An unfortunate time for reconnaissance to depart- Mellisa has most likely breached the Category 4 threshold, would suspect another pass would be close to, if not <950. Probably will have a C5 by morning.

@Marios_WX has any official info been put out? i’m at a loss

[Aidan @XzGames7]

Likely two intense tornadoes OTG

[Aidan @XzGames7]

Strong+ tornado likely west of Scott City

[Aidan @XzGames7]

imminent intense tornado threat, St Luis Metro

[Aidan @XzGames7]

Preliminary EF4-190 rating ≠ EF5 considerations.

Much more like 4/12/20 than 4/27/11

[Paul Douglas @pdouglasweather]

I run a private weather company and can confirm what Josh is saying is true. If it's a weather forecast, an app, TV weather graphic, Doppler radar stream, or weather model map, the raw data is coming from NOAA.

The US experiences more severe weather than any other nation on Earth. NOAA has been up to the task (death tolls have been falling due to improving tech, timely warnings and collaboration with local meteorologists). Firing 800-1000 experts from NOAA is a giant step backwards.

The tornado, hurricane and flood warnings you receive at home aren't automated. They come from local NWS meteorologists with many years of experience. Best forecasts are man + machine. NOAA was already short-staffed.

These cuts will make it harder to keep your family safe when skies turn threatening. Hype? Wait for it.

This isn't efficiency. It's insanity. A potentially deadly edition of FAFO.

@NWSGreenBay with the recent change to the expected snowfall amounts, is a winter storm warning anticipated for the southern tier of counties?

[Aidan @XzGames7]

@NWSGreenBay is the inclusion of Outagaimie county in the Winter Storm warning more specifically for the northern portion of the county? Wondering if expected impacts have changed at all for the Appleton area.

[Aidan @XzGames7]

@LukeSampe Is there a reason NWS was consistently above the guidance until the event started?

[Aidan @XzGames7]

@BenGrayden Didn’t realize this escaped the weather community. Yikes.

[Aidan @XzGames7]

@jefe_140 @BackpirchCrew Yes, and since it’s EPAC assume 175-180

[Aidan @XzGames7]

Probably back to C5

[Aidan @XzGames7]

@BrokerWx don’t know what the practical implications are of this. The only application of this would be adjusting all rating wind ranges up 40 mph, not increasing every tornado rating by 1.5-2.

[Aidan @XzGames7]

@HurricaneAddict @reid_lt But what if it was all snow

[Aidan @XzGames7]

@tjwx_lmao Surely this is satirical, right?

[Aidan @XzGames7]

Got a CRT TV going with a digital to analog converter + antenna to have a 24 hr weather channel playing. Total 25$ for everything.

[NWS Omaha @NWSOmaha]

The April 26, 2024 Elkhorn-Bennington-Blair area tornado has been upgraded to an EF-4 rating, a change in estimated maximum wind speed from 165 to 170 mph. Please see the attached for more information regarding this adjustment.
