Severe Weather 2024

OK, members have spoken. There are now two separate threads. Which involved me making a severe thread. May God have mercy on our souls.

Hawley Texas tornado is a 170mph ef3+ on the day.…lol what?

I guess it's still being surveyed?

 

[TornadoFan]

Wouldn't that make it an EF-4 if it had winds of 170 MPH?

I'm guessing they are gonna confirm it as an ef4 but made some sort of mistake…or are still reviewing findings

 

[andyhb]

Might just be a typo, but definitely at least EF3.

 

[tornado examiner]

Aand its gone

 

[buckeye05]

Anyone have any official survey info on the Hawley, TX tornado? I can't seem to find anything.

Damage points are being added to the dat

Seems like that one partially swept home hasn’t been fully reviewed yet on Hawley…it hasn’t got a Di on the d.a.t yet…but that is the home that may get the tornado upgraded to ef4

Seems like it was determined to be a high-end EF3 by San Angelo. But they claimed that there was only one swept away home, and seem to be oblivious all of a sudden to the other one.

So it looks like the Hawley tornado might get ef4 after all maybe?

Thanks for the update. I was wondering.

 

[Tanner]

I know we have a couple more days before we enter a lull period for about a week, but that appears to be a recharge as the GFS the past few runs has been showing a major longwave trough coming into the states starting on the 16th.

Can see some anchor bolts in that photo. Also I believe the only reason the cars weren't tossed from the car park was because the tornado was relatively narrow. Probably a very tight gradient in the corner flow region.

Yet more active weather expected as we look into the mid-to-long range.

I see some people on social media already chirping, “may is over.” Analysis via Trey’s season forecast video for this year says that the END of may was supposed to be more active than the start.

Yeah, not sure what makes people think we're done with spring.

 

[JPWX]

Yeah, not sure what makes people think we're done with spring.

And me thinks that the Deep South isn't quite done yet either.

 

[Fred Gossage]

And me thinks that the Deep South isn't quite done yet either.

Nope. I can't guarantee there's much more ahead before it flips to summer MCS type stuff, but I think there's a credible uncertain potential for at least one more synoptically-driven threat before the end of the month.

Because people like to pull talking points from their gastrointestinal tract.
