Severe WX April 4th-6th, 2022 Severe Weather Threat

Yeah those S GA isolated cells bear watching, we've had too many nocturnal deadly surprises lately. Not a super strong LLJ but surface winds are slightly backed through here making the wind profile sufficient for them to cause some trouble

Thomasville is under a TOR again.

 

Looks like Allendale South Carolina tornado has been rated EF3 prelim. That brings the total to 3, potentially more, EF3+ tornadoes from the latest outbreak.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given the radar signature that thing had, but once again, I haven’t seen any clear-cut EF3 structural damage from Allendale. So either the rating is based on more subtle DIs, or photos of the most intense damage never made it to social media. Same deal with the Bonaire, GA EF3 I assume.

One of the more impressive damage photos I've seen from Allendale County

Haven't seen many damage pics from this whole event overall except in Pembroke, guess we'll see what they put up on the survey DAT
 
Ulmer, SC tornado has been rated EF3. Very little damage info or photos from that area, and I'm curious to see what they found. Once again, a little surprised, but shouldn't be based on the violent looking radar signature.

I am not going to say it is but are they possibly suspecting that the Pembroke tornado was an EF5?
 


Tweet from NWS Charleston mentioning EF4 is a possibility. Given some of the photos I would not be surprised at all if we ended up with a low-mid EF4 damage rating. They definitely do seem to be taking the proper time necessary to finalise the rating which is nice, though I would expect the final rating to probably come out by tonight?
 
Be nice if there were some specific details on the DAT but they are probably pretty overwhelmed right now so it'll probably take a while to get things posted
 
Bonaire, GA rated 160 - that is rather high end for what's essentially a brief QLCS segment tornado. High tension transmission towers downed and multiple homes completely destroyed. FFC says 20+ tornadoes to survey in their CWA, and then we got the three EF3+s in CHS. What an event

Yes, models and historical references indicated it would be one of the more likely so far this year to spin up stronger and longer lived tornadoes because of storm organization and the synoptic setup; this truly represented by the outcome.
