Would think tornado threat would be low if it hits around noon. I’m sure east of Des Moines and Ames though is where that might start.
Interesting that storm spotter training was postponed because of severe weather.
Do people actually pay for that? That's like taking a moon spotting class.
Why do people need a class to say hey................that's a storm?
When people with no training spot a storm..........does it count?
If a storm blows a house down and no trained storm spotter witnessed it.................did it really happen?
Maybe they should form a storm spotting union so no one is allowed to spot a storm without a permit. And no storm can be said to be a storm until someone with the proper training and permits verifies it's a storm.
Just from this thread the last few years I've learned the lead singer of 3 Doors Down and a former Drake basketball star are now professional storm chasers.
Exact shape the orange moderate has been showing for the past spc days. Weather forecasting is so interesting to me that we can even do it.
Hate to see the impacts but SPC really needs a “nailed it” day today.
Am I missing something? All of these ominous predictions but no severe thunderstorm watch? Maybe they are backing off on the severe prediction. It is rolling though western Iowa with no bad weather so far.
The bad stuff is the line that developing behind Omaha.
Not the main band yet. Messaging has been consistent with it being an afternoon and evening event. Watches are issued a couple hours ahead so you will start to see them pop up shortly (hence the MD).
