Severe WX Severe Weather Threat Jan 12th, 2023

VB below 3km is helping cause fast cycles, which is preventing more long track mesos right now. that being said, we've definitely got a significant event underway.

Watch the areas where winds are more backed on mesoanalysis. That's where your stronger tors will be.

Wow, was surely not expecting more impressive tornadic supercells in AL today than with either 1/2 or 12/14/22. Neither was SPC with them just having a 2% on both Day 2 outlooks issued yesterday. They were explicitly calling for a predominantly QLCS wind event for today.

I'm watching that storm near Brent. That supercell has a lot of potential, as it's more discrete than the others and is also heading into an area with slightly more backed SFC winds than the rest of the storms, as can be seen below in my crappy drawing.

and now 125+. this thing is nuts. no TDS yet

The one southwest is just as bad

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Good gosh

 

[kcyalater]

[UncleJuJu98]

TDS on it now!
