@cycloneye - even though you seem to be the only person regularly posting in this thread, I appreciate all these updates. I’m sure others do too.

Late April thru early May looks like is going to be very active with severe weather.

@webberweather
These analogs hint at a fairly classic late April into early May this year with potential for above average tornado activity over climatologically favored areas of the Great Plains, including in/around Oklahoma.

The mean anomaly is plotted on the left & the mean of the analogs is on the right.

Here is Eric Webb's message.

@webberweather
The CFS & ECMWF are in surprisingly good agreement at this range that the MJO may begin to enter the Indian Ocean in mid-late May.

If this continued propagating eastward, that would be a favorable #S2S indicator for tornado activity over the CONUS in late May/early June.

My confidence isn't terribly high in this outcome just yet, however when the CFS & ECMWF agree on MJO propagation even this far out, it's usually correct.

I'm curious what this forecast will look like after this upcoming bout of severe weather over the Great Plains late April into early May.

Just a glance at the GFS suggests Easter weekend could have severe storms in the Plains. Canadian also shows strong mid level SW flow over strong low level S winds.

Apparently there was a Tornado Emergency in IA earlier and I can see why wasn't expecting that today

I was keeping a close eye on that last night since I have family in the area. When that storm starting diving a bit further south than I expected I tried to get ahold of my parents but they were in evening church service and had their phones off. It got a little hairy there for about 30 minutes as I couldn't get ahold of them. Luckily it stayed north of where they were and they had driven home without incident.

That storm was a beast. Glad that it seemed to miss the little towns in the area.
