@Vincent5327827 @DJSnM You're clearly a pilot and know a lot about the systems on-board. But I can tell you from a forecaster that data quality is garbage Compared to ballons.

@Vincent5327827 @DJSnM 4. If all nearly jets are equipped why do we only get maybe 10% of the profiles from even major hubs? Data quality is terrible. Ive launched hundreds of sondes and looking at hundreds of thousands more. I have never once willingly picked an acars profile over a 10 htz sonde.

@Vincent5327827 @DJSnM 1. Aircraft are not lagrangian, the slopes of the ascent and descent are too shallow and dispersive. Accents and descents are the most important parts of the profile. 2. Location location location. Clustered around major hubs. 3. All the data is concentrated in the FLs 3. If

@Vincent5327827 @DJSnM No Not all aircraft use amdar and acars. The data from the aircraft is signifcantly lower quality than radiosondes esspecially in the boundary layer and lower troposphere. Most of the data is actually derived fron satellite. There was a switch towards automated grids

@StellarNickK @DJSnM Just fyi day 2 is when humans start to interact with the grids at most forecast offices rather than going with the straight NBM. You can get sky cover directly from NDFD and its better than any raw model output

Chasers! Since we're going to be chasing & spotting storms that may cross several CWAs in their lifespan, use Report Buddy to help you get reports out to our NWS colleagues! Report Buddy automatically detects your location and nearest CWA when submitting reports, you can use a menu drop-down to select from various report types! reportbuddy.org @TwoDogsWx

I see lots of reports to both NWS Omaha and NWS Hastings for the one tornado, Report Buddy automatically detects what CWA youre in! You can also use our drop-down and photo feature to easily report severe hazards! reportbuddy.org @TwoDogsWx

HREF/SREF/NAM retirement: I have seen some people provide some clarity on aspects of this, but since this is something at the SPC we have been working with for awhile, I wanted to address all aspects of this in one spot. 🧵

Excited to announce my (ongoing) partnership with Andrew Lyons )@TwoDogsWx) of our continued development of Report Buddy! Report Buddy is designed to help storm spotters report hazardous weather more efficiently, allowing storm spotters to select from a drop-down of various reports and Report Buddy will generate pre-made text for them to copy to Facebook or X. We've made several changes lately, including creating a PWA that can be downloaded onto mobile devices! You can also now directly copy your coordinates instead of having to make a full report to retrieve them, improvement to the quality of photos that're processed and improvements to load location services faster. Thank you to those who already use Report Buddy, and for those newcomers we reach with this post, I'd love to hear your feedback on how we can improve Report Buddy and make your reporting easier! reportbuddy.org

This cluster of storms approaching SE Missouri bears close watching. As long as they remain at least semi-discrete, they will start to feel the effects of an accelerating nocturnal LLJ and pose a risk for (potentially strong) tornadoes.

@BluekandyWX Amen to that. I am hoping these don't cause problems a few hours down the road this evening.

I would pay close attention to these two supercells over the next few hours. Visually robust rotating updrafts moving into a high STP (3-5) this evening. If they remin cellular I'd expect significant tornado potential with them in the next couple of hours.

Thank you everyone who joined the @NWSSPC live stream earlier! That went way smoother than I expected for a first time. Will only get better from here. I hope everyone stays safe today!
