5/5-5-6 2026 severe threat

[Tennie]

the couplet just east of possum corner MS is incredibly violent

This storm looks to be the storm of the day, or at least seems to be trying quite hard to become so.

Ridiculous BWER, Jesus.

 

[Brice W]

That’s a massive BWER on the MS storm, intense tornado ongoing.

It’s pushing up towards tornado emergency criteria. If that velocity couplet maintains for a few more scans, we may get one for Bude, MS.

big time tower going up SW of eutaw AL. cell has consolidated and is now stacking a meso. going to be a big problem south of tuscaloosa

The radar scan time is insanely slow tbh, not good for a day like this.

Yea, the KHDC radar updates every 10 minutes, an absolute joke considering it’s 2026. But oh well.

Debris ball on radar

 

[UpperLevelLOL]

Man that storm is nasty on every radar type - reflectivity, CC and velocity. And it’s got nothing around it to choke it off.

 

[jiharris0220]

Intense EF3+ tornado ongoing.

Slightly off topic given the TOG, but if this set up doesn't produces several tornadoes in the next few hours it'll be the most 2026 outcome ever. Multiple kidney beans with plenty of breathing room.

 

[SmokeEater]

Debris to 12,000 feet.

GR2's NROT product is showing readings above 2.00. This is one strong rotation!

I recall from the previous severe event thread that the day can be approximated based on the behavior of the first storm. We may have a long day ahead.

 

[Brice W]

That CC is very very tight, this is definitely at an EF3+ tornado ongoing.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

Another very strong and tight velocity couplet just to the East.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

We are just getting started guys this threat is going to last into the night. Makes my stomach drop seeing the tds in Mississippi. Reminds me of the rolling fork velocity couplet

 

[Kds86z]

Debris 15,000 feet .

 

[SmokeEater]

Debris to 15,000 feet now, Jesus. This should go TE shortly unless something changes.

 

[Brice W]

On a collision course for Bude. Might wanna go TE.

 

[Ozonelayer]

Yeah thats a violent tornado in MS right now. Could go TOR-E.
