Severe WX March 29-30, 2022 Severe Event

[buckeye05]

Poplarville, MS, might need a tornado warning REALLY soon!

Looks really nasty of reflectivity but there isn't quite enough on velocity yet for a tornado warning. That could change at any minute though.

 

[buckeye05]

Southern embedded supercell has tightened up again. Tornadic waterspout headed right towards Mandeville, LA

 

[Tennie]

GWX is a tornado magnet, gets hit nearly every event; flanked by two tornadoes in the same storm less than a mile from the radar site on 4/13/19 even

I think the tornadoes like saying "hi" to that particular radar for whatever reason(s).

 

[buckeye05]

Poplarville cell now appears to be producing a tornado. Tiny but intense couplet.

 

[MikeP]

Why is there so much precip ahead of the strongest part of the line.

 

[warneagle]

confirmed tornado near Gattman, MS. that'll be crossing into Alabama in a few minutes.

 

[buckeye05]

Take with a grain of salt, but tornado reported on the ground approaching Hattiesburg per police scanner.

 

[warneagle]

if the Gattman tornado didn't kit KGWX it had to have come very close. it's so close to the radar you can't even see the couplet.

 

[buckeye05]

Hattiesburg circulation appears to have broadened out again.

 

[Tennie]

Confirmed TOR for Lacombe, LA!

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Confirmed TOR for Lacombe, LA!

HRRR was very consistent that the New Orleans area would be a trouble spot again today. Fortunately, this one has stayed over water for about as long as it possibly could, but now luck has run out.

Yet another one super close to a radar site...

 

[buckeye05]

I think that TDS is in the same spot as the Mandeville EF1 tornado from the last outbreak. Talk about bad luck.

 

[Tennie]

There's also another circulation/potential waterspout just south of that one that looks to be coming ashore within the next few minutes.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Is that an expanding TDS just west of the LIX site, or radar noise? Hard to say if it's moving with the storm or not the last 3 scans.

Cell near Poplarville, MS is looking at least semi-discrete and is going into untaped area that's gonna be quite favorable for siggys. Assuming WAA doesn't impede inflow/organization, that could be the big cell to watch.

 

[Austin Dawg]

GWX is a tornado magnet, gets hit nearly every event; flanked by two tornadoes in the same storm less than a mile from the radar site on 4/13/19 even

It has had several near misses and some hits by extremely bad storms. That fateful day on April 27 there were more than one very close misses from either a tornado and tornado warned storms

 

[CheeselandSkies]

There's also another circulation/potential waterspout just south of that one that looks to be coming ashore within the next few minutes.

Good eye, little hook about to come onshore very near Slidell.

With as much low-level detail as we're getting this close to the radar, I wonder if that could be an anticyclonic circulation on the southern end of the other one's RFD gust front?

 

[buckeye05]

Damage being reported in Roseland, LA. Couplet and small TDS passed over that town earlier.

"TREES DOWN A MOBILE HOME ... ROOF RIPPED OFF ... AND TREES DOWN IN AREA. *POSSIBLE TORNADO DAMAGE*. (LIX)"

New Orleans area cell heading into that environment, as well.

 

[warneagle]

The CAMs were hinting at the potential for semi-discrete convection around this time south of I-20...
