Tour 1 Really starts with a bang!
The team and guests are currently camping in Wichita, KS in place for a severe threat of a tornado outbreak. The SPC summary is rather long but a small paragraph took my attention to this....:
"This is a high-end environment. An upgrade to a tornado-driven High Risk was considered. There remains some lingering uncertainty with regard to the number of intense tornadoes that will occur. An increase in tornado probabilities will certainly be warranted should confidence in coverage and preferred corridors increase."
This mean its borderline High Risk and could potentially be a high risk over the coming forecasts depending on the model output data.
Good luck to the team today and as Sherrif Lynch said, photos and reprots will be added here as soona s there is chance to do so!

Tour 3 this year all being well! Happy to wear a mask for 10 hours if it means getting stateside for some severe weather!! Arriving a couple of days early at end of May to see if some good (bad) weather is nearby!!
Ace, ill be there!
On 24/02/2022 at 19:17, Jezza said:T3 for me as well. I'll be getting out there on the Friday before and hiring a car to drive round Kansas for a bit before meeting up with the group in Denver. Seriously looking forward to getting back out to the US!
Kansas is further away than you think from Denver! great road to drive on though especially if you get a bonus storm chase in!

Agree. Just watched a program on BBC 4 about extreme weather. They were talking about how on the 17th of January 1947 the temperature was 14°c with no sign of what was to come. 6 days later the snow started falling and it snowed somewhere in Britain every day for 8 weeks.
I'm not saying we're in for another 1947 but what is clear is that we still can't accurately predict nature beyond a few days. The models showed us this a couple of weeks ago.
would be nice though!

Good luck all!

Are you talking about Lincoln or everywhere else in General. Lincoln has pretty much zero chance today but other areas are not working off Solar Input today more the destabilisation of the 850mb layer as the Theta engages overnight.
Who did you borrow that off>

Wed night
WRF 12 Z is an upgrade again.
North of Liverpool heavy snow now showing 18:00-03:00 and above 150 m it’s more like 15:00–03:00!
South of Liverpool things are delayed a bit heavy snow more like 2100–03:00.
thinking Bury > Rawtenstall > Bacup could be the sweet spot.
im just east of bury by 10 min drive and at higher altitude so hopefully.....fingers crossed!

Do I say it’s like this. If you’re on high ground above 150 m get excited now because you’re going to get battered. If you live below this but East of M6 get excited now because you’re going to get slightly battered Thursday – Friday then heavily battered.
West of M6 could get battered Wednesday night then it’s boring until Friday night then could get slightly battered.
if you live in the south, go and throw toys in the mad thread.
i love your forecasting techniques!
