On Sunday...  June 1... I was on the phone with Drew discussing the potential for a potential Thursday Severe Weather Outbreak.  This conversation felt like "Deja Vu".  Looking back at recent Thursdays... it is no wonder why a Severe Weather Risk on a Thursday seemed natural at this point.  The forecast for this Thursday, June 12 is for thunderstorms again.  Potentially severe.

The maps below show severe weather recaps of each Thursday, going back to April 10, 2008.

    do you actually get paid for trying to do the weather

    Cold air funnel... I knew that... teaches me for not proofreading before hitting submit. I wasn't being critical of the warning. I just think that spotters need to know the difference. It's just like the scud clouds under some of the storms; they are scary looking and have lots of turbulence but they don't pose a threat. Thanks for the response - it's been a busy couple of weeks for you!

    Just curious... were the conditions today (06192008) favorable for cold weather funnels? I didn't see one in person but in the photos there were similarities. Thanks.

    not actually called "cold weather funnels" it would be a "cold air funnel", or a "sheer funnel". air aloft was much colder... creating the updraft. also, had a tight shift in winds overhead. wasn't the optimal set-up for them... but if you see 1... in a highly populated area... the perception is that it was a "big day". had the funnel dropped over a few cows in a rural area and not been spotted... the perception would be much different. jeremy

    B Grant can start his/her own TV station and do whatever, ignoring dangerous weather, but we all know which station had the viewers during these storms! Good luck with that, B Grant. The rest of us will keep watching JG.

    I have an idea - let's just skip Thursday this week and call it Friday!

    For B. Grant tell him everyone else appreciates the continued coverage that you do. TV programs are not that important anyway, I would rather be safe then blown away!!

    You know, Jeremy, we cuss your forecasts a lot of times, but for your superb continuous forecasting/reporting the Chapman tornado we cannot thank you enough! We took cover and although scared to death and thanking the Lord for going on over the top of us with so little damage to our property, we came through. Thank you again, you are appreciated!--Millie Fink, Chapman

    Thank you so much for the heads up on the tornado and sticking with us on continuous coverage.We had plenty of warning and time to get to the basement because of you and your teams accurate and timely predictions. Very Sincerely, Toni Fink

    No gripes on the storm warning coverage, one idea: for people who are camping and out of state it would be helpful to list the name(s) of state and/or federal campgrounds within the storm area.

    You guys have been great the last couple of weeks with all the storms and all the hours you have put in to keep us all informed. My daughters were upset they've missed some of their shows during the evenings while you reported on the weather, but after last night, they appreciate your work more. I'm really surprised we didn't get more tornadoes last night, the air, temps, etc were all there. Thanks again JG, DW, and CS, we appreciate you.

    We so appreciate your storm coverage of the Emporia area last eve, so many times we are half way in between Wichita and Kansas City, so our weather kinds gets omitted? Appreciate your wonderful radar last eve.

    I just want to say thank you for keeping us informed and safe you are my hero :)

    Not trained, but off to the north I would say that there was a well formed wall cloud. Spotted some rotation. Keep up the good work.
