Severe threat Wednesday February 12, 2025

Reports of damage are coming out of the Columbia tornado. A number of homes and buildings reportedly have varying degrees of damage. We'll have to wait for visual evidence to start coming out to see just how bad things actually got--personally, I'm hoping it's not actually too bad and there are few to no casualties (knock on wood).

Likely cause for the uptick in activity: intensifying SRH, with increasingly favorable, curved hodographs. Many of the warned storms are riding instability boundaries, and are producing strong mesos despite poor overall lapse rates.
