Getting reports of homes damaged in Irondale, OH and Fairhaven, WV from those back to back sigtors. Damage in Fairhaven is reportedly severe (no surprise, that’s where the debris ball popped up on reflectivity).

WOW!!!! There using the v word. I wonder if the tornado Risk may get upgraded to 15% hatched.

Yikes. NWS Paducah dropping the v-word in this morning’s discussHATCHED.

Violent tornadoes are specifically classified as EF4 or EF5. I believe that is correct. Sometimes I wonder if some people classify EF3 tornadoes as violent. I guess violent tornadoes could mean about anything to someone.

Thinking is. If that mcs does not develop this morning , spc will upgrade the tornado threat and come more southward with it also

I’m not a great forecaster, but I’m a bit perplexed about how hard the SPC and various WFOs are hitting the tornado threat. Morning MCS seems likely, discrete development seems uncertain, and storm mode looks very messy. What am I missing? I guess it’s a high ceiling, but very conditional?

MCs is expected to weaken and eventually wash out this morning , the atmosphere this afternoon Kentucky Tennessee will become very vilotale …. Why spc is hinting the tornado risk even greater . Time will tell

Was any damage observed in Washington County, PA (I believe that's the county - might be Beaver)?

They have learned that issuing higher probs leads to underperforming systems. If they low ball it we are sure to have a serious outbreak on our hands.

Only kidding of course but Mother Nauture seems to be playing these games lately.

It's already really "soupy" here. It was 70 degrees when I got up at 5:30 and walking outside is like walking into a wet blanket.

Also, ominous footage of debris flying in Sherwood as the tornado passed the outskirts of town.

Sorry, don't mean to spam the thread, but last post - tree damage in Portage.

Yeah. Humidity is high here in Smithville this morning and already feels soupy like you said.

These streaks starting see on short range not good at all

 

[Tomcats Forever!]

Northern TN is really getting soaked right now.

 

[warneagle]

No major changes on the new Day 1.

NPR news this morning said no fatalities from yesterday's tornadoes. I was glad to hear that.
