5/5-5-6 2026 severe threat

[UncleJuJu98]

Tornado is going due east straight for downtown Monticello

As Mike Morgan used to say. Get underground or get out of the way. Unfortunately probably too late for the ladder considering the 50 mph forward speed.

Completely rain wrapped in Dixie at night? Good way to end up somewhere not nice, trying to drive away from one. He got hammered in 13 for saying that and almost causing a disaster after El Reno too.

Looks like it’s starting to weaken? Hopefully it fully dissipates before getting to Monticello.

There are a lot of chasers that have made boneheaded decisions tonight. It's a miracle we've gone so long without a chaser death.

Too many people playing chicken with a TORE.

Velocity weaker on latest scan. May be about to occlude.

 

[Ozonelayer]

Hopefully it occludes and dies before it hits town.

On another note, there is a fairly solid chance it does what it did earlier and clears out its inflow and puts down yet another monster once it occludes

 

[warneagle]

the rotation on the eastern storm that's about to cross into alabama has mostly fallen apart, at least for the moment. had some destructive mergers there.

 

[buckeye05]

Tornado is now lifting and dissipating

There's a lot of people who underestimate the dangers of Dixie chasing, unfortunately.

Never underestimate isolated cells. This thing has nothing near it other than showers to create nudgers and mergers.

A little worried that we are seeing something like Grinell where it looks like it lifted sooner than it did.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

It's just going to recycle and produce another one I think look at the incoming inflow

 

[RFD66]

Hate to say it, but this board has become terrible in performance with posting any images and in such a night as this tonight.

 

[cyelle21]

I live in Dallas County, AL near Selma. So, is the severe weather going to get worse before it gets better? From what I have read, the severe weather is supposed to last until midnight.

 

[JPWX]

Looking at velocity on the Monticello, it looks as if you have two tornadic signatures right next to each other

Yea, gotta remember we’re looking well over a 1000ft into the mesocyclone, the tornado could still very well be strong near the surface.

That’s not the norm and there no reason to assume that

 

[Clancy]

There's so much debris it's hard to tell for sure if it's off the ground, but I'll take the visible weakening over it not weakening at all.

I can count the number of times I have seen that happen on one hand. That radar signature signifies dissipation 90% of the time.
