4:48 CDT. This is the storm that prompted a Tornado Waring in OK

[simplykristi]

Another flash flood warning for my county. We've had two inches of rain since 8 AM and expecting another one to two inches of rain.

The Us looks like pea soup:

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

The late March outbreak had 45 tornado confirmed. But the early March one had more powerful tornado's, with 3 EF4's. Which is a pretty powerful outbreak. I don't know if this one beat it or not yet.

Even if it did the EF5 I personally would say is a billion dollar twister.

New Tornado Watch until 3 AM for Central and Eastern Oklahoma, SE Kansas, and Western Missouri. Looks like it is going to be a long night for me.

[simplykristi]

Lee's Summit MO just experienced a hailstorm a little bit ago. There was quarter to golf ball sized hail.

Hello to all... I am new to the forum.

Currently watching southern Oklahoma; high low-level windshear with CAPES of 4500 JK/G according to the 2Z/9PM CDT RUC Guidance. If any storms develop and track over this region, it is possible that they could rapidly intensify.
