TellicoWx Posted April 12, 2020 Def agree with Quincy, guidance is converging more in those areas...may finally be nearing an agreement. Only area with a bigger question mark is the southern valley of TN/NW GA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheeznado Posted April 12, 2020 Getting very worried about a significant nocturnal damaging wind/QLCS tornado threat in the Atlanta area- this is the NAM-nest sounding which shows some pretty eye-popping numbers like storm motion 68 kts?!?! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpeters3 Posted April 12, 2020 OK, so it seems like intense QLCS tornadoes are on the table today... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janetjanet998 Posted April 12, 2020 looks like it weakened.... it was interesting to note how that storm and to lesser extent the one north sharpened up on reflectivity just before TOR warned ...it went from fuzzy looking to sharp on the backside , by sharp i mean the DBZ went from 50 to 10ish near the same pixels rather then a blob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonOH Posted April 12, 2020 1 minute ago, DanLarsen34 said: That radar signature is suggestive of at least an EF-3. Yikes. Not necessarily. The TDS doesn’t look very tall since it’s not even visible from the fort Polk radar at 7k feet. It could be EF3+ but sometimes radar signatures are deceiving. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good example of why you don’t necessarily need steep low-level lapse rates when you have low LCLs and substantial low-level shear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indystorm Posted April 12, 2020 That previous intense line in nw Louisiana seems to be breaking up into more discrete cells due to the insane helicity it is encountering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
