Oh, I see Alabama wants to join the party now.

There's no TDS on the Greenville storm yet, think they lucked out for the most part.

Wapakoneta storm is on the ground.

Right?

Ryan Hall Y'all stream saying a tornado has touched down near New Knoxville, OH west of Wapakoneta.

Yeah that’s a mean looking velocity signature. Glad it hasn’t produced yet.

Yikes

So does the NWS want to include population in PDS and TORE warnings or do they not? Because this basically goes against the memo that was sent out yesterday.

If they want to, that's fine and I don't fully disagree with it, but they need to pick a side of the fence to be on.

I included it in the other thread, but population was part of guidance not too long ago. It was also just a tweet from what I assume is a current NWS meteorologist. While there is guidance, as we’ve seen today and throughout every event, it’s not always applied evenly. I would also say that TORE has more consultation to it than the tweet said.

Ol' reliable Sand Mountain Magic is at it again.

It will be harder and harder to get people to pay attention to a regular TOR if you are issuing a PDS for something like that.

The average Joe that is sitting in their safe room or basement, doing what they’re supposed to do, likely never know a warning is upgraded to PDS or whatever tag is on it. We focus on it because we know about it, they just think tornado warning and did anyone see it or is it just radar observed. Conversations at spotter classes and other public education events make this a glaring reality.

Back to the event.

I am really surprised the ongoing tornado headed for Wapakoneta is not getting more attention in this thread. TDS is clear as day this far away from the radar, might be a strong one

 

[Clancy]

Very sus appearance. Moving over Rosalie, AL.

Storm west of Louisville, KY just went tornado warned.

Nasty hit on Wapakoneta. TDS just deepened considerably.

Those pop-ups along the Ohio River are quick to start spinning. Not a huge fan as someone who lives up the street from the river.
