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

It's messy, but there may also be a TDS and a well-defined couplet on the Iredell/Walnut Springs, Texas cell. Probably could merit a TOR warning, unless I'm just seeing things.

Scott Peake has a large lowering on the TOR storm near DFW:

Any storm chaser live feeds?

 

[NXStumpy_Robothing]

Looks like a powerful Virginia tornado went under the radar/unwarned (cannot verify that atm).

- Some damage pictures.

Preliminary reports from Memphis

 

[Kragg]

TOR issued for that walnut Springs storm in TX (South of DFW

There are also more cells firing behind the DFW storms.

That storm near Blum is looking like it wants to produce a monster. The velocity couplet continues to intensify scan after scan.

Also looks like a potential couplet developing on the storm near Sulphur, Oklahoma.

Meanwhile, there’s a weather spotted confirmed tornado in Illinois

EDIT: the warning just got taken off

 

[warneagle]

Yeah, I totally missed the one down in Northumberland Co. The one in Maryland made me nervous because it was heading straight toward Frederick, which is a pretty large city.

 

[TH2002]

Two new TOR warnings just popped up in TX.

 

[warneagle]

New tornado warning in western Maryland too, just to the east of Frederick. It's over a pretty sparsely populated area at the moment but there's another cell behind it that's trying to get its act together right along I-40.

Yes it is.

PDS tornado warning on that south of DFW, significant tornado in progress

 

[Austin Dawg]

Things are trying to start building to my West in a line all the way up to the north of the Dallas area where a current warned storm is currently going on. Might be a long night here after the temp spiked at 93 and probably created a lot of energy with the 72-degree dewpoint.

 

[TH2002]

On another note, today is the 22nd anniversary of the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak including the infamous Bridge Creek-Moore tornado.

 

[vanni9283]

Yes it is.

That's as strong as it gets!!!
