This boundary being a warm front was likely crucial to yesterday's Michigan tornado for two reasons. 1/5

You don’t see this very often - a violent tornado in Michigan, in March, with ice still on the lake. Thoughts are with all those affected. #MIwx

It looked like they were under the gun a few times the other day. I kept waiting for someone to say, “It looks to hit Wakita head-on.”

This meso loop of #Melissa from CIRA is absolutely stunning at it makes its closes in on landfall in southwestern Jamaica.

A jaw-dropping view of the sun setting on Hurricane Melissa tonight.

Melissa continues its approach to Jamaica as a powerful, major hurricane.

The National Weather Service has received permission to hire 450 meteorologists, hydrologists and radar technicians just months after being hit hard by Department of Government Efficiency-related cuts and early retirement incentives. cnn.it/4odQIjc

June 22, 2007:

Canada's first (and only) official F5 struck the town of Elie, Manitoba. The twister's path was erratic and contained several loops. Several homes were destroyed, including one that was completely swept away. Amazingly, no one was injured or killed.

Excellent, thanks!! Looking forward to it.

@wxfront.bsky.social any chance you’ll be adding in Canadian radars?

Spotted the tornado east of Regina, SK today! We missed the southern ones near the US border early on, but still glad we caught at least one. Unfortunately, the earlier left split really messed up the environment, but that’s how it goes. #SKStorm

Tornado watches have been issued for portions of SE SK/SW MB. #MBStorm #SKStorm

Higher end severe wx threat over SE SK/SW MB today with all hazards possible, including large hail, damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes. #MBStorm #SKStorm

Large hail, strong gusty winds, and the chance for a tornado or two tomorrow over the southeast. #MBStorm #SKStorm

Smoke from fires near #LacduBonnet, MB are spreading across #Winnipeg and portions of southern #Manitoba. #mbwx #mbfire

(1/2) That’s a wrap, folks! The U of M Storm Chasers just crushed over 7300 km of chasing thunder and thrill! 🌪️⛈️

We caught 4 tornadoes, storms that posed with snow-capped mountains, battled gusty winds, and racked up more hotel key cards than we can count.

What a game! Let’s get the W next game and move on to the second round! #GoJetsGo!! #WPGWhiteout

NASA's Perseverance Watches As Dust Devil On Mars Gets Eaten By A 65-Meter-Wide Dust Devil “If you feel bad for the little devil," Mark Lemmon said, "it may give you some solace to know the larger perpetrator most likely met its own end a few minutes later."

NASA's Perseverance rover has captured unexpected footage of one dust devil consuming another during an imaging experiment. 🔭

There's still a bit of uncertainty among the models about the system heading our way this Sunday night into Monday. But the latest trends are hinting that it might just miss us to our southeast - meaning we won't get much rain/snow.. But, this could still change.. #MBStorm #MBwx

While it's certainly a possibility, I wouldn't rely solely on one model, particularly the HRRR. You're probably better off looking at the NBM.

From April 2-9, NWS Forecast Offices issued:

• 1046 Severe T-Storm Warnings
• 485 Tornado Warnings

This is the third most Severe T-Storm + Tornado Warnings issued through April 9 on record

2025 leads with the number of Valid Time Event Coding (VTEC) products to date

The epic tornado cake my partner and her family made me for my birthday. Time to go chase it with a fork before it blows away!

Public Information Statement National Weather Service Memphis TN 212 PM CDT Fri Apr 4 2025 ...Memphis Operational Status Update... We have a tremendous backlog of storm reports that still need to be posted. Due to the ongoing warning operations and the extremely high volume of partner coordination, briefings, and media interviews, we simply haven't had the bandwidth to post them in real-time. We sincerely ask for your patience as we continue to balance the delivery of critical, life-saving information during this multi- day event while also working to mitigate staff fatigue. We are only half way through what is a marathon. Please know that all reports are being carefully documented and will be posted in the coming days. At this time, we have made the decision to hold and post Local Storm Reports in bulk rather than releasing days-old reports during active weather. Our concern is that trickling in outdated information could unintentionally add confusion to an already chaotic operational environment. Additionally, we plan on focusing on warnings and communication and will forgo the issuance of any Special Weather Statements for sub-severe storms this afternoon and tonight. Thanks for your continued support, and please keep the real time reports coming as they are critical to the warning process. Stay safe and take care of yourselves and others around you.

This just in from the Memphis National Weather Service Forecast Office. They have a "...tremendous backlog of storm reports that still need to be posted." Full statement is below with alt text. #arwx #mowx #mswx #tnwx
