Severe Weather 2023

That warning was a glitch wasn’t it? It never showed on RadarScope, the Jackson home page never showed it, the BMX home page showed tornado warning in the legend, but didn’t on the map. I looked at the radar and didn’t see anything that indicated tornado. SPC doesn’t show a report.

I saw the warning on Radarscope and the text of the warning said it was a confirmed tornado. Don't know.
 
I messaged my friend and WCBI Meteorologist Dylan Hudler to ask him about it. He said that, at the time I messaged him, that he had received no reports of damage nor pics/video footage. My guess is it dropped down and quickly went back up. I just hope it wasn't a false report.
 
Of course, it would have been hard to tell if it had a CC drop or good rotation at the time due to KGWX being down
 
Which part of Monroe County? I'm over here fighting 103° weather and there's a tornado warning back at Mom's,... Nuts!!
Southwest part (west of Aberdeen)

That, or the warning being based on a misreport is a possibility (e.g. someone may have mistaken scud for a tornado) but I'm more inclined to say it was a very brief spinup.

I’m more inclined to believe it was a mistaken scud.

This has been one intense storm moving through Kansas. I've attached my warning color table.

It's interesting. I recall 1994 being brought up a lot as a possible analog to this year (for both severe weather and Atlantic tropical cyclones) due to the El Nino. That likewise featured a much below average "peak" severe weather season for May and early June; but then had anomalously high levels of activity develop and continue well into the summer in places where the season is typically over by that point in the year, such as the Southern Plains and mid-South.

We'll see if the Atlantic hurricane season plays out similarly, or if the anomalously warm waters throughout much of the basin promote more activity despite the El Nino.
