Severe WX Severe Weather Threat: May 2-5, 2021

[Equus]

That's a rather impressive debris ball and signature for that distance...

 

[kevinrock]

Pretty impressive couplets on those 2 storms in South Carolina

 

[Jacob]

It's odd how the southwestern storm has consistently had a stronger meso for the last half hour or so, but I've seen no indication that it has actually put down a tornado yet. Meanwhile, the northern circulation has had one on the ground for a solid half hour now.

 

[Argus]

Looks like the Elbert County, GA storm ramped up in SC.

 

[TornadoFan]

Intense couplet in Crenshaw County, Alabama. Just got TOR warned.

 

[MattW]

It seems like a bunch of small cells are starting to pop up between Birmingham, Montgomery and Atlanta, all moving NE.

 

[akt1985]

Greenwood, South Carolina is under two separate tornado warnings.

 

[Weatherphreak]

confirmed large and extremely dangerous Tornado warning on that SC storm.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Intense couplet in Crenshaw County, Alabama. Just got TOR warned.

That's the type of couplet that pops a nasty debris sig on the next scan...

 

[TornadoFan]

SC storm might be cycling.

 

[Argus]

Per TWC, there was damage in Elbert County, GA and per Tim Bryant from Cox Media, there was damage along Robert Hardeman Road east of Athens, which is between here and Athens.

There’s a bunch of broad rotation in the cell that’s just west of Enterprise AL too. I wonder if it’s going to be able to tighten up.

 

[TH2002]

There's really nothing to release. Just that one short segment of frames is all there is to see.
I need to rig up a mount for one of my bigger camera bodies.

IMO you should still release whatever you have, even if the tornado is only visible for a few seconds. There's very little footage of the Tupelo tornado.

 

[Equus]

It's 73/70 here, feels very prime for strong storms; unsurprisingly have some just off to the west.

Yeah, we have "air you can wear" here.

 

[Equus]

I stepped out and immediately just shuddered, dews that high barely into May is unpleasant and ominous

 

[Argus]

I have a feeling the "table is being set"...

 

[Kragg]

There’s three supercells that have popped up west and northwest of DFW showing some broad rotation.

 

[bwalk]

Spotter confirmed tornado in central Illinois at ~ 5:30 pm. Mostly a rural environment atm.

 

[Kragg]

Radar indicated Tornado South of Antietam and about to cross over the MD border.
