Tor reportedly on the ground in Ms (Clarke and Jasper Co) south and west of MS
That was just some crazy, rogue discreet cell....Round two?
My temps bounced back to the 60's....I've only seen the map I posted....I'm going to read some blogs...Wondering if today will bring any severe weather to the North Alabama area. Doesn't look too impressive outside. Overcast and foggy attm.
Thanks Lori. 61F up here in Huntsville too. Do you recall me from years back?My temps bounced back to the 60's....I've only seen the map I posted....I'm going to read some blogs...
New Orleans tornado was upgraded to an EF3. First ever in recorded tornado history.
First EF3 on record in the city of New Orleans.You mean the first for the city of New Orleans or the first EF3 in February???
.DISCUSSION...
A low stratus deck remains in place across much of the forecast
area this morning, but there is quite a bit of clearing developing
over southwest Alabama and Mississippi. Dew points are already in
the low 60s. Southwesterly low- level flow should help the
stratus deck to continue to gradually erode. Most areas should
remain dry/capped during the day today with only a small chance of
an isolated shower. Late this afternoon and early this evening,
models indicate a broken line of showers and thunderstorms
developing along the cold front to our northwest as height falls
and lift associated with a shortwave overspread the region. CAMs
indicate some embedded supercells/updraft helicity with this
activity as well. In addition, a 100 kt northwesterly mid- level
jet streak will move in indicating some fairly impressive
dynamics.
Winds at the surface will be southwesterly with some slight
backing to SSW possible in the surface pressure trough. Decent
low-level veering/turning will be present, though, from southwest
winds at low-levels to northwest flow at mid- levels. This results
in decent 0-1 km shear and around 200 m2/s2 of helicity and curved
low-level hodographs. Therefore, have added in a low confidence
mention of an isolated brief tornado or two being possible along
with damaging winds and hail. The southern extent of the threat is
uncertain as upper- level forcing will decrease to the south, but
dew points will be a bit higher down there (mid 60s), and most
models indicate some precipitation. Therefore we have expanded the
limited threat to cover the whole area. Overall this is a low-end
/low-confidence severe threat, but these northwest flow events do
have the tendency to over-perform at times.
Does anyone else have issues with the FFC radar not updating on RadarScope?

The KFFC radar is running a burn-in test phase and is not operational. External
communications from the radar are not available during this phase. NWS, FAA and
DoD users will have access to the data while in this phase but there may be erro
rs or bad data at times. The radar will also continue to run in VCP21 only. This
burn-in phase will continue until at least tomorrow afternoon.
