@AdamLucioWX I agree with what you're saying for sure and I could be wrong or mis-remebering. As far as I am aware, this is the most high profile wndspeed change we've gotten recently. A statement would be nice especially when there are two very different reasons being spread around.
@AdamLucioWX I thought the flower shop was kept at 195 because the building across from it didn't have the same level of destruction. There were already questions on a couple failure modes for the shop and they used the adjacent building as a confirmation which it wasn't swept the same.
@dubsinfive I dont think emergency weather alerts were sent to cell phones until 2012. Realistically, it probably wouldn't have changed much on it own but it could have helped differentiate that warning from the previous one on the north side of town. Its all orders of magnitude.
We are going live on Youtube at 2PM Central Time!
Join us for discussion on today's severe weather setup, including for the area across Kansas and southeast Nebraska where a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) tornado watch was recently issued.

@NotChilledOut The unfortunate fact is that this isn't a priority on either side of the aisle. The only person who would maybe have some insight and could push for it would be @SenTuberville . This is definitely something that all of Dixie should be working towards though.
@nilwxreports Yeah I agree, im not sure why the CIG 2 was so far north to begun with. Definitely a dangerous day for Central and Southern Illinois. I wouldn't be shocked if the main risk area gets expanded substantially southward.
@225MPH_EF4 One thing I'd love to see more of in some of these documentaries is the forecasting process and the lead up to some of the bigger tornado days. Usually its a very brief part of the video but I think it could add a lot
@CPalermo_Storms I would note current surface obs for moisture already surging northward. The mid/long range models are starting to come into agreement before cams come into range so tonight will paint a very interesting picture for tuesday.
@AnubizzzBurner I would say very high ceiling with a messy floor (not necessarily a low one). The 00z tonight is going to be interesting given the current overperformance of quality moisture setting up earlier than expected into the midwest.
Full chat with @NWSSPC's @evan_bentley about what went wrong with Monday's MDT Risk forecast and some of the response from the public.. Amazing talk, Evan was a super cool guy, very transparent and I appreciate the time! Sorry I only got a few of your Qs in.. #wxtwitter
@ChasingWConnor@PettusWX If you could see the inside of the local fb groups you'd say otherwise ๐ I had people in my area last week complaining about no tornadoes and "they always get it wrong" as the Kankakee tor was still on the ground
@TornadoClipss Lake city day had an OWS wayyyyyyyy bigger than today. I could see an outbreak today of shorter lived tors but storms dont have a lot of real estate especially with how fast the cold front is moving.
@NickKrasz_Wx There aren't many prolific supercells that I can think of that have a "jank" look on reflectivity (hook wise) but are currently producing higher-end tors.
@NickKrasz_Wx Did you notice any similarities in supercell structure from the Kankakee cell when it was near the Lake Village area? Obviously not the same intensity but similar cyclic nature with a less defined hook on reflectivity?
