Looking back at yesterday’s extremely large hail that fell SW of Arcola, MO. Classic size sorting where the biggest hail may not fall where the highest reflectivity is (the core). Looking at these radar images, would you guess 4” hail was falling at the location plotted? #MOwx

Around a year from today, a historical event will be on the brink of unfolding. 😳 April 8th, 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur. The path of the eclipse will traverse our country from southwest to northeast. I’m excited, I wish it was this year! Here’s to hoping the weather is gorgeous then and we aren’t dealing with any pesky severe weather!

ONE YEAR FROM TOMORROW: The "Great American Eclipse" will carve a path of totality right through the heart of Texas. For up to 4 minutes, near-total darkness will occur in the middle of the afternoon. Austin, San Antonio, and DFW are included. Pray for a cloudless sky! #txwx

Well this is just CRAZY. The street sign from Wellington Colony Dr in west Little Rock was found in Sherwood just north of Club Rd. This street sign travelled airborne for 13 MILES and it is beat up! Thanks to John Rennard for sending this in. #arwx

A series of video stills showing the evolution of the Rolling Fork, MS Tornado. The tornado develops well to our west, grows in size/intensity, crosses the hwy just to our north, then goes into town. Full video can be found here - youtube.com/watch?v=LaUfe5QC…
