Severe Threat May 15-16, 2025

[Brice W]

Gonna be a close call for London. But it looks to be going just south of the city. But still gonna be impactful.

 

[AJS]

The CC drop keeps getting deeper and the velocity keeps getting stronger. This is gonna be bad.

Oh my god.

 

[kcyalater]

that horizontal kink though. absolute menace of a tornado.

It looks like it’ll go south of downtown, but it looks like it’ll unfortunately still hit quite a lot.

 

[AJS]

It’s Eastern Kentucky’s Mayfield.

 

[Brice W]

I fear we maybe looking at an upper echelon tornado. In Kentucky. At night. Again.

Ok, this is probably the most violent tornado so far. If your are south of London and north of Corbin, get under ground NOW.

It actually took more of a turn toward downtown. Similar to Mayfield.

 

[AJS]

Absolutely need a tornado emergency on this storm. This is aiming directly for the city of London.

HUGE debris ball on reflectivity... Not much to add that hasn't already been said, but truly could end up being the "storm of the day"

Just looked up population. 8k

It already is at this point.

 

[Schoeppeya]

There’s no way to avoid significant development the way it’s moving, needs to weaken fast to miss doing serious damage

 

[AJS]

Oh. My. God.

 

[Brice W]

The windfield is huge and that inflow notch is cut down deep into the storm.

One of the last scans I saw ~70 kt Vrot about 70 miles from JKL on that KY supercell. Absolutely a violent candidate coupled with debris height.

I've been worried about that storm all night. I've got this odd feeling of relief but also being very sick about it. These are some populated areas. Hell, I love Somerset and the Cumberland area.
