The Weather Channel is showing on their maps today that the severe weather event, expected for tomorrow (May 1st) will be in parts of NE KS, NW MO, S. NE and SW IA. Its a small sliver of red. However, the SPC still has a larger area in the slight risk stretching all the way to S. OK. The WC continues to focus on that area for tomorrow. My question to this forum? Why does the WC differ on occasion with other forecasting organizations. (They have their own meteorologist, I assume)? I can, kind of see why for variance, I mean I am 100 miles from Tulsa and only 70 from Springfield MO. Their forecast discussions can vary for obvious reasons. Any thoughts would help me grasp this better! As a junior member and a local spotter for my community, I still have much to learn. I can't wait for the day to be able to post with the big boys.
