Significant Tornado Events - Global Edition

[slenker]

Yep, that's TOTY....in France..

Apparently homes are completely destroyed from this based on initial reports - could be an intense or even violent tornado since European construction tends to be much better than the US. Motion doesn't look overly impressive to me based on this video but the rotation tornadoes display can be deceiving sometimes.

Mentioned this risk 4 days ago too in the main thread. Anomalous parameter space verifies.

The real tornado of the outbreak, probably IF3 or 4 based on damage pics.

Yeah that recent France tornado was quite intense. Very impressive damage to homes. At least IF3 for sure.

There is another quite concerning setup that will unfold across Western Europe on Thursday and Friday. Estofex has issued a level 3 outlook for Eastern France with a sizeable risk of tornadoes, some of which could be quite strong.



ASTORP has also generated a level 3 risk across Southern France/Northern Italy for Friday, with main risks being significant wind gusts + hail, and of course a decent tornado risk.

Yeah, this one's a concern. Stout EML overtop very strong effective shear of near 70 kts, practically a similar situation to the IF3+ a few days ago in this exact region.

Very strong low level shear should lead to a risk of potentially significant tornadoes.

Another severe weather outbreak produced large hail in several cities and at least one tornado today in Campo Erê, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
There is currently no confirmation of damage.

Was gonna post this! Pretty sick wedge to see somewhere that isn't the plains. Seems like it may not have hit anything either.

South America is back...




Following a Level 2 severe weather risk covering all hazards issued by Prevots, and in line with the automated forecast from the Rawinsonde website for much of the SA Dixie region (a Level 2 risk from Prevots is equivalent to a slight risk under SPC standards in the U.S.) a cluster of strong discrete left-moving and long-track supercells erupted over the Argentine Panhandle, which would move eastward toward southern Brazil, leaving a trail of strong winds and, above all, big gorilla hail along their entire path:





And as night fell, a wedge tornado would emerge from one of them, captured only by Brazilian storm chasers Gabriel Zaparolli and Carlos Rafael near the town of Campo Erê in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.





If it weren't for them, this tornado would have gone unnoticed, since so far there have been no reports of any damage associated with it. Here's the live feed:



It isn't until 1:21:00 that they realize they're facing a massive tornado.
