Severe Weather Threat May 7-10, 2024

Is it a regional/ municipal difference? Where I grew up, the sirens went off to alert you, but didn't stay on for the duration of the warning. Where I went to college, the sirens stayed on for the duration of the warning.

True.

The sirens where I live are sounded ONCE per warning to alert you. The EM told me that running sirens for the duration of the warning can be/is really hard on the sirens (which are not cheap). I say sound them while there is an active warning, but that's just me.

Yeah, I can't keep watching this. It's stressing me out.

This storm really wrapping up as it crosses the AL/GA line.

That couplet northeast of valley head is starting to look impressive. Wouldn't be surprised for a tog soon

keep an eye on the one south of Rogerville

I really need to get some sleep before the main line gets here to Huntsville metro but I don’t know if I’m going to get to.

CC drop on that AL/GA tornado. Aligns with reflectivity and velocity.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

This is one for the books in the Tennessee valley.

 

[Clancy]

TOG on the AL/GA line.

It's gonna be like this all night.

This isn't even making me sad or stressed, since most of these tornadoes seem relatively weak for now (and I'm not in the area). It's just exhausting tracking like, 10 different cells at once.

 

[Clancy]

Some of the highest STP values for GA in recent memory, almost certainly this year. VTPs up to 12.

Radarscope has not updated for over 30 minutes now. They're overloaded. Thanks to you all who are posting the screen shots of your radars.

Really worried about the Memphis metro. It's been really quiet here so far, but our threat doesn't kick off until well after midnight, and they still have a VTP of 10.

I understand mistakes happen, but I think they might have just lost a lot of users tonight.

Homes leveled is Weak?

Wow, I already forgot about that somehow. Almost proves my point to an extent about how many cells there are

This storm may also be getting ready in GA.
