Severe Weather 2025

[TileDude]

Considering buying a drone (got a little money to blow so why not lol ) for viewing some of these supercells/storms that come through northern Jefferson county. Maybe if we see something next weekend I'll have one and be able to get a birds eye view of the north Jefferson county tornado magnet.

Drone pic from North Jefferson County. You should go ahead and take the plunge.

Lots can change, but I think it we see two more model runs with the same signal we're looking at a legitimate big threat next week.

Why do you people keep doing this to yourself? Always assume it will be a nothingburger and be slightly to moderately surprised.

Nothing wrong with his statement. I sorta agree with it, he's not saying a mega tornado outbreak. Just saying a legitimate big threat is possible if we get a little more consistency, which is true. Nothing to sound the alarms yet but definitely a very intriguing look!

That's a great shot right there. @UncleJuJu98 You better get us some sick shots of some Alabama wedges!

I second that. I know the trees and hills make for a harder chase than the plains, but that area of Alabama is absolutely gorgeous.

Will do haha. I may even get it out at night to film some of those stovepipe tornadoes that like to come through fultondale/centerpoint every 5-10 years.

No need to leave where I'm at in north Jefferson, they come straight for me and usually I'm on the southeastern side of any storms so, we get a good view at my place.

"Long-term operational and ensemble models indicate a stronger upper-level low deepening over the Central Plains Friday and move northeast into the Upper Midwest instability and favorable kinematics may be conducive by Friday night. Increasing some strong to severe perhaps for thunderstorms along with a potential for heavy rainfall. However, differences still remain with the timing and placement of an associated shortwave trough that will rotate through the Middle and Lower Mississippi Valleys. This will continue to be monitored over the next several days in subsequent model runs."

Jackson hasn't metioned next weekend, but is noting the possibility of severe weather on Wednesday.

@Clancy 3 tornadoes since 2011. All ef3 or higher lol. That's not to mention the 2-3 tornadoes just south of me from the 2021 high risk days

I have a DJI Mini 2. My only problem with using it more is because most of our storms end up coming in at night. Too much wind is the other big issue. Other than that, I highly recommend getting one.

I wonder why they didn't include the Ragland tornado which started north of Trussville.

First High Risk for heavy precipitation since early last month. Crazy to see a Moderate Risk for High Winds over a very large swath of the U.S.

Yeah, the wind can go away any time. It's been awful
