Anyone remember the freak tornado from the 20kft rotating rain shower a couple of days ago? An NWS Jackson met put out this thread which explains the synoptics of the event and how he reacted to it while issuing warnings at the office.

Oh wow! I didn't realize he had such a big role here.Cool stuff!
Daniel is not only "An NWS Jackson met" but he is also the former owner of Talkweather!
Excellent thread. I especially got a kick out of the part where Daniel mentioned JAN received a tweet from someone watching on GRlevel3 who wondered why they hadn't warned the storm.
Many of us have been guilty of questioning NWS warnings (sometimes rightly sometimes not), and it's important to remember the huge amount of experience, education, and training they have. Armchair wx buffs, like i myself am, can't touch that level of experience, education, and training. Sure, certain WFOs have a reputation for being slow to warn, but overall in the Southeast we're blessed to have top-notch WFOs like JAN/BMX.
Plus, we have zero visibility into what their workload is like or how many things (or storms) they're juggling at one time. The NWS isn't perfect, Daniel himself readily admitted that, but their batting average overall is simply stellar. I thought Daniel's thread was a very interesting glimpse into the warning process and it incorporated many of the factors I mentioned above.
That "no" ended up being an EF2 tornado. Probably the most unprofessional behavior I have ever seen from a WFO. I hope they learned their lesson, and received some much needed ego reduction.Way better response than the dickish "No." from DDC.
In a field like meteorology where mistakes are inevitable, humility is really an essential trait (as it is in any science). It was such a bad look for them to be that dismissive because sometimes it turns out they're wrong.That "no" ended up being an EF2 tornado. Probably the most unprofessional behavior I have ever seen from a WFO. I hope they learned their lesson, and received some much needed ego reduction.
Because it’s not looking nearly as active as the last 2 weeks of March. Split flow and high AAM means we’ll probably continue seeing these cut offs. Doesn’t preclude any threat but it’s not looking nearly as active for the foreseeable future.As we are now heading into prime time severe weather season for the south ... it sure is awful quiet in this thread .
Not really much to talk about. I guess there could be some active weather over Arkansas towards Mississippi Wednesday. Maybe some more storms Thursday but nothing compared to what we’ve experienced the past couple weeks. GFS has been showing a storm with a good Low placement for the south around the 15th but it’s been inconsistent run over run.As we are now heading into prime time severe weather season for the south ... it sure is awful quiet in this thread .
