60% wind probs are pretty eye-popping. Not too often you see 60% anything (not sure what it'd take to see 60% tornado probs). 45% for us here. At the office until ~12:30 and then heading home after a lunch meeting.
good memory, although the day was comparatively a bust. It was a decent outbreak, but nothing worth a 60% hatched for tornadoes (4/27/11 was 45%, by comparison).April 7 2006 had a 60% TOR around the TN/MS/AL border for a couple outlooks, I think only time they ever went that high.
Very scary storms last night for sure. No doubt the most intense tornadoes of 2017 thus far.
So the HRRR now has discrete cells forming ahead of the main line in north-central AL
The problem continues to be unidirectional flow. Discrete cells might have a downdraft/hail component but anything more is VERY low. You can see the flow in the lowest 1km is NOT conducive for tornadic storms at all.So the HRRR now has discrete cells forming ahead of the main line in north-central AL
More damage out of Perryville.. oh boy.
That was literally the first thing I said when it touched down and started racing a large tornado across the area. Thankfully it wasn't as long; a nocturnal modern tri-state tornado would be nothing short of absolutely devastating.Wow, could be talking about an EF3-EF4 rating on this one when all is said and done. Haven't seen many damage photos from the affected parts of IL yet.
It sure was eerie how closely that supercell paralleled the path of the Tri-State Tornado.
