Great Plains Severe

* Sounds like Josh is having a great time down in Mobile! Thanks to him for the updates. Having talked with Jon Davies personally a few times and having heard his presentations in the past, I know Josh is getting quite the treat this morning

* The pattern is a very active and highly amplified one right now. This is bring strong troughs through Tornado Alley about every 2nd or 3rd day and it looks like that pattern will continue for sometime. Here is something I have never seen before...The Storm Prediction Center is so confident that there will be large hail in Western Oklahoma and Southern Kansas that they put a 60% chance of severe hail within 25 miles of a point out there! That is amazing! I would imagine we will see some crazy reports of hail...such as baseball or softball sized. As I see them come through I will be sure to post some of the extreme reports.

To see that forecast click this link and run your mouse over the hail tab at the top of the graphic:

SPC Day 1 Outlook

* More updates to come including Josh Johnson's experiences in Mobile, and a few fun facts on hail since that is the topic of the day in Tornado Alley (ironic) so be sure to check back!!!
