Severe WX Severe Weather Threat 3/14-3/16

[AJS]

Alabama cell still looks worrying. Couplet is beginning to tighten up a bit and a slight TDS remains.

 

[MichelleH]

Tornado warning southern/eastern Walker County, Alabama.

 

[TH2002]

New TORR in AL includes Cordova and Sipsey - the supercell seems to be following a very similar path to another storm that occurred on a certain date in 2011.

 

[Blountwolf]

Showing my age with the old school nexrad shot, but no doubt where that one is.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

SPC Hourly Mesoscale Analysis

It's showing 1000-2000 CAPE in Northern Alabama... Also looks like there's a gap where most of the supercells are right now

 

[Bulkshear]

Middle TN Tornado warning, radar indicated. Rutherford, Cannon, Warren and Dekalb counties heads up

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Things are looking really bad. I hope everyone here is ok. They say its being caused by a cross country storm so it could be part of the same system that brought the cold weather and heavy rain to California. How bad is this outbreak compared to other ones in the past?

Out of curiosity, what website/program are you using to get those kinds of screenshots?

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Fayette storm has had a remarkable increase in lightning

Was looking at that one, wondering if it's gunna wrap up

 

[Clancy]

Both mesoscale and model data suggest that the highest threat in the coming hours will be across west-central, southern and then central Alabama from these clusters of storms and confluence bands in MS. Most dangerous storms will likely originate there and propogate northeastward. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the activity, including the AL cell now, puts down some boundaries.

 

[OHWX97]

A likely tornado impacted Madisonville, LA moments ago.

I love the old school display. Much easier to pinpoint for me.

so no OWS development

 

[Clancy]

Extreme velocity signature. Gorgas in the path.

 

[Maxis_s]

NROT exceeding 3. That is one impressive velocity couplet.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Tuscaloosa cell is nuts right now. Loop of the rapid strengthing

 

[AJS]

Tuscaloosa cell is nuts right now

A bunch of towns in the path too.

 

[Clancy]

so no OWS development

No. WS development will be focused along a corridor starting in SW and W-Central AL and then spread northeast.

 

[Jason Mills]

TDS on the Walker CO storm.

 

[TornadoFan]

Well that's a yikes.
