Severe Weather Threat 12.26-12.29.2024

[warneagle]

Looks like we might have us a little day-before-the-day action here

 

[MMWX]

Wowsers SE of Laurel. Strong couplet moving NE.

Finally warned. Should have been warned 15 mins ago.

 

[cincywx]

approaching waynesville, MS, and then the MS/AL state line near choctaw county, AL downstream

 

[MMWX]

Potential CC drop

 

[warneagle]

It's had a CC drop for a couple of scans now. The velocity doesn't look as impressive as it did on the last few scans now.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Impressive storm just offshore southwest of dauphin island

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Cc just got deeper with a strong couplet on the Mississippi tornado.

 

[Tanner]

Mobile storm is wrapping up big time

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Tornado warning extended into Alabama for the Mississippi tornado warning.

 

[OHWX97]

There's still a strong mesocyclone evident on radar over northeast Wayne County. Could very well produce another tornado at anytime.

Tornado warning extended into Alabama for the Mississippi tornado warning.

Why is it the storms of interest are almost always either right on top of a radar site (earlier Mobile one) or as far as possible from all of them - this one being nearly in the middle of a square between KDGX, KMOB, KBMX and KGWX?

They have got to get a new radar near Meridian. There used to be one but it got wiped out by a tornado decades ago.

so radars being tornado magnets isn't a recent phenomenon?

I mean, it does feel like there's an open contract to take out KGWX with the number of tornadoes that skirt by that site.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Tornado warning near wiggins Mississippi.

TDS in it

 

[CheeselandSkies]

New warning near Perkinston, MS with a fairly tight couplet. I'd say today's "marginal" risk is definitely overperforming a bit.

Growing more concerned not only about the parameters, but from the public's reaction. Just from what I've seen - at least in north Alabama - people seem to either not care or just flat out ignoring tomorrow's threat. I don't want to start a panic, but I'm starting to use stronger wording in my posts on FB. It's been a long time since we've had a tornado threat, and I'm worried about fatalities due to complacency.

Which is sad bc people never take it seriously until it happens to them. We see this time and time again, especially in Dixie where you would THINK people know better.

While the chances of being impacted by a tornado are slim, it only takes ONE to ruin your life.

Thanks for helping to warn people.

Yup 3 confirmed tornadoes now at least.

 

[KevinH]

I notice this happens fairly often with winter setups. I'm not sure why, I guess because people just don't think about tornadoes in December, which is unwise if you live in the South.

Exactly…

 

[KevinH]

I've learned, especially listening to Spann, that our tornado season down here is basically October thru the end of May.

100%!!!!!!!!

I wish more of the general public understood this.
