SPC uses jet streak translation speed to distinguish between high and moderate risk days as described in "The OMEGA Project" (Broyles et al). Here is a comparison of 3/31/23 (high risk) and 4/4/23 (moderate risk), two similar SPC outlooks with drastically different outcomes.

Looks like this especially intense/well-defined MCV could have been the product of multiple smaller MCVs caused by deep convection Thursday night coalescing together this morning.


CAMs are suggesting a remnant MCV tomorrow in South Dakota. See @CameronJNixon's blog post on how this can sometimes cause surprise tornadic activity: cameronjnixon.wordpress.com/research/remna… #sdwx #wxtwitter #wxX
