Severe WX March 29-30, 2022 Severe Event

[buckeye05]

Geiger, AL was hit by an EF3 wedge during the April 14-16, 2011 outbreak. Multiple little towns are getting unlucky tonight.

 

[buckeye05]

Decent looking rotation just barely east of Meridian and almost on top of I-20/59.

That one had a subtle TDS earlier.

 

[172556]

BMX going to warn on the Meridian storm?

Edit: There it is.

 

[MattPetrulli]

Co-located with a TDS seems like a significant tornado is going into Toomsuba, MS

 

[kcyalater]

this is going to be an absolutely maddening game of whack a mole

 

[Jetstream]

PDS tornado warning for Lauderdale MS

 

[MattPetrulli]

Afraid the cell heading towards Leakesville is about to drop a significant tornado

 

[BayouWeatherGeek]

Everyone in Pearlington needs to take cover now!

 

[Tennie]

Looks like at least one discrete cell has managed to get something going:

[Equus]

That prefrontal is definitely very bad news, intense tornado potential with that; probably a good thing the 15% hatch was pulled to the east

 

[BayouWeatherGeek]

It's gonna be a long night ☹

 

[Tennie]

Waynesboro, MS, looks to be coming under the gun.

Power lines down in Big Branch, LA

...Southeast through 12Z Thursday...
A mature QLCS is poised to track across far southeast MS into
central and southern AL and the western half of the FL Panhandle
this evening into the rest of tonight. The Gulf Coastal area is
beneath the entrance region of the strong southerly low-level jet
and exit region of both the westerly 500 and 300 mb jet streaks,
which are contributing to long, curved hodographs and 400+ m2/s2 of
0-1km SRH. Near 70F surface dewpoints are located along the Gulf
Coast, and this richer moisture is expected to advect northward
towards central AL through the night, contributing to modest
buoyancy (i.e. up to 1000 J/kg MLCAPE). As such, damaging gust and
tornado potential is expected to continue across central and
southern AL into the western FL Panhandle through the night. There
are still some indications by the latest high-resolution guidance
that portions of the QLCS may break down into a semi-discrete,
cellular mode. If this occurs, supercell structures may develop and
support a heightened threat of strong tornadoes given the magnitude
of low-level shear available.

From SPC's 01Z outlook. About what we expected based on model output.

Strong rotation on the Clarke County storm.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Yikes that cell approaching Leaf/Leakesville, MS is on the cusp of doing something nasty.

 

[NorthGaWeather]

Low level meso near Aliceville tightened up.

 

[Clancy]

SPC issued an MD about the discrete activity.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Looks like two circulations here, just north of the other one I mentioned.
