Severe Weather Threat May 20-21, 2025

Clancy said:
Despite waning upper-level support, sufficient SRH persists in the low levels, and is in fact expanding eastward. Instability also continues to stick around. Likely will fuel these storms for some time.

Velo spike in Rome on last scan - that couplet has me concerned. Could track to South Cherokee/North Cobb.
 
Large SVR issued for much of the northwest metro.
Edit: SVR amended to include TOR possible tag.

Honestly, I think this intercept scared him quite a bit. Later in the stream, he said he thought they were going to get lofted when they got hit and the vehicle started moving. He was more scared than some of the others in the vehicle. They didn’t really have time to deploy because they were still positioning for probe launch, which it sounds like was successful.

It was an incredibly intense vortex that hit them that blew up within a matter of seconds, like violent tornado intensity. That thing stayed violent for a minute or two.

Hopefully they got some good data out of it. Does anyone know what those small probes measure? Is it pressure?

One of about 5 times in the last year I thought he was about to live stream his own death. I know these guys and other chasers are pros but it’s only a matter of time before that happens. I thought Brett Adair was a goner the other night in Kansas at one point.
 
Aside from the Ragland storm, I'm not a fan of this circulation approaching the AL/GA border.

Meso handoff seems to have occurred over Ragland, with a small, well-defined circulation now visible.
