Since TWISTERS was released, we’ve seen a lot of interest in and heard a lot of questions about storm chasing, storm spotting and how the movie portrayed the science of tornadoes. Join us for a free webinar from the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma as we dig into TWISTERS to compare how the movie portrays science with how it works in real life.

The webinar will be Thursday, August 29th from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM CDT. It's free and open to everyone, but you must register at the link below to attend:

(NOTE: the registration link has been updated)

We’ll also provide some of the basic information you need to be able to observe storms safely and to stay safe when real-life twisters threaten. Whether you’ve seen the movie or not, this is valuable information for anyone who wants to learn more about the science of tornadoes.

Wow! Looks to me like a surface based vortex, the rotation in the storm is still quite distant, but this could very well be the start of one of yesterday's tornadoes.

The Storm Prediction Center’s 11:30 AM CDT update places parts of eastern Illinois, central/southern Indiana, southwest Ohio, and northern to central Kentucky in a SLIGHT RISK of severe weather. A MARGINAL RISK continues across southern Illinois, far southwest Indiana (southwestern Posey County), and western Kentucky. Damaging winds will be the primary hazard, but isolated hail and a brief tornado cannot be ruled out. An upgrade to ENHANCED category risk is possible in later outlooks, per the Storm Prediction Center. Stay tuned for updates.
