2009 Tornado Season

[Jim Zandonai]

Who knows..you are all probably close. Here I'll probably head south in C-IL for my first usually in mid- April.. APR 15 C.IL..?According to Gilberte Sebesnte this weak La nina could be good for IL. So he seemed excited about that. I'll take what comes.
I usually rely on the long range 3 days forecast to get time off..we need 48 hours..it doesnt always work but sometimes it does. Sometimes a sick day is needed
In any event hopefully it will be eventful and busy.

Na, probably not... its not as fun when you called a day within a model's range..

Yeah, I was just trying to sneak that one in there. I'm pretending to feel good about getting the date (of the three or so days) right. Actually, I'm just surprised I named it without completely jinxing the outcome. I figured as soon as I picked the 10th, SPC would issue a high risk with the event playing out as either a blue sky or cirrus clouded bust.

[Paul Austin]

Feb 10 - ne AR
Mar 27 - TX/OK pan
Apr 15 - w KS
May 3 - sw KS/nw OK
May 12 - n OK
May 22 - KS/MO/IA
May 29 - c KS
Jun 12 - NE/SD
Jul 10 - ND/MN

I guess I could increase my chances by listing an event for every date of the season

23 Tornado Reports for March 27, but none in the panhandles. How 'bout those NC tors? Anybody call that one? SPC issued a late slight risk area after several of the tornadoes had already occurred. We targeted central LA and fell behind the big southern cell on winding roads and small towns after a late decision to pursue the ongoing cell. On a more positive note, our TVN stream seemed to work well on first effort.

first post:

I thought I would have a little fun and throw out a date and state for tornadoes this spring. There is absolutely nothing scientific about this.

Feel free to throw out a date or two and the area you like, and at the end of the season we will revisit this thread and see if anyone happened to guess a day accurately.


I am going to say May 17th in northwest OK.

OK...it's almost the end of the year...time to start seeing who got lucky with their predictions.

I'll be putting up a separate thread (that is more serious) with all the year end stat stuff (which I think I've done in the past...I know I do it on my own..and for my website).
