I mean if you read between the lines of what Reed put up he's basically saying an active period not necessarily intensity.

Would a professional meteorologist please comment and give us a level-headed actual data-driven response versus sensationalistic post to get clicks and views from a social media account? I went ahead and removed him from my YouTube subscription. I have enough to worry about in my life and don't need extra nonsensical noise.

For the record I don't have any social media accounts, so the only Twitter posts and such I see are ones that are posted here.

Reed Timmer is a professional Meteorologist. He holds a Ph.D. in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma. My take on his post is that we have several chances for severe weather outbreaks in the area he outlined during the month of April.

Trust me I know who Reed Timmer is. I still respect him, I just think that some of his hype and over the top commentary is just not my style anymore. His business is to drive clicks and views so I get that he wants to get out there and stir up talking points. His contribution to Meteorology and such does not go un noticed, I think he could turn down the volume a bit, but again that's his choice and some people like that. Just not for me anymore.

And on that subject when a person is a professional meteorologist with his credentials people tend to hyper focus on everything he says and just pass it along because again his business is to drive views to his services. I think with his type of public profile that he should also be mindful that some people will take what he says and not fully comprehend and understand what he's trying to get across and thus create some potential fear and unwarranted panic because the majority of people don't understand exactly how models and forecasting works that far out or even in the real time.

Convective Chronicles also does 30 to 50 minute post-mortems on big ticket tornado producers of the past, and the occasional SPC Mod or High Risk that 'underperformed'. I knew about jet streaks but he has shown the speed of the progression of the jet streak is also a factor in whether or not significant severe will happen.

GFS definitely caving to the Euro which should come as no surprise when it comes to these spring time synoptic patterns.

Interesting pattern ahead. I have been in the hospital with MRSA since Thursday finally going home today, been a rough one. So I am glad to see some fun weather ahead to track as I a recover at home. Bring on the rain and storms.

Unless something drastically changes with the models I suspect that enhanced risks are probably likely sooner than later. Too early to have any confidence though if we will see severe risk that go above that.

Signals continue to trend in the right direction for beneficial rainfall for a good portion of the state in particular along the I-35 corridor from San Antonio to the DFW metro beginning this weekend into next week.

Yes severe weather looks likely but details on that will become clearer obviously as we move closer to the weekend but regardless the active weather pattern as discussed continues for several regions across the state
