Severe WX Severe Weather Threat - Jan 2nd - Jan 4th, 2023

[JPWX]

I'm hoping to get some lightning with my new GoPro 11 that I got for Christmas. Got it outside now.

Lowest probabilities I’ve seen in a tornado watch in a while. Gonna be brief ones if they happen unless one storm can get on it’s on and be unhindered

Watch this area closely.

This just in…

Semi-related question. Does anyone have a link to a resource on how to read the different fields in an ASOS report?

Several tornado warnings ongoing in the Florida panhandle and extreme southeast Alabama into SW Georgia. Looking at CC, there may have been a brief touchdown west of Jakin, GA.

There was an early morning tornado in northern Heard county, GA that destroyed a mobile home.

Surprised nobody mentioned what seems like was a reasonably strong tornado in Montgomery last night. Seeing cars flipped and roofs ripped off homes.

That’s one of the nicer areas in Montgomery too. EF2ish I bet

Know someone who had the same issued. Allison House has a bug. If you have RS pro, go to settings and change premium product to RS Pro

I'm curious to see the rating of that tornado. I work in Montgomery (not in that area) and live just north of Montgomery, so I'm pretty familiar with that area. It appears that was a brief, unwarned tornado (a tornado warning was later issued for that storm after it moved just east of Montgomery). I wish I was paying more attention to the radar at the time, but I was looking closer to my house as we were dealing with the squall line at that time. A co-worker mentioned that he saw a brief TDS on CC at the time, but didn't see much on velocity.

Not sure if I should post here or in the Severe Weather thread since it's the 4th. Apparently there's a "observed" tornado warning in far southeast Georgia currently.



Looks like there's been a lot of tornado warnings this morning in GA, FL, and SC, including two other "observed" warnings in South Carolina a few hours ago.

So here's where we're at with the survey results from this event:

List of United States tornadoes from January to February 2023 - Wikipedia

The Jonesboro, LA and Deatsville/Coosa River, AL tornadoes were noted as they were in progress and displaying some of the most obvious/impressive velocity/CC signatures of the event, but how the heck did I miss the 43-mile, nearly hour-lasting Arkansas EF2 on Monday evening?

Small tornado hit DeKalb neighborhood, National Weather Service says

A meteorologist with the National Weather Service believes it was a tornado that caused the damage in DeKalb County Tuesday night.

Brief tornado confirmed in southeast Dekalb County, GA. I saw a bit of rotation and warned my mom who lives in north Rockdale. Right about where this damage is, is where the storm was when I warned her. No damage her way though, it fizzled as it crossed the county line.

The problem is the abysmal radar coverage in southeast Arkansas. It made it very easy to miss.

Total of 55 tornadoes from this one. Most were weak, but still, nothing to sneeze at.
