Severe Weather 2025

North MS County Tornado Stats (Updated yesterday to include tornadoes from Saturday):

Total Tornado Count: 668 (was 664)
Total PM Tornado Count: 489 (was 486)
Total AM Tornado Count: 178 (no change)
Highest Tornado Count by County: 55 (Lee and Monroe) Lee's total was 54 until the Shannon Tornado from Saturday, so now it's back to 55
Lowest Tornado Count by County: 15 (Benton)
Lowest Tornado Average By County: 1.3% (Benton)
Highest Tornado Average By County: 4.6% (Monroe and Lee)
2nd Highest Tornado Average By County: 3.33% (DeSoto and Prentiss)
 
I'm guessing the 35% areas were from way back in the day?
 
Don't mean to alarm anyone but has anyone seen the 2025 Severe Weather thread on Storm2K? The very first post suggests that the coming setup for this tornado season is similar to 2011.

Does anyone see anything about the coming season that could be like 2011? I would never ever want to be in a 2011-style outbreak, no one world.

No, do you have a link?

There are many factors that came together for the events of 2011 (and 1974) to happen.

There are large scale factors that cover entire continents (which is what the site you are talking about is probably referring to), all the way down to factors the size of a thunderstorm (which isn’t known THIS far out).

The link for those that are wondering:


And the tweet, that is referenced in the post:

I don't actively have a link but if I can get my phone later, I can provide a link to the Storm2K thread.
 
I remember 2011 vividly, or at least April 27th and the one right before, but I don't necessarily remember the climatology and large scale patterns. Outside of the April 27th event which was obviously an extreme outlier, what was the rest of the season actually like?

April was extremely active from start to finish, beginning with a huge serial derecho (over 1,300 wind reports) on the 4th, a couple of other outbreak sequences mid-month (including the very prolific one from the eastern Plains on the 14th through to the mid-Atlantic on the 16th) and culminating with the Super Outbreak.

Most of May was actually rather quiet until activity began to pick up again on the 21st of the month, leading to another series of violent and deadly tornadoes including Joplin and the central Oklahoma outbreak (El Reno, Chickasha, Goldsby).

I remember when Wunderground use to offer blogs (I did one on there) each blog I would do in April that year, I was either talking about a current outbreak or hinting at a severe weather threat the next week.

2011 was a wild and sick to my stomach spring to follow. Almost in comprehensible the fatalities and destruction.
 
There were also tornadoes in Alabama on Feb. 24, 2011 and I think there was a snow event in January.
You are correct. I had 6 inches of snow on January 10th or 11th that year.
