Severe WX March 30th- April 1st 2023 (South, Southeast, Ohio Valley, Upper Midwest)

[StormStalker]

Wind is really cranking here now. Tennessee is lighting up with warnings. Also see a couple back in Mississippi.

 

[ColdFront]

If I had a dollar for every time I heard “New Informatiom, this tornado warning has been upgraded..” today….

 

[WeatherLurker]

I bet y'all are busy studying radars.... wondering if anyone saw my questions from earlier.

 

[TH2002]

I understand. Didn't mean to imply that. It is getting nuts. I just hope we can avoid another Monroe County, MS disaster and get by unscathed.

I'm tired of all this too. Forgive me for saying that. It's just been a difficult last few days.

TalkWeather is a family. We're all in this together...

 

[TornadoFan]

Yikes at that Camden, TN storm.

 

[DetectiveWX]

Tired from all the watching, but this reminds me of Veteran's Day 2002 and Nov 1992 further west in terms of breadth of states it has covered.

 

[Austin Dawg]

I didn't mean any offense. It's just all the tornado warnings is getting nuts.

That's what I thought you meant. I never took offense if we're gonna have an increase in activity it's going to be across northern Mississippi, because the SPC thinks that it might.

 

[Taylor Campbell]

Um, why are they not warning for the Bruceton, TN circulation? I thought maybe the warning text would mention that area as well, but it does not.

 

[Equus]

Still so much tornado spam out there I can't keep track of it, total sensory overload day

 

[SilentShadow87]

Aaand we have another PDS warning for the Benton/Carroll/Henry County storm.

 

[UK_EF4]

Those two tornadic supercells are taking almost exactly the same path. Both probably in the strong range as well. The scale of this outbreak is truly crazy.

From BMX...

Finally starting to see some additional development south of
Memphis along the Mississippi River. There are still a few
supercells evident on local radars in Tennessee. Model depictions
overnight continue indicating a mix of supercell and QLCS
potential as it enters the northwest after midnight. SBCAPE
values are still forecasted to improve over Central Alabama in the
next 2-4 hours. Upper level westerly winds will increase, low
level jet winds will increase, Theta-e advection improves, SRh
values off local radars north are around 500 and Bulk Shear is
still high enough for organized severe. The best lift remains just
north of the area overnight. Therefore, the risk areas will not be
changed as the best potential for severe weather remains along and
north of I-20 overnight. It appears there will be a good chance of
at least a few supercells near the area. The timing has been
slower the past 6 hours, and will back up the timing once again.
Not mentioned anything until after midnight northwest. The focus
for the storms moves rather slow across the state and this leaves
a small potential for severe storms south into Saturday. Surface
based winds will also increase overnight outside of the storms.
These gusts may reach 40 mph at times. May have do expand the
timing on these gusts northwest farther into the night.

Brad Arnold is talking with survivors near Sullivan, one reports "cars thrown everywhere".

 

[UK_EF4]

Tornado getting ready to produce SW of Cannelton, KY

 

[UK_EF4]

Those two cells in NW MS might produce strong/intense tornadoes soon.

 

[Brick Tamland]

Crazy day and it's been a bad start to severe season with today and the MS tornado a few days ago. Of course it feels like severe season is year round in the SE now.

 

[atrainguy]

Such a huge event, tornado watch all the way from Michigan to the Gulf Coast, and tornado warnings from NW Ohio to the Mississippi Delta.

 

[TornadoFan]

Storm SE of Memphis trying to wrap up. There's been an increase in lightning activity.

The CC drops and velocity couplets are neverending
