Said this in the other forum, but the Palestine Il debris signature is absolutely horrifying. .

The debris signature from the Robinson Il tornado is massive. .

Who needs discrete cells when you’ve got this going on. Major tornadoes in progress in Iowa right now. .

This is the strongest wording I’ve seen in an SPC outlook in a long time. They’re always mindful of their wording and it’s very notable that they not only use the word “violent” to describe the tornado threat; but that strong/violent tornadoes are “probable.” .

Good thread here from a SPC meteorologist discussing how the office currently views high risk issuance. .

Thread has been a little quiet, but today and tomorrow could still be quite active. Looks like the greatest threat for discrete supercells capable of producing tornadoes today will be across eastern Arkansas and Mississippi this evening and overnight. .

Thought it’d be a good idea to start a thread now on the looming threat of severe weather coming up on Wednesday and Thursday next week. Looks like we could be dealing with back-to-back days of significant severe weather from Texas to the gulf coast. We may need to expand the time frame of the thread to the 20th and 21st as well if models continue to show the potential for a major event, although that’s still a long ways out. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/exper/day4-8/ .

Tornado emergency for Autauga county Alabama for what’s likely a violent tornado. Huge debris fallout and very intense velocity signature. .

Wanted to start a threat regarding the severe weather threat on January 2nd. SPC has issued a 30% enhanced risk contour for Arkansas, northern Louisiana, and Far NE Texas. We could be starting the new year with yet another significant cold season severe weather event. .

Literally everything is rotating right now and we've got some wicked velocity signatures early.

.

These videos from Trey Greenwood are really informative. Here’s his discussion today on the tornado threat. .

.

We had a quite a lull in activity, but now things are starting up again. Already four separate tornado warnings in LA. .

Worth noting that the band of storms out ahead of the main show looks to be intensifying as well. We might be seeing two bands of discrete to semi-discrete supercells emerging with a threat for significant, long-tracked tornadoes. .
