Severe Weather Threat - December 12-14, 2022

[buckeye05]

Two new areas of rotation ramping up. One near Gary City and the other near Chireno.

Tenaha storm really ramping up.

 

[buckeye05]

Seems to be holding off, but I'm concerned about the Shreveport cell dropping another one. Fairly populated suburban area its in.

Might be back on the ground over Blanchard

 

[buckeye05]

Hmmm yeah that looks like a TDS, but I'm not seeing much on velocity so I'm not 100% sure. Definitely might be related to proximity to the radar.

EDIT: Looks like a slight downtrend in overall presentation across the board.

Yep, disappeared with the next scan so if it was a tornado it was a brief one. Never any TORR wording on the warning either.

The storm west of Keachi, LA looks extremely healthy.

 

[buckeye05]

Was about to say the same thing, but seems to be losing it as it crosses into LA. Something seems like it’s not quite there to really get sustained rotation with these cells now.

Edit:aaaaand I may be about to eat crow

 

[buckeye05]

You’d think I’d learn not to say that by now…lol

 

[TornadoFan]

Sure looks like it could takeoff now.

 

[Taylor Campbell]

Yikes that’s on the ground!

 

[buckeye05]

Oh boy big TDS

 

[TH2002]

Possibly a debris signature
edit: Welp nevermind, it's definitely on the ground

 

[buckeye05]

Debris ball again

 

[buckeye05]

Will likely need to keep an eye on the two San Augustine, TX cells farther south as the night goes on. I could see those causing problems.

PDS TOR put out for the cell south of Shreveport--though the radar echoes don't exactly look like it actually deserves it...

Yeah that is highly questionable

 

[Tennie]

Yeah that is highly questionable

The warning text mentions that it's a law enforcement-confirmed tornado. I personally wouldn't be surprised to learn that some unfortunate police officer thought they saw a tornado...

 

[buckeye05]

Geez what happened? Nothing looking healthy atm. Was expecting a much longer duration event.

My guess ATTM would be some kind of issue related to low-level instability (or lack thereof?).

Also, Ryan Hall had to cancel his planned stream due to issues with his internet connection.
