Severe Weather Threat - January 8th-9th, 2024

The Twitter kiddos are already bustposting on birdsite, even though MOB didn't expect much activity until after midnight CST.

Shocker… clearly they do not know how Dixie behaves SMH.

Tomorrow, you should reply to one of their posts. You know, as a “follow up” LOL!!!

Oh man if only I were that confrontational hah.

Also, noticing some persistent elevated rotation in some of the MS cells, even though the storms themselves are really quite mundane-looking. Watch for those to become surface-based as the WF creeps northward.

Hey nws mobile y isnt their a storem yet U SUCK UR FORECASTS R GARBAG also the Fort Laudurdail tornadoe was an F5 I saw grnd scouRing and it was as violent drilbit tornado

(Okay, all jokes aside... I'd be on my heels too if I worked at one of those NWS WFO's and had to deal with wX Twitter.)

Who ordered a tornado on the island of Molokai in January of 2024?

 

[Taylor Campbell]

I’m north of Daphne, AL just off Interstate 10. The winds are cranking with trash cans blowing around. Mobile Bay water looked high and rough. I saw water intrusion and waves crashing onto Battlefield parkway. Temperature at 70.

 

[TH2002]

Impressive couplet near Summerland, MS could at least use a SVR

 

[RollTide18]

Things are slowly but surely beginning to heat up

 

[Kolle]

Several areas of rotation bear closer inspection presently.

 

[TH2002]

Here come the troublemakers. Special Marine Warning pointed at Pascagoula, MS

edit: Aaand TOR for Biloxi with a cell just to its west

 

[tornado examiner]

Okay things look to be starting up now….

 

[Taylor Campbell]

I think we got a tornado on the ground over Laplace, LA.

I think we got a tornado on the ground over Laplace, LA.

Yeah, NWS just mentioned in chat that a weak tornado has occurred.

I think we got a tornado on the ground over Laplace, LA.

I think so too. Impressive little spin up.

It's 49 here in the cold sector and just had a super close CG strike; breezy all day and steady rainfall, though my PWS decided today was a great day to stop reporting rainfall totals lol

Looks like a very unfun incoming QLCS tornado warning whack a mole incoming for MOB even if supercells don't manage to grow more robust in the screaming LLJ ahead of the line, where a strong tornado could pop up in a couple of frames... insane bulk shear and low level helicity out there for any updrafts that manage to get robust enough to take advantage of it in the narrow warm sector

Warm front on the move. In Columbus, GA we’ve gone from 48/49 to 52/54 in the last hour with SE winds of 14 mph.

Pensacola better get ready. A couple of cells coming from the gulf with nice curvature heading for them.

 

[Clancy]

Woke up and there's quite the supercell party off the coast.

 

[Equus]

Yeah it's looking less likely we get away without potentially dangerous prefrontal supercells moving inland now, especially for the Pensacola area coming up; if the updrafts sustain in this kinematic environment this could get nasty

 

[Taylor Campbell]

Uh oh don’t look at the Pensacola storm!

 

[Clancy]

Crazy long leadtime SMW for tornadic cell off the coast.
