Severe WX April 19-20, 2020 Severe Weather Threat

[Richardjacks]

Oh my! Tds

 

[Equus]

All it takes is one, aaand here's our one

 

[buckeye05]

Ok, that is on the ground now

 

[brianc33710]

The weather feels like early March in Bham, not latter April. Has the warm made any more northward progress? It's between Evergreen & Selma per hourly obs. We're 58 & getting rain & thunder in Bham & I doubt we get much more.

 

[buckeye05]

Here we go

 

[Equus]

Deep debris ball now to go with CC sig. Very strong tornado in progress

 

[buckeye05]

Completely rain-wrapped. Can't see a thing on the live stream.

 

[Richardjacks]

Deep debris ball now to go with CC sig. Very strong tornado in progress

Yep, that is a strong one for sure...

 

[Richardjacks]

Uh oh. Debris ball and TDS.

The debris ball isn't as clear now

 

[TornadoFan]

That ramped up quickly.

 

[Equus]

Might drop a series of tornadoes instead of one long tracker since it keeps getting interrupted by cell mergers, but concerned for Purvis

Yep, the mode is a bit messy

Yep, looks like it's around Greenville, so still a fair distance from Montgomery.

Shouldn't there still be enough daylight there to see the storm? TWC shows everything pitch black there.

 

[Richardjacks]

The warm front can't move with the rain coold air to the north, so that air is heavier than the warm moist air, whicj is forced on top of the cooler air, thatbrising motion is causing it to rain, which keeps the air cooler....so hence keeping the warm front in place.

Sunset there is right now, and remember, there are tall storms to the west, which are probably blocking out any crepuscular light that's left.

 

[TornadoFan]

Still on the ground as of 7:32

 

[TornadoFan]

TDS up to 20,000 feet.

 

[buckeye05]

Extremely HP storm mode. It's possible, but I would be surprised if it held together all the way to Purvis.
