Tuscaloosa storm

 

tight couplet now

Just got a tornado warning, went from broad to tight rotation in like 2 scans. 

Big CC drop over Heflin

Hi res NAM has insane winds at 850 mb, if we can mix some of these down with heavier precipitation it will be a high end wind event. 

Very active day across the southeast, I'm surprised it's so quiet here.

Debris Signature now...

Debris signature got massive the last few frames 

This storm in western GA isn't messing around 

Edit;  it's actually in eastern AL

Tornado emergency now for that cell as it's corssing some smaller towns in Alabama. 

Very close call for Chico TX in the next few minutes, there's a pretty significant TDS with that storm.

Edit; Rotation looks very mean now

PDS warning for the storm approaching Popular Bluff.

They have a legit shot at a moderate snow event. 

Anything to add to our misery.

While it sucks, it does at least show that with some luck and good timing you can snow in the worst of patterns.

12Z GFS has potential - how do we get this to trend north ?

The Euro has your answer (but you're not going to like it) 

Winds picking up big time in Staten Island now after a brief lull.

Lowest barometric pressure I can find is 28.88 at several locations in NJ.

While strong, the low is really broad and elongated at the moment with a relatively large area of similar pressure readings. Lowest are Allentown and Mount Pocono at 28.85.

This warning is for area east of Yazoo City MS, with the possible tornado near I-55.

--

At 404 PM CST, a confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado was
located over Pickens, or 16 miles southwest of Durant, moving northeast at 50 mph.

This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TAKE COVER NOW!

HAZARD...Damaging tornado.

SOURCE...Radar confirmed tornado.

Pickens is a relatively small town in size, the tornado either passed VERY close to them or directly over them.

Anything more on this? Not too much talk

It passed through a very rural area before lifting.

Confirmed tornado now with the cell west of Raleigh MS.

The airmass honestly isn't that bad. If you can get this under light precipitation, you can certainly cool the column in a more dynamic storm. Especially if you can an idea phase from the northern stream, it's always tough for things to align perfectly for us but it won't take all that much here to get a solid snowstorm out of this. 

That significant tornado contour is massive

Confirmed tornado on the west side of Laurel, MS.


.

PDS warning now with this cell as it enters Sandersville. 

Massive CC drop for the cell that passed Sumrall MS, they very likely took a significant hit.

Radars in central PA looking fairly impressive at this time with the squall line now passing to the east of the Harrisburg area.  Ground obs are indicating that the strongest winds are remaining aloft however.  Wind gusts in that area have maxed out in the 30 to 40 mph range so far.  

Winds at 850 mb are supposed to dramatically increase over the next few hours (HRRR shows 850 winds briefly topping 90 mph) but at the same time convection will decrease as it moves into this general area. We'll see if we can mix down any significant winds here as we tend to do well with southerly winds. 

White Plains gusting to 55 mph, very impressive for that location. 

EWR gusting to 47 and LGA 48.
