Severe WX Severe Weather Threat 3/14-3/16

[Nwohweather]

Dews starting to surge in Alabama. As that LCL continues to lower things are going to get very interesting over there, I would argue the environment will be better for discrete cells as this progresses

It does seem like all of the supercells are becoming a lot more disorganized. Why is that?

Taylorsville under the gun again!

Too many attempted mergers will likely overwhelm a storm, that's my guess.

Gotta hit certain VROT velocities, and so far we haven't seen that yet with these storms

I hadn't heard anything about that until this thread. Source on that being an official policy?

If the weather radar I was working with only updated every six to eight minutes, I'd be struggling to issue warnings too.

(I'm sorry, I had to mention how much their radar sucks. Not only does it make it incredibly frustrating to follow the storms from a weather enthusiast's POV, but it's also incredibly dangerous for the people who rely on timely warning dissemination.)

I will say it is insane that in the year of our lord 2025, it is simply inexcusable to still have weather radars that take five plus minutes to update.

To say I've been busy and dodging tornadoes today is an understatement.

I’m not writing anything off, but we need serious waa and fast if something will materialize in Athens.

Still haven’t broke 60 deg DP imby

The same. I'm right next to the Georgia line in Cherokee County, and today, the dewpoint has held steady at around 55-57 degrees Fahrenheit. No sun here today, either. Not saying I'm brushing off the threat, but it at least has me feeling slightly better. We had originally planned to go to Birmingham for an event tonight. Needless to say, I'm thankful I talked my wife out of it.

? I’m in Hazel Green and it’s 70F here w/ S winds.

Just hope that your area ends up being spared from the violence that's currently being unleashed today.

Just another day for Johnny Parker.

j/k Stay safe, bud!

Tornado warning near York Alabama looks pretty good. The general path will be Tuscaloosa if it keeps going

It's silly. If a tornado is on the ground doing damage, it's an emergency for people in the path. Some things don't require overthinking.

 

[Equus]

71/65 here, lots of showers helping bring the temp and dew closer together but still not particularly rich moisture. Hopefully it kinda stays that way.

Stay safe, stay alert and keep fighting the good fight, brother!

I myself am going to have to take a circa half hour break from this thread to run some errands and get some lunch.

 

[Ledian]

At last...the end of Pontotoc's severe threat is near.

 

[Clancy]

More little showers are firing out ahead of this current column of tornadic supercells. Could be trouble. I've just kind of been staring at the active ones because they just keep raking over the same areas - an unfortunate implication of northward-moving storms.
