Severe WX April 11th-13th, 2020 Severe Weather Threat

From what I can tell by the current positioning of the warm front -- and its movement -- it's getting very close to Northern Tuscaloosa and Jefferson County, and there appears to be adequate time for it to push another 25-50 miles north before those MS supercells move into the area (if they do).

Thoughts? Do any of you see the warm front continuing to surge north? At least to the point that it makes it another 25-50 miles?

Collins, MS needs to cover ASAP!

My family north of Laurel is okay from the first tornado but they heard the tornado pass by.

Looks like the first tornado is hitting Heidelberg almost directly. That's a bit bigger town than Bassfield and Soso.

Yes it should continue northward. That complex is breaking up and is becoming cellular in nature, which will help the LLJ transport the low level airmass northward.

Yes. It appears that northern supercell in Walker and Jefferson county is riding the warm front.

confirmed tornado in northern Jefferson County

Wow! a current dew point of 70 in Bessemer and 72 in Pell City according to the NWS in Birmingham.

Brad Arnold missed the first one by about a mile or so. Rain wrapped so better to be safe than sorry

I'm gonna say it again...I'm not liking the trajectory of these cells in Mississippi...

 

[warneagle]

Two violent tornadoes following almost right behind one another makes me think of Dunlap/Elkhart, IN during the Palm Sunday 1965 outbreak.

Jefferson Co tor is wrapped tight....anyone from the area?

Storms north and west of Jackson, MS seem to becoming more discrete. East and south of Jackson, MS -- they already are discrete, and look to be developing into the string of pearls that was mentioned earlier. It's not a good trend. At all. SPC also seems to think the tornado risk for North Central AL is increasing.

Heavy tree damage near Heidelberg, MS (the first tornado)

Second violent tornado in south Mississippi is about on top of Hot Coffee northwest of Laurel.

Makes the tornado look wider than it actually is. And even more dangerous too!!!

I think the lead tornado dissipated as it reached Pachuta, MS and a new tornado is touching down on the east side of town.
