Severe WX Severe Threat 17-18 March 2021

That cell south of Jackson Miss is getting that look to it

Really classic structure on that cell.

 

[MikeP]

That hook....

 

[OHWX97]

Yikes!

 

[Keldeo]

Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. The higher end parameters are not even here yet and we already have Tornadic super cells.

 

[WhirlingWx]

Pop a couple of those in the warm sector basically 24 hours from now and you'd get long-tracking sigtors...

 

[WxSnowFan47]

Live stream of coverage from Jackson, MS.

 

[Jpgood97]

Have to see if that Kosciusko cell starts to ramp up. Lightening picking up within both cells

 

[Casie]

TVS of 6 on that MS storm now!

 

[TornadoFan]

No denying “the look”

Que Roxette's "The Look"

 

[Casie]

And just like that it broadened out, it's going to be a long 36 hours, lol.

 

[Justin Hindman]

Broad rotation though. If that hook swings around it could produce

Spotter reported golf ball size hail near Hazelnut.

 

[TornadoFan]

It's getting that look again.

 

[Equus]

We've had random supercells wandering across AL/MS/LA for like 30 hours now, kind of an ominous prelude of what's to come tomorrow.

 

[Casie]

It's getting that look again.

TVS of 6 back again too and tops at 13,500. It was up to 19,500 when it went through Hazelhurst so definitely hitting the weights again.

 

[MadisonDawg]

I'm an OG as well. Circa 2000 I believe. I remember when @Justin Hindman was indeed 13!!!

Yes, I do too now. Have a TalkWeather reunion here.

 

[Equus]

Jackson wind profile. Reasonable curvature in there, not very strong but definitely enough speed shear to keep it going

 

[TornadoFan]

That 90 contour is huge. Wow.

 

[Richardjacks]

This whole wedge thing is a bit weird. Normally you would need high pressure on the east coast pushing dry air down the east side of the Appalachians into northern GA and eastern Alabama, but here we have actually a low on the east coast and wedge keeps pushing west. Even the hrrr is showing the wedge strengthening. This is now showing quite the warm front in B'ham metro area...all while Tds are building just south of Bham. Hopefully a cell doesn't ride the warm front into Bham, but I could see that being a problem early in the afternoon.

You can get an idea on where the warm front is, just by those contours....
