Severe Weather 2025

Can't believe it's almost 4 years with no high risk area for Alabama. Those March 2021 high risk back to backs where crazy. Do y'all think we see one this spring? (Actually didn't realize how rare they were, last high risk I'm Alabama prior to that was April 2011.. Wow)

March 2021 was also the last time a tornado touched down in Cullman County. Which makes me nervous for the spring because we are way overdue.

Yeah, we haven't had a classic spring outbreak here in a bit. That March 25 2021 high risk had a tornado about 15 miles south of where I lived during that time. I also remember just prior to that in January of 2021 we had that ef3 tornado that tracked like a mile from my current house. That start of the year was crazy with tornadoes in central Alabama

yeah, and people down there are prob not ready for 1 since its been 14yrs since 2011 and nothing remotely like it has occurred since, so people being people just undermine da events until excrement happens again....
 
Here's the fultondale tornado before it made it's way to near where I was living at the time. (Center point). My grandpa woke me up 5 minutes before that thing hit less than a mile from me. I woke up to constant cloud to ground lighting. It was a weird night because that was like the only tornado happening lol. Oh hey its our own Richard jacks

It took a almost identical track to the January 2012 tornado which actually hit where my house used to be in center point. It was almost 10 years to the exact date. Very wild. These tornados in north Jefferson county take such identical tracks it's uncanny. Id say it's almost worse than the Smithville magnet
 
I had thought about doing the same spreadsheet with the North MS tornadoes by counties with Central Alabama, but the way Central Alabama's tornado list is setup, there's no way I can. Like with the North MS tornado database, you can search by year, by month, and by county
 
After kind of losing it for a while due to trending to a more sheared out/positively tilted system with a crashing cold front and muted low-level response, the GFS as of today's 12Z run has brought back the severe threat for the 3/4 timeframe. Lots of time for this to trend either way.

For eye candy purposes, here's a forecast sounding from the MS/AL border region. One of the more impressive I've seen in a while.

Oh how I WISH I could search BMX's state tornado database by county.
 

NWS Jackson Forecast Area Tornado Database

Tornadoes that have affected Mississippi, Louisiana, and parts of southeastern Arkansas.
midsouthtornadoes.msstate.edu midsouthtornadoes.msstate.edu

NWS Memphis Forecast Area Tornado Database

Tornado west Tennessee, north Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri.
midsouthtornadoes.msstate.edu midsouthtornadoes.msstate.edu

NWS Jackson tornado database is setup the same way as NWS Memphis tornado database. It does take a while for them to add the new tornadoes in though. They may just update it at the end of the year which makes sense. Thankfully, now that I have the North MS tornado spreadsheet, I can go in and add the new tornadoes in myself on my end that occur across North MS instead of having to wait

Are most of members here from Tornado Alley? At the other Weather Forums I used to visit, the majority of members were from the PNW and maximum activity was during the winter, especially in low elevation snow events.

I think a big majority of members are actually from the southeast, id say this board is pretty active all year around due to the smorgasbord of weather conditions in the southeast. The only real lull is in-between tornado seasons late may- early October, but even then hurricane and tropical systems pop up; not to count the later tornado season of the upper plains.

I definitely am. Born in Columbus MS December 2001, and i've lived in North Carolina, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Louisiana. Been back here in Pontotoc since 2022
 
I've lived in Smithville, MS all my life and am literally the local Monroe County Meteorologist. I work with our EMA director and county officials during inclement weather and provide local weather write ups in our county newspaper (that they post online as well). My goal this year is to make better connections with my county officials and all.

When I'm not busy with inclement weather stuff, I love to dig and do weather research to put in spreadsheet/word docs/PowerPoints. I love connecting past events with current events, ENSO, MJO related stuff as well. My goal is to make my forecasts and my data collecting simple and easy to understand without going overboard.

If I had to guess, most active members are from AL, with MS, GA, and TN all having similar numbers.

But the Deep South is where you'll find most of us.
