From 12 UTC on Tuesday, April 2 to 12 UTC on Wednesday, April 3, NWS Forecast Offices have issued 768 severe thunderstorm, tornado, and flash flood warnings
This is next highest total number of SVR+TOR+FF for an April calendar date since the April 26-27, 2011 Super Outbreak
And there you have it. At least a dozen tornadic supercells in an STP bullseye of 9, smack dab in the center of an SPC High Risk. We can stop complaining now, or rejoice, or just appreciate the NWS.
Since the start of the day on Friday, NWS Forecast Offices have issued 268 tornado warnings and 510 severe thunderstorm warnings (in addition to many other products)
Thank you so much to these folks for working around the clock to protect lives and property with lifesaving warnings and information!
