Tornado Warning Florence, AL

 

[Clancy]

A lowering is visible on skycam near Florence, possibly a funnel cloud. Likely being influenced by the approaching QLCS.

[akt1985]

There is a Severe Thunderstorm well ahead of this storm system near Charleston, South Carolina.

 

[RollTide18]

Storms starting to fire in SE MS, let’s see what they do

 

[Equus]

Peak gust now 85 in Florence with the main line, wow

 

[akt1985]

It looks like the northern end of the QLCS is moving faster than the southern end

 

[Clancy]

PDS SVR in effect for metropolitan Louisville. 80 MPH straight-line winds with possibility of a tornado.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

Peak gust now 85 in Florence with the main line, wow

Tornadoes or no, these storms are pretty dang gnarly. Wind risk is definitely verifying.

 

[akt1985]

A new Tornado Watch is about to be issued that would likely include Cincinnati, Dayton in Ohio and Lexington, Kentucky.

 

[Tennie]

Tornado Warning issued for my area. A spinup is possible.

 

[Blountwolf]

Still chonky blobs aloft. Not as linear as would be best.

that florence cell merger looking mighty sus headed toward pulaski tn

 

[hurricaneguy]

I see the threat for tomorrow may be a bit on the down trend depending on how far east this line of storms holds together. Would be additional great news for this multi day event. Still a lot to watch the next 12 hrs

 

[StormStalker]

Where was the 85mph wind gust in Florence reported?

 

[Clancy]

Tornado on the ground from that cell exiting Alabama. Power flashes visible.

 

[Sharpy]

Tornado on the ground from that cell exiting Alabama. Power flashes visible.

Gotta imagine the winds on the front side of it are blowing very hard too - looks like that cell is bowing out from what I can tell too.
