Severe WX April 25-27, 2023 (Southern States)

Very surprised given its reflectivity signature, that monster sup didn't put down a long-track EF3+ wedge. Must not have been able to anchor to the boundary quite right. Very fortunate for Waco, though.

Update on the bull: owner says he's ok, per this Tweet

Must be a relief to know your fellow bovine fared okay

Watching local news and already a risk of severe weather tomorrow
Yesterday, tons of rain tempered the threat for north half of DFW.

Experimental RRFS model simulating a Gorilla hailer on the Lafayette/Pontotoc county line in Mississippi this evening.

Did someone say Gorilla

Storm that procured the water spout/tornado in PCB still looking healthy and trucking out in front of the main line. Will track through rural areas of town the panhandle and maybe South Georgia if it can stay ahead of the line

Yet another 30% hatched hail-driven ENH for the DFW metro tomorrow. Might want to update the thread title to include it.

What do we have here? A sneaky PDS TOR sounding barely outside of the SPC's D2 ENH area? THERE YOU ARE!

I’m sorry, what in the intense tornado is this going on in the FL panhandle?!

And this is exactly what I was afraid of - well, it is April 27 after all…

May have impacted the community of Hosford, FL. There’s a SW/NE string of homes along that route.

 

[TH2002]

Latest warning downgraded from PDS to just confirmed, and the debris signature has indeed weakened. Still on the ground though.

 

[TH2002]

This thing has been on the ground for nearly 20 minutes. Props to the SPC for picking up on the localized tornado threat in the FL panhandle today and props to you, @Wind Driven Coconut for bringing this to our attention. Would have slipped right past me otherwise.

Thanks @TH2002. Got a kid at FSU so was watching a little more closely today since I know she would not be. Not often we in FL get in on the action like this. Unfortunately, using the Google Maps approach to determining tornado path, Hosford likely took a hit.

Like many parts of Florida, lots of not-so well constructed mobile and manufactured homes there. This could get bad...

Yet another tight warned couplet that needs to be watched, this one in Gulf County

 

[Equus]

Notable TDS with that now, several impressive tornadoes ongoing today

 

[TH2002]

Aaand there it is

 

[Wind Driven Coconut]

Much more rural area thankfully but looks like that one is producing as well.
