Severe WX Wednesday/Thursday/Friday April 17th-19th Severe Threat

[RainyMorning]

Rotation tightening up around Flowood. That's a very populated area.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Yeah that is a gnarly QLCS with definite embedded spinups. Still, no sign of higher-end supercell development out ahead of it ATTM.

 

[warneagle]

Really strong rotation near Puckett. That was the one that was confirmed earlier.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Yeah, with a radar signature like this at 900', it's got to be OTG even if no clear TDS.

 

[Kory]

BWER on the Puckett storm.

 

[warneagle]

Clear TDS now. Did the old meso occlude there and form a new circulation?

 

[Jpgood20]

Hopefully Polkville isn't heavily populated

 

[South AL Wx]

[CheeselandSkies]

Yiiiiiiiikes.

Hopefully Polkville isn't heavily populated

It's not really, a lot of chicken farms out there and wide open land.

I'm really kind of irritated right now. I have a class from 6-8 at Samford here in Bham and I have heard no word at all on closings. It's not something I can miss if they do have it, which is annoying since this will be coming through here at that time.

 

[jules]

Yiiiiiiiikes.

Does that storm have an eye?!

 

[Kory]

Does that storm have an eye?!

Bounded Weak Echo Region. Generally happens with higher end tornadoes.

 

[RainyMorning]

One of the rotations near the Reservoir just went over my brother's neighborhood. He hasn't been out to see if there's any damage, but he said it was pretty noisy and they've lost power.

 

[RainyMorning]

That storm approaching Morton looks mean.

 

[kcyalater]

Everything looks nice and congealed now. Primarily QLCS moving forward?

 

[Richardjacks]

looks very similar to some of the HRRR runs, it is now hauling a** northeast

 

[RainyMorning]

Reports of cars flipped over in the WalMart parking lot in Clinton. Family there said they had some nasty winds and lots of rain.

 

[Kory]

Everything looks nice and congealed now. Primarily QLCS moving forward?

I suspect the southern end will be more dominated by cellular mode. But yeah, I think the 20/59 corridor is the QLCS.

 

[kcyalater]

Derecho anyone?

 

[CheeselandSkies]

This is one of the nastier tornadic QLCS' I've seen on radar since the morning round on 4/**/**. This most likely won't be nearly that prolific and won't be followed by the terrible round of violent supercell tornadoes, but there will certainly be pockets of relatively strong (by QLCS standards) tornado damage in there.
