Nasty times my friend...

Fully expecting a bigger one to hit California shortly...sometime in the next 24-48 hours.

I really hope I am wrong.

Massive, pulsing ear ringing this morning. Have not had it this bad and pulsating either.

Ear ringing won’t stop.

Gonna try and get some sleep before work despite the ear ring.

Good night for now!!

Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0755 AM CDT Fri May 15 2020

Valid 151300Z - 161200Z

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PARTS OF NY TO
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND PARTS OF WEST/CENTRAL TX INTO SOUTHERN
OK...

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CO/NE BORDER
AREA...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered damaging winds, severe hail, and a couple tornadoes are
probable across parts of New York into western New England this
afternoon through early evening. Scattered to numerous severe wind
gusts, along with scattered large hail, are possible across southern
Oklahoma into western and central portions of Texas.

..Northeast States...
Overall change from the 06Z outlook is minimal with concerns over
the amplitude of boundary-layer moistening depicted in latest
guidance.

A shortwave trough over Lake Superior will translate east into Maine
by early Saturday. Attendant mid-level speed max is progged to
amplify with 500-mb flow in excess of 50 kt overspreading much of NY
and northern New England by peak heating. Surface cyclone should
diurnally deepen as it reaches the NY/VT border area around 21Z.
Surface temperatures should warm through the 70s and low 80s south
of the cyclone, ahead of an impinging cold front. While low-level
moistening is underway, the bulk of guidance may be too aggressive
with depiction of warm-sector dew points in the low 60s.
Nevertheless, enlarged low-level hodographs should favor a few
supercells developing from central NY and spreading towards southern
VT/NH and western MA. Modest mid-level lapse rates will likely
curtail significant severe potential.

...OK/TX...
Primary changes are to expand severe risk east across the TX Gulf
Coastal Plain for late in the period and to upgrade to a category 3
risk for wind.

A surface cyclone should drift south in the southeast TX Panhandle
as a convectively reinforced cold front is pushed south from the
OK/KS border area. Convective outflow ahead of the cold front has
made steady southward progress early this morning across northeast
OK as moderate to strong convection sags south across the Ozarks.
Lower-than-average confidence exists in where these boundaries will
lie by peak heating. South of them, a strongly to extremely unstable
air mass will develop a plume of MLCAPE from 3000-5000 J/kg amid
very steep 700-500 mb lapse rates of 8-9 C/km.

MLCIN will become negligible along the dryline in west TX and
scattered thunderstorms will develop during the late afternoon along
it to the intersection with the composite front, aided by a difluent
upper-level pattern with approach of a minor trough ejecting east
from the NM/Chihuahua border. Compared to a typical mid-May severe
setup, deep-layer shear will be marginal outside of the
dryline/front intersection and along the Rio Grande Valley. As such,
outflow-dominated convection is expected with several consolidating
cold pools this evening. Consensus of CAMs suggest convection on the
front should sag south, merging with cold pools emanating east from
the dryline and higher terrain of Coahuila. This should yield
widespread convective overturning this evening through tonight with
multiple large MCSs possible as a moderate southerly low-level jet
develops across south TX. While deep-layer shear will be modest,
potential exists for several swaths of severe wind gusts into
central TX given the supportive thermodynamic setup for robust cold
pools.

...Central High Plains...
Minimal change to the 06Z outlook with a corridor of severe hail and
wind possible, centered on the Colorado-Nebraska border in the late
afternoon and early evening.

A zone of low-level convergence is expected to remain oriented
north-south across eastern CO into the NE Panhandle. While low-level
moisture is not particularly high across the central High Plains,
adequate PW should be in place for robust convection along this
boundary ahead of a shortwave trough over the northern Rockies.
Around 40-kt effective shear suggests a few weak supercells should
form before convection evolves into an eastward-moving cluster that
outruns the instability axis this evening.

..Grams/Goss.. 05/15/2020

Hope it's not too bad for you or for Simple. Our storms that hit around 4:30-5am weren't too bad. Definitely not as strong as I expected.
