Severe Weather Threat 12.26-12.29.2024

Currently 45 at my house and cloudy. I believe the wedge won't save our boat this time.

This is bringing a good bit of North MS into play that the SPC doesn't currently have highlighted in the ENH.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them expand the ENH significantly tomorrow morning; could theoretically pull out the Moderate if confidence continues to increase. Also, unrelated, but both NAM and HRRR have pretty robust lows.

 

[Clancy]

Interestingly, NAM 3km actually favors north and central MS/AL/GA for UH.

That's what I've told my EMA director about parts of North MS being added to the Enhanced Risk.

Uh… Spann has also mentioned the position of the low when it comes to higher end outbreaks in AL. I think he said look for a low to be over Arkansas (like I think it was for 2011).

NOT SAYING this weekend will be 2011. I am just saying what Spann said lol

have we considered strategically locating radars to lure the tornadoes away from populated areas? seems like a reasonable idea.

Come here tornado. Go fetch this radar bone.

yeah there's your classic dixie low cape/high shear sounding

 

[Clancy]

Could NOT be closer to KMOB. Still updating, so I think it lived - but if there was something down, it passed a few hundred meters north of the radar.

TBH, the people came to the airport, it was out all by itself until West Mobile grew up fast.

Hello all, lurker most of the time, but storms are in my neck of the woods (West Mobile, 4 miles due north from the airport) so I’m posting. VERY frequent lightning going on, lots of wind…

 

[Clancy]

Confirmed tornado heading straight for downtown Mobile.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Isn't there a skycam tower that can see downtown mobile?

I think so? There's that famous footage of the nighttime Christmas tornado over Mobile so I'm assuming there's at least one.

WKRG is streaming, and they are showing the downtown skycam. https://www.wkrg.com/watch-wkrg-news/

Whoever said earlier that tornadoes are either as far away from radar as possible or roll right over the top of them was spot on
