Severe WX Severe Weather Threat - February 15-16, 2023

[TH2002]

Double twister

A bit surprised the hook + couplet to its immediate northeast is only SVR warned given it looks just as impressive on radar.

 

[TornadoFan]

That hook on the storm moving towards Ada is one of the more impressive ones I've seen lately.

Not sure that’s good think or bad thing be honest … good thing currently . But could get ugly quick later if or. When cap erides

School night for me, gotta bend some rules to get past the 10pm bedtime so I can track this darn thing. I'm usually up by 7 regardless...

 

[MichelleH]

I'm assuming the storms popping up west of me are elevated?

 

[TornadoFan]

Ada storm is cranking hard. Surprised they extended the SVR warning instead of issuing a TOR.

Depending on where in TN you are, you will probably want to have a weather radio ready to go at your bedside tonight...although if you're on this forum, you probably don't need to be told that.

I'm in middle Tennessee, so I'm unlikely to get severe weather my way. I'd still keep my phone and tablet charged and within easy reach tonight just in case, though.

 

[TornadoFan]

Now it's warned.

Tonight no but tomorrow may be another story

It's definitely try to pick up speed in that spinning spot of the storm.

 

[Gen-Z Meterology]

Why is there no active Tornado Watch over the Mid South? Lots of cells are picking up activity, with the cell near Oxford especially looking nasty.

 

[Gen-Z Meterology]

Cell NW of Oxford is now Tornado Warned.

 

[The Nino]

[Timhsv]
