Severe Weather Threat May 20-21, 2025

That Oxford, MS storm is one to watch to go tornado warned

Brad Arnold seems to think so as well.

 

[Bulkshear]

I don't think so.
Now I'm wondering if that sounding with the backed surface winds comes true lol, since the lapse rates are good.

Yeah this is bad news all over it with improved lapse rates and backing of the surface winds

This is a very strange event, because I feel like it's quite common to see Dixie events with huge wind shear profiles that underperform because of a bunch of other factors, mostly mode. This event has everything in place right now outside of maybe some mid-level lapse rates and impressive shear, so I'm interested to see what pans out today. Despite there being some impressive backing at the surface in a lot of the soundings, effective SRH values really don't seem to be very impressive today.

The cell over Fayetteville, TN, sure is trying to get its money's worth.

Tornado warning just outside of Memphis.

The cell over Fayetteville, TN, sure is trying to get its money's worth.

Forgot about it, left it, and came back to it looking like a classic supercell but downsized. Huh, 2025 everyone.

Storm going up just NE of the Columbus AFB radar.

Star City, AR storm might be one to keep an eye on as well.

Jason Simpson (NBC-13) said yesterday that they weren't expecting a tornado "outbreak," but I don't know if that thinking has changed.

This is the first severe weather system I remember coming through this late in May in forever. Maybe not in the Central Plains, but in Alabama. And just think, hurricane season is just around the corner.

Looks like Brandon has a wall cloud on stream

Do you have a link by chance?

 

[N4GKS]

For anyone that’s not familiar, Bob Barron‘s weather camera system is set up throughout Alabama, and here is the link to it. Not only does it have cameras, it has weather stations.

TOG in Tennessee.

Never good when the little blips produce.

Newest D1 actually constrains the 10% tornado threat northward. Not sure I agree with that.

Springfield, IL. Didn't even know IL was in play today.
