[JPWX]

Henagar is back in another TOR warning

Scottsboro tornado looks like it's about to touch down. Tight couplet.

It's already down. TDS.

I’m never going to be dismissive of a high CAPE low shear day ever again. It can still get very ugly, as I learned today.

It's not even low shear. It's more like high CAPE moderate shear today.

Not sure if it's a TDS, seems like clear air, but the structure and couplet is legit for sure.

Storm entering GA is starting to wrap up again.

Don't fret. I was dismissive of December 10, 2021 before it happened. Will never forgive myself for that.

Henager FD sounds very overwhelmed and also sounds like due to where the tornado occurred resources are cutoff north to south. Thankfully, there are very good mutual aid agreements between all these towns so they are getting help from Sylvania.

Not yet hearing of any damage reports from north of the 75/40 intersection.

Yeah I think that was a false TDS. Still looked scary for a couple scans.

Never trust a CC drop if it's under 35-40dbz. Unless it's a low-precipitation storm.

18 wheeler blown off of I-59 near mile marker 238. Driver is entrapped and the truck is in a ravine.

What is the name of the character on your profile picture? Sorry for being off topic.

Thanks. I'm burned out physically and mentally today. But at least you learn something new with each day.

Today was a case of "so many supercells that something bad was going to happen eventually" like I kind of suspected earlier. Basically raising the probability, if you will.

It's literally just my online avatar, lol. It doesn't have a name other than "Maxis" I guess.

It looks like Mega Man.

Trying to remember an event with so many tornados following each other. 4/27 had a few but tonight has been crazy,

Starting to see some rotation on Wynne, Arkansas cell. Entering into a primed environment with little activity so far tonight.

The sheer amount of supercells today really do remind me of the radar loops from 4/27/11. Of course, nowhere near as many were tornadic, violent, well organized or long-tracked as that day, but some of the radar loops do look somewhat reminiscent to an extent.
