8 Where does 2016 stand so far? to-date (black) 8

9 Active season MINUS inactive season jet stream level pattern H L H 9

10 Upper air pattern so far this spring: the opposite! L H 10

11 Current situation Active week on tap likely to be numerous tornadoes, including outbreak today and again possibly Friday-Saturday Quiet first week (and maybe into second week) of May likely. Longer term: more split flow upper-level low pressure systems probable over the Southwest-South Central States. 11

12 Tuesday April 26 Jet stream L 12

13 Tuesday April 26 Categorical Severe Threat Tornado probability (hatched: 10% chance or larger chance of significant tornado) Hail probability (hatched: 10% or larger chance of 2 or larger) 13

14 More severe weather chances Friday-Saturday Jet stream configuration Friday evening Greatest severe weather threat Friday Greatest severe weather threat Saturday 14

15 Pattern possibility balance of season H L L L Global wind signal slowly decreasing as El Nino only gradually decays Historical composite Pacific- North American pattern associated with a slow transition to lower global wind regime: split flow with high-latitude blocking not the most supportive for a high-end tornado season 15
