Points S & E have been upped to a 2/5 severe weather risk today. The main concern in the dark green and yellow is damaging wind

A bit of an update to the reports map yesterday. Adding a few more tornado reports and shading for urbanized areas. Green on this map is Flash Flood Warnings and reports Blue squares are the handful of wind damage reports Purple triangles are the funnel cloud rpts

Also, one thing to remember: In SPC terminology, storm coverage does influence the risk level. So, was marginal the correct category, given a handful of tornadic supercells? I'm sure that'll be debated. I can see the case for SLGT, but hindsight is 20/20

When you map it out like this there's some groupings and that's probably where Sterling's attention will be focused

Been a long time since I've seen this many tornado reports in our region, as tornadoes here are typically not long track. When all is said and done, we're likely talking about multiple reports from 3-4 different tornadoes, but survey teams will determine this in the days ahead.

Just a warning that the algorithms that control our social media lives will be regurgitating stuff about the warning in Montgomery Co for days. There is no further active threat

partial eclipse and some cloud cover is a pretty weird combination

Final update ahead of this afternoon's total solar eclipse. 😎 Clouds will impact the view throughout much of the totality path, but high clouds from Texas to Ohio and in parts of New England may not completely obscure the eclipse. Stay safe and enjoy!
Key Messages for 2024 Total Solar Eclipse A total solar eclipse will occur today, April 8th. Know the forecast before you go: weather.gov Interpreting Map Shading: Gray: Cloud cover is more likely to occur. Light gray/light blue- Greater uncertainty in the coverage of clouds. Unshaded- Clear skies more likely. Severe weather and flash flooding Developing around and after the time of the eclipse across parts of Texas into southern Oklahoma, southwest Arkansas and northwest Louisiana, a few tornadoes, scattered large to very large hail, and severe wind gusts will be possible. The severe weather and flash flooding threat will continue into Tuesday. Use caution and check latest forecasts if traveling in these areas! Rain Showers 20-30% chance during totality in northwest Pennsylvania and western New York. Higher chances away from the path of totality across Northern Plains and from Tennessee Valley to central Appalachians.

The eclipse actually begins over the South Pacific between Kiribati and French Polynesia. The moon's shadow will then take a few more hours to reach the Mexican coast begin crossing North America as the eclipse crosses the day-side of the earth

All 50 states have some visibility on the eclipse. AK maximum about 5% (so yes, it counts) HI about 22%
