Severe WX Severe Weather Threat Jan 12th, 2023

Shallow signature, similar to Cookeville 2020 and Bowling Green 2021

To add to it, in this stage of its life it was likely a small in size but intense tornado. Could be wrong, but that's what you get with shallow signatures sometimes.

greensboro storm now has the stage. yikes.

Most likely a strong rotation was still occurring at the ground containing debris and had detached from mid level circulation. Kinda like when a tornado ropes out before it fully dissipates.

Tornado Watch upcoming for E AL, W GA.

Your spot on, many ef4 and even ef5s have shown those weak signatures but have been incredibly strong low down. Moore Oklahoma 2013 for example (I think) may have been another one.... Not saying this is ef4 or ef5 though!

It sure looks like that Bibb county storm has a dropping CC again

 

[MattPetrulli]

Could be a limiting factor in some areas, but southern AL is relatively veered, (BMX and North GA are kinda backed) and moisture is still somewhat mediocre. Also mergers may limit organization for the central AL cells eventually.

No hatched, quite surprised given we've had several sig tors

That was weird, nothing on velocity now

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Confirmed by NWS have ground truth of it

 

[MAMASZ]

Any news from Greensboro?

 

[Kragg]

The unearned cell north of the sweet water TOR is looking a little suspicious too

 

[Equus]

Probably the main corridor of tornado threat will remain the Mongtomery to Calera corridor with the veering further south, best overlap of decently backed flow and meager instability pretty much along the track of those dominant couple of embedded supercells

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Greensboro cell has a bwer on it. The meso is growing larger.

It's cycling.

 

[Equus]

Marengo county cell going dominant and looking really impressive, though in a radar hole it's hard to tell for sure
