Severe WX Severe Weather Event April 13-14, 2019

[Equus]

Then there's the chance some of this stays strong enough to keep spawning warnings across pretty much the whole state; one of those sleepless nights honestly

 

[TornadoFan]

Neither the Jackson or Columbus AFB radars are showing strong rotation, but still showing a big debris signature.

 

[TornadoFan]

Is the circulation reforming southeast of Starkville?

 

[RainyMorning]

Is the circulation reforming southeast of Starkville?

Looks like it's trying to. WTVA is discussing it right now.

 

[TornadoFan]

Wow, it really tightened up on the last scan.

 

[MattPetrulli]

Couplet has tightened back up and a tornado is likely in progress

 

[JayF]

That storm is definitely intensifying.

 

[kcyalater]

Look out Starkville and West Point.

 

[RainyMorning]

WTVA met is saying it's moving north towards campus. Also just said there's the beginnings of a TDS showing with it.

 

[GA Stormchaser]

Looks like TWINS south of Starkville (about 10 minutes ago).

 

[TornadoFan]

TDS again!

 

[kcyalater]

This is not good.

 

[Equus]

Ouch, yep, tight couplet and TDS on the SE side of Starkville. Might be really bad

 

[BayouWeatherGeek]

Hope everyone on the campus of Mississippi State is taking cover. The TDS is really growing.

 

[kcyalater]

It has skirted to the SE of MSU’s campus. I’d bet a lot that something is on the ground right now.

 

[Equus]

Well with a persistent TDS we know it's on the ground, but the question is its precise location and intensity. Hopefully just tree branches and such.

 

[RainyMorning]

WTVA met said there's damage from the storm, but didn't elaborate

 

[Equus]

Couplet weakened again. That's one thing I don't like about these embedded setups, how quickly they can ramp up or down at pretty much any point in the line (though particular segments usually stand out at being more vigorous) - anyone under the line ought to be wary in case a sudden TDS appears, heh. Especially sucks at night.

 

[BayouWeatherGeek]

Looks like the rotation is broadening out. Could still be a tornado on the ground though.
