Severe Weather 3/9 - 3/12

[KevinH]

@KevinH Columbus area mentioned.

Figures.... lol

They trimmed the tornado risk AWAY from me with the 4pm update, but still.. I am keeping one eye open.

Maybe I read this too fast, but I did not see anything about timing. I expect to be part of a SVR WW at MINIMUM.

 

[KevinH]

Look at radar - little ones already are.

Wait. You don't actually LIVE in CULLMAN do you @MichelleH?

 

[KevinH]

This could also be the world record for hail size if it's just over 8 inches.
Come to think of it, if a CIG3/High Risk for hail would exist, it would've been over IL for this storm. I've never seen a storm consistently drop 5+ inch hailstones

I think that record was set in Nebraska??? Looks like it may have just been tied. SMH

 

[MichelleH]

Wait. You don't actually LIVE in CULLMAN do you @MichelleH?

Yes. Lived in this county all of my life.

 

[MichelleH]

Well, alrighty then. Guess they're not expecting much in north MS and AL.

 

[KevinH]

Yes. Lived in this county all of my life.

Omg.... I remember reading about Cullman.. and not for good (meteorological) reasons Stay safe.. always...

Random question: Do you know what company makes the sirens yall have?

 

[ColdFront]

Yeah. Depends on how liberal NWS Chicago surveyors are.

If Ricky Sanchez is still there, they at least have someone within that office that has made some public comments about the strictness of the EF scale.

Not related to weather but I’m assuming you aren’t planning on commenting one minute from now?

Lol, what a weird glitch.

Thank you. We do tend to be a target, although (knocks on wood) there hasn't been a confirmed touchdown in the county since five years ago this month. And no idea about the sirens, I hate the outdated things.

In this MCD, SPC mentions that we may see an intensifcation in convective intensity along the MS/AL border this afternoon and evening.

Areas affected...middle TN and far northern AL

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 46...

Valid 111922Z - 112115Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 46
continues.

SUMMARY...Mixed damaging wind/marginal severe hail threats should
persist through late afternoon across mainly middle Tennessee into
far northern Alabama.

DISCUSSION...A couple of embedded supercells within a broken QLCS
have yielded marginal severe hail and downed tree reports thus far.
The boundary layer remains warm ahead of this activity, with surface
temps mainly in the upper 70s to lower 80s. This will sustain a
mixed damaging wind/severe hail threat over the next 2-3 hours. 18Z
BNA sounding and recent VWP data confirm a nearly unidirectional
southwesterly low-level wind profile with modest speed shear. This
could support a brief tornado or two, but should largely remain a
secondary hazard. Convection bubbling on the trailing portion of the
outflow along the MS/AL border could yield an uptick in severe
potential across far northern AL.

What do you mean?

 

[Maxis_s]

Never seen a manhole cover like that before. Looks like the wind got under the sides and lifted it up. Wonder if June First will do the calculations.

He got a notification that showed you were posting a minute later

Last time I saw something like this was Greenfield.

Anything from the Wheatland tornado yet? Haven’t heard much.

The only real damage I’ve seen from there is the destruction of a solar farm. Not much else

Might be because of the rural area. Might be a little bit until we get damage reports.
