Cell S of Junction City, GA is looking pretty healthy.

Dang, sorry to hear that. Glad you're still here.

The January 2012 one knocked some trees and killed a young girl down the street. Then the one two years ago January 2021 maybe February can't remember lifted before hitting my road. Very remarkable at how similar the tracks where.

Still only two tornado LSRs on today's page, one of which is the IL "bird fart." Nothing for that blatant TDS that was northwest of Wetumpka early this afternoon, not even a report of "wind damage."

@Clancy April 27th ef4 also came though a similar path but I don't remember that one all in a 10 year span

In pheonix city Alabama, near Columbus Georgia. Not much shear at all down here which is keeping the storms from dropping

Hey neighbor! Lol

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Decent rotation with one of the storms in Mississippi

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Reflectivity debris ball or ?...

Meanwhile, in Illinois.

Meanwhile, in Illinois.

Out of season marginal risk days always have a way of making me regret not chasing them.

I chased several 5% tornado probability days in Illinois last spring and they produced nothing close to this.

 

[TornadoFan]

Multiple tornado warnings in IL now.

NWS Peachtree is failing to warn for tornadoes in a timely manner, like usual. Even when a CC drop is headed right at them. Why are they so bad at this?

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Looks like they tried to squeeze two rotating cells into one warning polygon, but the text only refers to the southwestern one.

 

[buckeye05]

Actually looking at the radar loop, I think Newnan got hit. Stellar job you’re doing FFC….

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Subtle TDS with the northeastern of the two cells. Won't attach.

Edit: Now I'm not sure, doesn't really show from KEOX.

Meanwhile along the Mississippi River:

Because their job is not as easy as you seem to think it is. Especially on days like today. Spann made a comment about how difficult a warning coordinator’s job is and actually challenged to do the job themselves (lol). Can we refrain from criticizing a job we have no experience or degrees in :/

 

[UncleJuJu98]

A lot of tornado/ wind damage trickling in through the afternoon. Might be a tornado outbreak of spins ups lol.

 

[Clancy]

Severe Thunderstorm Watch now for those storms forming back in MS.

WW 10 just issued for MS. Here is round 2!
