Severe Weather Threat 12.26-12.29.2024

How fast have these storms been moving today?

If all is correct, that long track tornado in TX was only moving at ~25-30MPH average forward speed.

 

[Shakespeare 2016]

If all is correct, that long track tornado in TX was only moving at ~25-30MPH average forward speed.

At 25 to 30 mph that comes out to be 95 to 114 miles.

At 25 to 30 mph that comes out to be 95 to 114 miles.

If that's the case it won't be a record path length.

 

[Shakespeare 2016]

If that's the case it won't be a record path length.

Yeah, that is true.

 

[Clancy]

TOR for Marion Co., including Hamilton.

 

[Shakespeare 2016]

If that's the case it won't be a record path length.

Even so that is still impressive.

 

[MichelleH]

Even so that is still impressive.

I don't know about Texas, but I think the longest for Alabama was the May 27, 1973 Greensboro tornado with 139 miles.

 

[Clancy]

Extremely strong SRH values near that Marion Co. storm. The difference over 2 hours is remarkable.

 

[JPWX]

Well, ending 2024 with a Tornado Warning for Monroe County was definitely not surprising. I can't escape one full year without one. Thankfully, nothing happened in the county.

 

[Clancy]

Winfield NWR is down. Bad time.

 

[Shakespeare 2016]

If that's the case it won't be a record path length.

One possibility is the Woodward, OK tornado from 1947. It tracked 98 miles through Texas before reaching Oklahoma.

 

[Equus]

What an apex and RIJ with this QLCS now; considerable tag warnings all ahead of it, understandably

 

[Cood101]

At 25 to 30 mph that comes out to be 95 to 114 miles.

If that's the case it won't be a record path length.

Oh, I didn't mean path length. I meant total time from when the tornado touched down to when it lifted. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[akt1985]

Tornado Warning out for Biloxi/Gulfport now

 

[cg9450]

Tight rotation by monroeville Al, TOR warned

 

[Clancy]

Evidently the environment can still support some discrete development. Instability has spread well into AL. Might see an uptick in activity soon.

 

[kcyalater]

line is getting awfully kinky just southwest of tuscaloosa

 

[Shakespeare 2016]

Oh, I didn't mean path length. I meant total time from when the tornado touched down to when it lifted. Sorry for the confusion.

3 hours and 48 minutes may be a record for the length of time.

 

[cg9450]

Got a CC drop on lucedale storm

 

[Clancy]

Got a CC drop on lucedale storm

Looks pretty nasty.
