*****WEATHER BULLETIN -- GREAT LAKES REGION*****

The strong mid-latitude cyclone which moved out of the Central Plains on Wednesday and into the Great Lakes Region Wednesday night continues to impact a large portion of the Great Lakes primarily from Lake Michigan eastward through Lake Ontario and Lake Erie and adjacent states and provinces. Strong winds extend across a large portion of this region stretching all the way from the Dakotas eastward through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and eastward across portions of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and the adjacent coastal regions of the Canadian province of Ontario. Various storm warnings and advisories are in effect including GALE WARNINGS, STORM WARNINGS, COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES, and OTHER WEATHER STATEMENTS and STORM DAMAGE REPORTS related to this large and rather strong mid-latitude cyclone. If you are in areas that are being battered by these strong winds and in coastal regions where wind and wave hazards are threatening your area KEEP UP WITH THE FORECAST.

This situation should begin to subside in about 12 to 18 hours as the system continues to move northeast and away from the region.

NOAA is amazing as they actually create weather phenomena

In this case it was the AIR FORCE

Is there anything the WSR-88D cannot do?

Why don't they create rain across California?

I never though the National Weather Service would be creating weather phenomena and enhancing thunderstorm development and so forth. But here it is:

Huge Supercell over Kansas City

Now that's a supercell! Hopefully that tornado didn't get too large and do extreme damage but it certainly is threatening:

Very often a supercell isn't really a supercell but it is given the term prematurely. This however is a supercell. Often we have mature thunderstorms that have a life cycle of an hour or two and they rotate and are called supercells. The terms and definitions are often used carelessly as there is an information overload today coupled with technology. However, there is no excuse for any lack of awareness of severe weather in this country and people that don't pay attention and get hurt are just simply not paying attention:
