Is it time to panic?
There's a serious storm system gearing up that's been talked about on the radio for about a week now.
In addition to introducing a last minute "tax-free emergency supply-buy" weekend in Texas, FEMA dropped this little gem last week:

The tinfoil hat in me remembers the FEMA camps too, wonder if they're what this was for. Is this global warming? Is this the beginning of the end?

I doubt anything will be nearly as bad as 2011, when that storm system tore up northern Alabama, and then a different storm cut a gash through Joplin.

It's kind of interesting how Dallas and Ft. Worth are inside of a high-risk tornado zone (not just for this storm, but in general), but have almost entirely avoided any direct hits.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma City is in a similar risk-zone, but it has gotten nailed regularly since the late-90's.
We can conclude from this that Dallas will probably be fine and that OKC will be leveled.

The cap has a high possibility of breaking up during this storm system.

Should be quite the storm system with a solid tornado threat from northern Texas through Oklahoma into central Kansas.
Shear values aren't necessarily impressive though from the surface up for both the NAM and GFS so that might suppress any type of significant tornado outbreak.
However I'd still stay tuned because the RAP models coming in late Monday into Tuesday morning should give meteorologists and the SPC/NWS a better idea of the threat overall. With such a strong negatively tilted trough and upwards of 5000 J/kg^-1 of CAPE there is ample instability to drive the potential for violent and long-lived tornadoes.
>>71990421
How much to worry / 10?
>>71988259

>>71990490
7/10, this looks like it could be the "severe weather outbreak" of the year potentially.
If helicity values come in over 300 m^2 s^-2 (0-1km layer) from the higher resolution convective models Tuesday morning it could be devastating, especially considering the storms will fire right along the dryline which will be near several large cities (Oklahoma City, Wichita, maybe Dallas). Happening potential is there.

College Station checking in. What's up Texas bros
>>71990988
Honestly I'm not too worried about anything really bad (like tornadoes), I bet it'll be like the last bad storms we had with the big hail and winds
>>71991090
Haven't seen much on the stations up here either, dunno I guess they don't think it'll be too bad
SPC just came out with their convective outlook for Tuesday and have upgraded the threat level from "Enhanced" to "Moderate". This typically means there is the potential for violent tornadoes as well as 2"+ hail and 80mph winds. So as the system approaches it seems to be further gaining strength and forecaster confidence is increasing.
If they upgrade the threat to "high" (which they may do tomorrow, they almost never do that for a day 2 outlook), that would mean it is very likely there will be several very large, violent, long-lived tornadoes. If you're in the pink or red hashed areas on the map you should be on high alert.
>>71991090
I read an article about that in the paper too. The weather stations are afraid of "crying wolf" and pushing fear so much that people won't pay attention, but these could be really serious storms.
>>71991211
Here's the threat level map too, also check'em.

Missoura here, live just outside Kansas City.
Literally nothing is happening. If something does happen, we are on top of our game. Even before Joplin and other shit happening, we do weekly tornado drills. Been that way since we've had sirens, I'd imagine.
Also, storms like this happen every couple years or so. Worst case scenario is another flyover bumsville like Joplin gets rekt.
Unless its my bumsville.

It'll be a storm system with tornadoes, that's certain.

so Mid west bros, Get prep'd even if its not that bad get fucking ready. ok?
Tuscaloosa, Alabama nignog who survived April 27th, 2011 here. I've been reading the forecasts and have been interested in weather since that historic day, but it seems like the 25th will actually be absolutely nothing bad. Tornado conditions index says very low risk. April 26th however, seems more likely for a good storm.
>>71991575
It's because there is bedrock under the soil, which is incredibly expensive to dig up. It's a real problem because some homes don't have basements because they're too expensive to build.

>>71991575
I'm in missery, and tornadoes are rare. Maybe once or twice a year, there will be a touch down in the viewing area (Kansas City), and every decade or so one nearby.
Basically, hobbit homes are just impractical insurance for extremely unlikely events. Floods tend to kill more people, so that's also why holes dont work well too.
>>71991716
Europe has tornados too thanks to climate change but since there homes are made of stone the tornados don't level anything there's even YouTube video of euros in their homes while a tornado goes right over it and they're all giddy and laughing lol
>>71991771
Dr Greg Forbes (founder of the Torcon index, and predicted a 9/10 chance of a tornado on April 27th) goes on to say the outbreak will be wide range, but will not be... particularly tornado heavy.
For college students who live in these areas, is staying home instead of taking your final a legitimate excuse whenever a tornado occurs?
Also, ask a Spic who survived April 27th in Tuscaloosa anything

I live in a wide rural area, and have a basement, so not only do I have clearance, I also have a safe space.
>>71991909
Obviously. If the Tornado alarm goes off in your area, you would be stupid to go out driving somewhere.
>>71991909
I was wondering that too.
I think only if your city gets leveled.
After Tuscaloosa, University of Alabama cancelled classes and just gave everyone good grades on finals.
>>71992055
Very true, are you local?
>>71991893
Looks spot on. I think the more interesting part of this storm will be the wind associated with it as it moves eastward late in the evening into the overnight hours. If it forms a derecho there could be winds along the initial front that reach 80mph or faster from Kansas City and eastward, that would reek some widespread damage.

You can't predict a tornado more than maybe 20 minutes before it happens. These predictions here are not saying there will be tornadoes, just that if the right conditions happen, they will work in junction with ones the NWS have predicted and could potentially happen. Most schools also have shelters set up along with yearly drills. The cities also are legally required to test loud air raid sirens every Wednesday or so. Top all that with tornadoes being fucking neat asf and anyone scared of them being a fucking pussy, then schools would laugh if you choose to stay, and would doubt you if you request later on.
Tl;dr: No.
>>71992297
I was living in Alberta (5 minute drive from the hospital that almost got fucked over. )Classes were canceled due to high risk. Pretty shitty day. Morning was clear, When it came by I was at home asleep, grazed my carport and dumped shit into my skimmer pool, but otherwise fine. Didn't realize till I woke up I coulda died.

My city was rekt back in 08. If it happens again so be it. My family has a nice shelter for damage.
Ask a resident of a supernaturally protected town that lies between two rivers. The only tornadoes we experience "in" the city is at the edge of city boundaries where the two rivers no longer surrounds the town together. The Native American tribes have told of our guardianship but it won't last if we don't take care of our rivers. Guess when the tornadoes have reached our city? When our rivers were at their most polluted.
Stupid farmers and their fertilizers ruined our previous resource for clean water and recreation. Our city used to use them now we have to outsource our water and can't swim or fish in the rivers like our grandparents used to.
>"Regulating dangerous chemicals from destroying our resources is socialism! Don't tread on me! The free market will fix it! Private property owners will take care of the environment better than any kind of government intervention. Never mind that what we do on our private property effects everybody in the city."
Idiots.

Are you aware that FEMA has a list of 50 million individuals that will be unconditionally terminated in case of a nation-wide emergency? Radical racists, relapsing ex-cons and other psychos that can potentially lower the nation's chances for survival and impede its recovery will be removed, and nobody will ever notice. Avoid FEMA shelters and public shelters in general and make sure you have a shelter on your property.

Weather channel hypes everything up, but the NWS SPC, which never hypes, is also freaking out.. so chances are it's going to be nuts. I've never seen the SPC use the words "/giant hail/" and "/violent tornadoes/" ever in the 5 years that I've been reading their reports. They've also never given a moderate or high risk sig sever area 2 days in advance. It's usually a few hours in advance.

Tuesday afternoon / early evening.
It will be hundreds of supercells. If you don't live in the red / pink area then it doesn't matter for you.
>>71988847
OKC has a much higher risk for strong violent supercells and tornadoes than Dallas.
Dallas is usually well southeast of the dry line.
