Trampolines are notorious for going airborne in a stiff breeze. Wrapping one around a pole, however, takes more wind force than that (probably EF1+, if I had to guess, but don't take my word for it).

how did the alabama state bird get up there in bloomington indiana

Image-wise the damage currently isn’t looking too bad as compared to what is being expected based off the radar presentation. Of course, however, the worst won’t be seen till the morning.

Exactly. The SPC made the right play here and it verified extremely well

Max Velocity just shared a video of a flood developing in the Best Buy in Bloomington, IN:

Currently there are no tornado warnings.

I’m glad noted meteorologist GumryWX chimed in and gave his opinion.

Anywho, today is a really good example of how these broad, zonal troughs can spread lift over a large area. Multiple instances of CI (non tornadic as well) today. A day that really hit its ceiling.

Brandon Copic has a spectacular night-vision view of storm structure on his stream:

we may not get any ef2 plus tornadoes rated out of today, which is good

Meanwhile, down in Western Tennessee, there’s a storm that’s now under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning (with a Tornado Possible tag, to boot):

Yeah, not sure what he's on claiming this wasn't an ENH tornado day. To me anyway, this seems like a classic type of day and setup for a small Enhanced risk. Localized area of conditional risk for significant severe convection.

Yup

Could definitely have some strong winds and maybe hail from these storms forming on the southern edge of this system in Tennessee southward. Will move eastward through the night and could still be going tomorrow morning.

Now that there are no Tornado or Severe Thunderstorm Warnings on the board right now, I'm going to call it a night. In the meantime, may the rest of the night continue to wind down without any problems!

This is the thing. Chasers have 10# in their minds as "SEVERAL significant tornadoes, photogenic, long track!"

That was never on the cards. One or two sigtors minium. What did we get? We got that. This was a perfect 10# whilst I was skeptical of it, SPC had enough confidence to go for it. I personally wouldn't have. But in the end, the sigtor threat verified. I don't know what the complaints are. One minute, it's about tornado warnings in a QLCS, then the other, oh, did the SPC really verify this 10#?

The whole lot of them over there really need to shut up LOL

A little severe risk does exist tmrw in the Carolinas. I will extend the thread to account for this in case we end up getting a few tornado warnings! Things have uptrended with the 20th, albeit still low end. A isolated tornado threat is possible.
