[warneagle]

Tornado warned storm just to the west of Tallahassee

If that circulation doesn't hit the KLTH radar, it'll be dang close!

If that circulation doesn't hit the KLTH radar, it'll be dang close!

Looks like it is on top of it

 

[MattW]

Yep, it's entered the "hole" right around the radar. Last scan showed the circulation as only 97ft above ground. Also there's a low correlation coefficient, that thing is on the ground.

Confirmed tornado

Warning says radar confirmed

 

[MattW]

Dang, it looks like the airport may have taken a direct hit.

 

[MattW]

And...it looks like the radar went offline.

 

[warneagle]

NWS said the radar is down, according to WTXL.

 

[MattW]

KVAX radar can see the circulation fortunately.

 

[MichelleH]

Spann just posted it has a debris signature. SPC put out a MSD 43 minutes ago, with watch unlikely. No tornado watch and under a marginal risk down there.

 

[Richardjacks]

Oh great, another over-achiever.

 

[South AL Wx]

Warning update says that damage has been reported near the TLH airport and across Southwood.

 

[warneagle]

The Tallahassee airport is (unsurprisingly) closed now

 

[warneagle]

Still an observed tornado according to NWS

 

[South AL Wx]

The radar was not damaged according to TAE:

Oh great, another over-achiever.

And unlike last cool season leading up to the big spring action, these are all cellular or semi-cellular instead of QLCS tornadoes.

 

[andyhb]

New tornado looking possible near Live Oak, FL right on I-10.

 

[MattW]

Man, if this thing keeps it up, it's headed straight for Jacksonville. Looks like about 2.5-3 hours out.
