Severe threat Wednesday February 12, 2025

[Ledian]

Looks as though it'll stay just to the south of Quitman

 

[MichelleH]

This rain in Cullman is no joke. Under a Flash Flood Warning now. The yard looks like a river

Our yard and driveway were under water before it got dark. I can't imagine what it looks like now.

 

[Ledian]

Rotation in Clarke County is not as impressive as before. That's a good sign

 

[KevinH]

Sorry I am behind (on break)..

Of course the radar for my area goes out. I think this happens on purpose.

 

[Ledian]

Welp, never mind. Rotation strengthed again and Butler is now tornado warned. Also a nasty couplet approaching Waynesboro

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Impressive signature east of Laurel Mississippi

 

[Ledian]

Possible donut hole with that as well

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Hopefully it doesn't touchdown.

Possible donut hole with that as well

Maybe a bit of cc drop on it. Will have to wait till the next scan to confirm.

This is the most impressive radar signature of the day

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Big tds wow

 

[UncleJuJu98]

TOG, strong rotation and deep tds

 

[Clancy]

Substantial CC drop now.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Thankfully no major towns in its way but a strong tornado is likely heading east towards the Alabama state line. Signature of the day.

 

[Ledian]

PDS now

Are you able to tell the gate to gate shear?

 

[Clancy]

One thing about tornadoes in this part of the country - they can often occur even despite pitiful lapse rates. Wind fields have improved over the last couple hours in this area, and I'd have to guess this, combined with these storms riding boundaries, is contributing to the tornado we have now.

58/-45, though obviously subject to the limitations of reading G2G off of radar data.
