Severe Weather 2023

[Lake Martin EF4]

Thank you, but I’m going to keep talk for next week’s potential in this thread. I hope the moderators or Lake Martin EF4 will retitle that thread to dedicate to Wed/Thursday’s threat.

The thread will remain as is. It's titled that way as the implication was that Wednesday into next week would have mostly continuous severe threats.

Agree, because there will be a lot of post-event chatter for the 15-17 timeframe if it turns out a big event. Don't need two events crossing over. The last thing you want to do is have confliting information for anyone trying to get weather information.

Even if next week's system doesn't pan out the way it projected, I still suspect this spring could be nasty in Dixie, especially if we we flip into a Nino... 1932, 1957, 1974, 1998, 2008 and 2020 stick out with the balmy winter like we're currently going through.

It's interesting you bring up 98 because it was a year where the Western Pacific had nothing form in the month of February. Plus the Western Pacific went 212 days until their first typhoon that year. The highest ever going back to 1950. Mississippi had 564 tornadoes that Spring. 1998 had a Modoki (Central Pacific based) La Nina that transitioned to El Nino.

I said the same thing. IF Feb is going to be this active with several events, each event should have its OWN thread. Having a “one thread fits all” events is going to be confusing as hell and breed ambiguity when the you know what hits the fan in the coming weeks. From what I have seen in the past, event/outbreak threads have ended up with PAGES AND PAGES of comments. Multiply that by how many future events there could be for the rest of the month.

We have had a separate thread for each event as long as I have been in this forum and it has worked WELL. IJS

If Feb IS going to be active, the titling of the thread in question will likely cause more confusion than it is worth before the month is over. I have never seen a thread for an entire two weeks before. We have always (from what I have seen) had a separate thread (which can have PAGES AND PAGES of comments) for each event, even if they are close together.

Watch, the title of the thread in question is very likely going to backfire. No shade…. ijs. It would be nice to have a MOD/ADMIN weigh in before these events start.

'98 was super nino transitioning to major Nina.

The day Oak Grove was hit in Alabama. I watched biggest and most perfect formed supercell come over Oktibbeha County near Starkville and head in that direction I don't think it was the same storm, but it was part of the same complex

The bee Oak Grove was hit in Alabama.

Quoting for posterity.

I’m sorry, but how do you pronounce Oktibbeha?

FWIW, Skip Talbot has a bit part in Supercell. Although it stars both Alec Baldwin and Anne Heche, which is a downer on multiple levels.
