Many may know-I am a weather watcher. I have a weather station at school that posts to many weather services. Also have a website with a Twitter account. (with a Chiefs list)
Below is the Windy.com map. I centered it on KC but it can be moved to where you are located. Or go to Windy.com-there is also an app.
Very versatile and tons of possibilities. This map is fully functional for the viewer.
Some have already had severe weather-where as I am looking at 5 inches of snow for Easter.
Had to put this here instead of the Epic Win Thread. Unfortunately, one death last night.
Nate Erickson survived a tornado near Dalton last night by hanging on underneath this tractor. His coworker, who he says was a 30-year-old newly married father of four was killed. @kare11pic.twitter.com/zjY8ZbPIHt
In case you missed it, because it developed quickly over the last 24 hours, a tropical storm is likely to head directly through NYC this afternoon and evening. Max winds right now at 50 mph and plenty of rain moving in, which will be the main threat... pic.twitter.com/a3ohuhnuG7
At the end of harvest I hadn't checked my wells in a hot minute and really needed to get there. But Dad needed some help with the combine, so 2 hours later I'm doing it in 70 MPH wind on the last 2. Got sandblasted in the first one and the second one was fucking raining. Had to load up my 4 wheeler in the shit. I was a drowned rat when it was all done. We only got a half inch, but I'm pretty sure I got it all in the teeth.

Sad story. Guy left behind 4 kids.
It wasn't the guy filming the tornado that died was it?
Coogs-no. A local person in a shop. Direct hit of the tornado to the shop.
With the video I posted. I am impressed at the small size of storm at the base compared to how big the top is. Almost like you could be within feet of it and be ok.
Then seeing how hard the air is being driven into the ground.

That was an impressive video. I watched it multiple times. By the looks of the corn field, and the couple of other videos through his windshield, it must have been quite a bit bigger just prior to being the 1 yard wide in this video.
Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Watch area and details here. 90MPH winds possible in the watch area with these storms. Metro will have to be watched carefully. Nothing to take lightly. Something like <3% of watches issued are PDS. Stay safe tonight. Even in MSP #mnwxpic.twitter.com/aQduVbkksW
