7001st post. And it's a big one.
-
visible satellite from this morning, before much of the snow melted
-
when everything is white
-
You may wan to edit the image, repost image, something like that. Global models generally have a low pressure near Texarkana on Sunday, 18z, with a 500mb shortwave axis west of Dallas, moving eastward quickly. The low pressure will move toward Mississippi.
-
I measured 9.2" The light wind is knocking a lot of snow off the tree branches. All the tree branches have 3" on them. Edit: 10.5"
-
My place has had snow accumulating since maybe 9:00 last night. I think I have 8", but I will need to measure.
-
You know, this is a real year for snow around here. And don't put away the snow shovels yet. Every model has snow for the Front Range cities on Thursday. You know things are bad when the UKMET and Euro predict heavy snow in April.
-
Storm-based warnings for the last 3 days. I heard there were 141 tornado warnings in 24 hours.
-
My place got 6" -- the true snowfall total over these last two days may be 7". Nice fluffy snow on top.
-
Not sure if anybody replied Here's what I use
-
So this is the 2nd or 3rd or 4th tornado to climb the Appalachians today? Sounds like April 3-4th 1974, when a tornado went over a mountain in West Virginia.
-
My place may have gotten 2-3" today, in total. I have been tracking tornadoes all day, so I only checked it a couple of times.
-
This may have been the best rotational velocities near Cullman AL (02:04z), that is, 15 minutes ago.
-
CC has lowered near LaFayette, GA-- seems to be correlated to rotation on SRV
-
Rotation at Blanche, AL and Little River, AL still looks impressive.
-
tornado-warned storm in the area of Gadsden has been impressive for several minutes. I am not sure if there has been any tornado.
-
I am seeing the velocities ramp up after Pachuta, Mississippi.
-
Possible tornado near Gorgas, AL (west of Birmingham) right now. This storm has tracked northeastward from Reform, AL area, with continuous tornado warnings.
-
by the way, the Hattiesburg area has had several tornadoes EF1-EF5 since 2000. Hattiesburg is in the middle of this image.
-
looks like 1-mile wide debris signature (Darbun, MS, west of Hattiesburg)
-
We must have had some interesting variation in snow rates. Loveland got 1" to 5.8" on CoCoRAHS. I had something like 1" -- some grass poking above the snow.
-
possible tornado at Oak Grove LA
-
These are the NAM-3km updraft helicity swaths out to 27 hours (03z Monday.) The NAM seems to like the idea of several storms in Arkansas, as opposed to MS/AL. I am not sure this is necessarily the most accurate depiction. Convection-allowing models are kind of all over the place with convection in MS. They seem to have a bit more agreement on several storms being MS/AL border near 00z, possibly extending the storms up towards Huntsville.
-
The hook echo was 2 miles from the radar. I have not heard any report of a tornado
-
Can I just complain for 4 seconds here? Why is it that the NAM, which is our best model for about 24-48 hrs for severe weather, can't forecast CAPE for crap?
