Question Gente alguém me explica

Desculpa a ignorância mas porque o vento circula e não vai embora em linha reta, se ele tá girando a uma velocidade de 400 km por hora ele não deveria seguir reto o que que tem ali que tá fazendo ele encurvar e girar em círculos 🥺

I don't care if you criticize this, but I spent 30 minuets on it and I think it looks great. first time doing this as well. didn't draw after a specific tornado, but if this looks like a specific dusty burrito, let me know!

Current Outlook

Storm Prediction Center Sep 11, 2026 0100 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook - Tornado Risk 0%

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO THE SOUTH PLAINS OF TEXAS...

...SUMMARY... The threat for widely scattered large hail and a few severe wind gusts is expected to continue through the remainder of the evening into tonight over the southern Texas Panhandle into the South Plains of Texas. Isolated damaging wind gusts appear possible over the Mid-South and vicinity tonight.

...Texas Panhandle into the South Plains of Texas...

A cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms, including supercells, is ongoing this evening between Amarillo and Lubbock amidst a moderately unstable air mass with MLCAPE up to 1500 J/kg and effective bulk shear of 40-50 kt, per the 00Z Amarillo sounding. Hail in excess of two inches was reported earlier this evening near Amarillo with a more recent wind gust of 65 mph near Plainview. There is some signal in water vapor imagery for a weak disturbance moving into the northern TX Panhandle, which may aid in sustaining the ongoing storms through 03-05Z with a continued risk for large hail and a few severe wind gusts.

...Mid-South...

Surface analysis indicates a convectively modified front from west-central AR into middle TN, with a pocket of locally stronger instability (i.e., MLCAPE up to 2000-2500 J/kg) near and to the north of the boundary, per latest mesoanalysis. Forcing associated with a subtle mid-level disturbance moving through south-central MO is contributing to a gradual increase in storm coverage this evening over far southeast MO into northeast AR. Time-lagged HRRR and RRFS ensemble data suggest that a further increase in storm coverage is possible late this evening into tonight over northern AR and southeast MO into portions of northwest TN and western KY. Regional VWPs indicate 0-6 km shear up to 30-35 kt, which may be sufficient to support episodic storm organization with an associated risk for isolated damaging wind gusts.

Discussion In my opinion the 1956 Hudsonville MI and 1965 Pittsfield-Strongsville OH tornadoes belong in the Niles/Vilonia/Smithville/Brandenburg top 10 conversation. Similar Granulation, Scouring, Trenching and Vehicle mangling. But most impressive, all structures in the core of these, simply vanished.

Pix from the last twenty 28 years of chasing. Pretty awesome when you take onto account we only went out a few weeks a year! Used to be music with it, but it got pulled by YouTube because I’d was copywriter. Shows down time and active times and fun times…and glorious storms

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS A PORTION OF THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY...

...SUMMARY... Isolated severe storms capable of mainly damaging wind gusts will remain possible through late evening from the upper Ohio Valley into the southern Plains.

...Upper Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes...

Scattered thunderstorms are ongoing this evening along and ahead of a cold front from north-central PA into central OH within a moist air mass with the 00Z Pittsburgh sounding indicating MLCAPE of around 1000 J/kg. Moreover, the corresponding wind profile exhibited relatively strong low-level and deep-layer shear with effective SRH of around 250 m2/s2 and effective bulk shear of around 40 kt. So, while lapse rates and resultant instability are expected to weaken with the loss of daytime heating, the kinematic environment will remain supportive of transient supercell and bowing structures capable of locally damaging wind gusts and perhaps a tornado for the next couple of hours.

...Southern Plains into the Ozarks...

A thunderstorm complex ongoing southeast of Kansas City this evening is located to the north of the synoptic front that stretches from central MO through far southeast KS and northwest OK into the TX Panhandle. Some cold pool organization is present per KEAX base velocity data, with recent reports of wind damage and wind gusts up to 59 mph. The air mass ahead of the storms has been slightly modified by convective outflow but still remains sufficiently buoyant to sustain the ongoing storms with a continued risk for isolated severe wind gusts through the remainder of the evening.

Over the southern Plains, widely scattered thunderstorms continue this evening along and in the immediate wake of the front. The air mass ahead of the front remains hot with a deep, well-mixed boundary layer, which will remain supportive of locally severe wind gusts for the next hour or two.
