@adler_hanson I remember seeing that exact feature from the second image and thinking to myself “huh that kinda looks like a funnel”. but I was MILES away from it. This image isn’t from that moment but rather for perspective of how far away I was when I saw it. Same part of the storm tho.

[Chase Adam @chaserswx]

@a_guidarelli @damian_natzel Yeah as soon as I saw it inching toward the Mississippi River closer and closer I was done lmfao. Some of the trees and hills in far NE Iowa were enough for me.

[Chase Adam @chaserswx]

Storm chasing with my sister and friend today. South of Lime springs. Some transient supercell structures over here!! #iawx

@NWSDesMoines A few mins before I made that post ~8:30pm.

[Chase Adam @chaserswx]

@NWSDesMoines down branches and high winds in Clarksville Iowa.

@CPalermo_Storms trying to decide if driving out to this storm is worth it..

[Chase Adam @chaserswx]

Lightning show!! Centered between two tornado warned storm systems. They’re located across southern Iowa and Wisconsin #iawx

The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.

We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.

Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.

This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.

@computerman318 @CameronJNixon @oldscarf1stweek @PivotalWeather It depends what you are talking about but I’m assuming you’re talking about the interpolation. You just have to toggle it off when you go to edit the composite reflectivity layer.

@EMoriartyWX @oma_oma_1 I think I might’ve caught it on video? Here’s a screen grab from my phone.
