Thursday continues to be a day where the forcing (oomph) – an upper-air disturbance – looks to arrive just in time to generate dryline supercells in the 6 to 8 p.m. window.

Liking the look of setting up somewhere between Dodge City, Kansas and Shamrock, Texas.

Today is Earth Day, and we’re also days away from a dramatic uptick in severe weather odds for the nation’s Heartland.

The atmosphere is chaotic, beautiful, elegant and destructive.

No matter what the atmosphere does, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

A potentially active to very active stretch of severe weather is likely late week, with repeated rounds of strong to severe storms over the Central States.

Back to Kansas I go! Stormy pattern arrives Thursday. ✈️

Matthew Cappucci is at “the most haunted hotel in America” with a firsthand view:

When your warning sailboat capsizes

Brb going to wander the halls and do some hauntings and whatever ghosts do

All that rain and lightning over DFW means that most American flights are cancelled. The ground stop through 9:15 a.m. will likely be extended or reissued. Average delays are 91 minutes.

Guess who has to spend another night at the haunted hotel? 🙃 Me.

Trying again tomorrow.
