21z RAP has trended back up, looking like the 9z RAP. 21z rap feeds the 00z HRRR, so could get interesting tonight. 15z RAP/18z HRRR might be an outlier. Worth watching.

If you haven't watched this already you NEED to. I'm literally about to watch it again. Amazing footage, no screaming etc.
OUTBREAK is now on YouTube - a full 20 minutes of raw video showing the wildest chase of my life as an outbreak of tornadoes moved through Illinois and Indiana. In total I saw 8 tornadoes in a 4 hour period, with multiple close-range intercepts youtu.be/5Q582-O7dUo

Expected this. The route to a high risk will be once evolution on morning convection is certain on d1, and if it is more favourable for tornadoes, I believe a 30## will be issued, resulting in the 5/5. Not going ahead with an upgrade was the right choice.

Reminder: as we get within 42 hours of the severe weather event, StormNet switches to hourly outputs & hourly updates. Hourly probabilities are lower than the aggregated 12-hour probabilities, but that doesn’t indicate a downtrend.

Upgrade to a tornado driven moderate was pretty obvious, not shocked they pulled the trigger overnight. Think there’s a strong chance this could be the first CIG3 usage

Two rounds of potentially severe storms are expected Wed, first in morning into early afternoon. These storms may produce damaging winds & large hail. A second, potentially more dangerous round of potentially tornadic storms is expected late in the afternoon into early evening.

Some models show climate skeptics rising in the comments toward the weekend. Low IQ centered toward the south west could bring significant trolling with dense replies. 1976 references could break records particularly, in the UK, where a thick layer of idiots is expected to form.
