MRX says a tornado actually touched down in Morgan Co .

The cell moved directly over the top of my area but had obviously lifted by then. My dog that is def started barking and that’s when the Warning went out. I got up to take a look and the winds were probably 40ish mph directly out of the north. What’s really wild is we’re talking mid 60’s temps and upper 50’s DP at night feeding a long track super cell that’s probably high end EF3 at the least. How does that happen? .

And that’s kinda out of the best ingredients .

SPC has expanded the slight risks and added in a 5% tornado threat. Big hail might be legit. .

It’s really nice you follow severe this close so far out. Appreciate the updates. .

.

That’s a good point .

Maybe it’s me but I’ve noticed recently in these winter time outbreaks you don’t necessarily need strong CAPE north of the best dynamics when lines or QLCS’s develop in the warm sector and move into areas with less destabilization to aid, as long as you still have sufficient wind energy. Seems like they will hang on for a couple of hundred miles before the lack of LI’s or SBCAPE start to eat them up. Knoxville has been just outside of the best combined dynamics and we’ve still had some severe wind during the last 2 events. Just a thought [emoji2369] .

I 100% believe there’s something that helps low level winds in Monroe and Blount Co with tornadoes. The numbers speak for themselves vs the other mountain counties. .

.

Yes it was warned but looks like it was issued right before it was confirmed. .

Confirmed tornado just NE of Tazewell at 6:03pm .

Tornado warning NE of St Lewis in the marginal risk area. .

SPC talked about a secondary WF in the vicinity of MAla, MMiss creating a cap north of that boundary. ICON is trying to show that now. .

That’s some serious wording for 5 days out. .

.

I was just a couple of miles north of that scene and I’d say the winds were 45ish mph but just west of that area of N Knoxville, velocity was interesting .

Knoxville got hit pretty good. We had 16 major roads closed because of down trees and power lines. 10 schools still without power. 40k without power at one time. Took this pic close to my house on Broadway, this is the same tree. .

It’s crazy that Knoxville area has had 2 tornado warnings in less than a week at the end of June. The one Thursday afternoon was on top of me. The one today was 5 miles or so north. .

There seems to be more imbedded cell structures from I-40 north moving onto the plateau. MRX was talking about a boundary, like a warm front draped across the valley and I’m wondering if it will add more shear to the line? .

Here’s a few pic I took. The last photo looks like it could have been a wall cloud or possibly a funnel. .

Forgot to post this video I shot at my house in Halls. It was that northern most cell in Knox Co. .

Showers this morning seem unexpected. Will probably dampen storms this afternoon .

Morgan Co got hit hard that November also. I think like 7 died in the Mossy Grove community. .
