[TheRef]

So today just got a little bit more interesting. They just expanded the Moderate Risk area, and we already have a Tornado Warning in Louisiana.

Funnel Cloud/possible tornado visible from New Orleans International Airport tower...how would you like to call that in?

You feel like anything to worry about in jackson area?

High winds and hail...isolated tornado

Come on down to the Burg!!!

Funnel Cloud/possible tornado visible from New Orleans International Airport tower...how would you like to call that in?

Those supercells are moving very fast. Reminds me of some of the supercells in Alabama in 2012.

I'm now in Hattiesburg. It looks like we might start getting some of these supercells moving through Hattiesburg earlier than expected. I think by 1:00.

Truthful answer, what's the level of concern for the Meridian area? Be on alert, or get ready to duck?

They are the northern extent of the moderate risk area. So......

[Hattdawg]

Wind is really getting gusty up 49 from Gulfport to Hattiesburg.

[ghostofjackie]

I'm more worried about these singular cells out ahead of the dry line than I am about the actual line/broken line.

As I speak, live video of 2 waterspouts over Lake Ponchatrain in Louisiana. Now 3. Unreal

As you should..those are the the bigger threats to start spinning.

Yep..here is a pic of it..https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cb60CRaUcAA-Leo.jpg:large

[ghostofjackie]

I've had WWL on. The chick reporter said that it lifted as it hit land, which I think is untrue and a irresponsible thing to report. When waterspouts hit land they change color because they are no longer lifting water into the air. That thing was on the ground and we will start getting damage reports on land soon to prove my point.

Looks like Enterprise is at the top of the red. Praying for the safety and well being of everyone. Any chance we can devert this thing to Oxfart?

THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING.
WE DO NOT JOKE ABOUT DANGEROUS WEATHER. DO IT AGAIN YOU WILL BE BANNED.

Meridian is on the edge of the highest risk, but it's difficult to say how bad it could be. It all depends on the fuel, and other ingredients that are present. I'd be cautious.

I cant find the tweet from earlier.. But it really emphasized just how much people need to pay attention no matter what when you are in any of the zones.
The Ef-4 tornado that Hit Garland, tx was in the Moderate zone.


Listen to ref. But I would be on alert for the rest of the afternoon through Midnight.

Well, you asked what risk Meridian was under. I simply looked up a few posts at the "risk map" and told you that Meridian was at the northern extent of the Moderate risk area. So.....

[ghostofjackie]

It looks like the storms coming out of Louisiana and into S. Mississippi are less singular in nature. They might still spin up but I look at that as a positive. Looks like the worst of the worst will be to the east of Hattiesburg.

[TheRef]

Walthall County is now under a tornado warning...clear rotation on radar.

Exactly. You might see some water spouts if you were down off the Grand Isle, LA right now. It's all spinning around that Low pressure system that is getting stronger.

Do y'all think most of this will skirt off east of Hattiesburg??

I think Poplarville and Piacyune will be the next target in MS.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0130
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0518 PM CST TUE FEB 23 2016

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF SERN LA / SRN MS / SWRN AL

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 21...

VALID 232318Z - 240115Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 21 CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...STRONG TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS
ACROSS SERN LA/SRN MS AND MOVING INTO SWRN AL.

DISCUSSION...VERY RAPID INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND THE
ENLARGEMENT OF THE HODOGRAPH IS EVIDENT FROM KMOB VAD DATA DURING
THE PAST 2 HOURS /300 M2 PER S2 TO 700 M2 PER S2 0-3 KM SRH/. THIS
INCREASE IN THE LOWER TROPOSPHERIC FLOW HAS BEEN COINCIDENT WITH 1-2
MB PER HOUR PRESSURE FALLS ACROSS THE REGION AS STRONG MID-LEVEL
DCVA OVERSPREADS THE MOISTENING/DESTABILIZING WARM SECTOR. RECENT
SUBJECTIVE SURFACE MESOANALYSIS ALSO PLACES A DUAL MESOLOW STRUCTURE
WITH THE MORE INTENSE SEVERE STORM CLUSTERS ACROSS SRN MS AND SERN
LA. GIVEN THE AFOREMENTIONED FACTORS AND ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING
OF THE WIND PROFILE...EXPECTING A COUPLE OF TORNADOES OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS DOWNSTREAM OF THE AREAS WITH ONGOING SUPERCELLS. IF
SEMI-DISCRETE UPDRAFTS CAN EVOLVE ON THE SRN PORTION OF THE LARGER
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX...A HIGHER-END CORRIDOR OF POTENTIAL FOR A CYCLIC
TORNADIC SUPERCELL CAPABLE OF SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES MAY OCCUR.

Tornado Warning including Poplarville MS until 4:30 PM CST

Far from the best pictures, but here is that storm when it was about 7 miles SW of Poplarville.

The first one is the storm off in the distance. You can see the wall cloud and possible top of the funnel as it disappears behind the trees.

The second one is of the rear of the storm as we caught up to it as it went near the road we were on.

It was hard (and dangerous) to try to get too close to these storms due to the terrain and the fact that most were almost immediately becoming rain wrapped. I actually owe the county of Pearl River a little road pylon pole divider from trying to tweet info out to the NWS in zero visibility rain.
