I really appreciate these weather threads.

SVD, I know this is not a very sophisticated question but is this starting to feel like it may be an early spring (if there is such a thing) ?

[starkvegasdawg]

SVD, I know this is not a very sophisticated question but is this starting to feel like it may be an early spring (if there is such a thing) ?

Not really. Our spring severe weather season kicks off 3/1 and goes through about the first 10 or so days in May so we went 16 days into our severe season before our first real event. What it may be is an active severe weather spring where we have above normal severe threats. We are in a La Ni?a pattern which favors an active spring severe season in Dixie Alley.

Our season peaks in late April here. In fact, the most active day for tornadoes in MS is 4/27. That day has seen more tornadoes than any other day in our history. But temps and everything for the most part have been right in queue. I remember last year we had red maples blooming out in early February.

Jackson NWS now getting on board for Thursday:

Global model guidance and their respective ensemble members have come into agreement on the potential for a more significant severe
weather episode on Thursday as a vigorous negatively tilted shortwave trough swings through the Lower Mississippi Valley while a
deepening surface low lifts from northeast Texas and through central Arkansas. A robust warm sector will be in place across much of the
area with dew points well into the upper 60s to low 70s. Low-level mass response to the deepening low will foster a strengthening 50-
60kt low-level jet that will overspread the warm sector. Surface-based instability of 2000-2500 J/kg juxtaposed with 300-400 m2/s2 of
0-1km SRH and plentiful deep-layer shear oriented off the initiating boundary will support an environment favorable for all modes of severe weather.

[parabrave]

For the Coast we are going to get plastered Wed and Thrus, 7 inches of rain for both days and numerous TSTORMS. Rocket needs to watchout Fri.

[starkvegasdawg]

Any updates?

Latest model trends are continuing to show a potentially significant severe weather event Thursday. Raw model numbers are actually looking worse than this past Wednesday, although that in no way means a higher end event is expected. Even this close it's still too far out to tell. By tomorrow evening the HRRR will start weighing in on the matter and then we can start trying to nail down the finer details. Target area has been fluctuating some with the models but right now I'm saying between Hattiesburg and Cleveland you need to be paying particular attention. Models the last few runs seem to be trending towards a SW to NE corridor from Vicksburg to Columbus as being the favored area.

Whoops ....

[starkvegasdawg]

Morning model runs are starting to come in and things aren't looking any better. Things are shaping up for another possible tornado outbreak Thursday. There's still a couple possible kill switches for it, but those are looking less likely the closer we get. No real change in my thinking as far as location goes. If anything, maybe a slight expansion back to the northwest to cover more of the delta.

[parabrave]

Here is your map. We are about to get the yearly flooding event here on the coast.

Scooba where is this map found, Also what is the site where you can find the tornadoes paths/tracks?

[starkvegasdawg]

The hi-res HRRR is coming in now showing the beginning of the Thursday event. Main threat area now looks to be anywhere north of I -20 and east of I-55. Now don't let your guard down if you're not in that area, but that looks to be ground zero as of right now. This could easily turn into a backyard storm chase for me.

[Churchill]

I think the most profound quote I've read this spring was a attributed a meteorologist (I forgot his name) when he said (paraphrasing) " I don't care what the forecast says, when a tornado is coming up YOUR street, it's your April 27, 2011 ". So when there's any chance tornadoes...I've got my antenna up !

I know James Spann says that a lot.

[starkvegasdawg]

Evening model runs continue to depict a probable high end tornado event Thursday afternoon. Parameters are better for this one than the high risk we had last week. Models are coming into good agreement of a more northern track of the low pressure center which will pull the threat a little further north and encompass most of central and northern MS...especially areas east of I-55. Model guidance is showing storms going severe late morning to early afternoon with discrete supercells being the primary storm mode. Any that do develop with have a good chance of going tornadic and at least some violent and long tracked ones are possible. I know I said the same thing last week and MS dodged a bullet, but the set up for this system is different. An extremely strong low level jet looks to be in place for the duration of the event and that will help the storms quickly go severe and rotate. One possible saving grace is that we may end up with too many storms forming and they end up choking each other down. That is due to there being very little convective inhibition, or cap, forecast and storms will be firing at will.

[starkvegasdawg]

The SPC has upgraded north and central MS to a moderate risk. This includes a 15% hatched threat for significant tornadoes. They are still mentioning storm mode will be discrete supercells.

I agree on hoping people aren't complacent. This is a completely different scenario than last week. While this one could bust it's not as likely. And something that hasn't been mentioned...these storms will be traveling 50-60mph. So if you go under a warning don't go outside trying to see the tornado. They will be on you before you know it - especially if you're depending on your radar app on your phone. Average radar lag time is 5 minutes so at these speeds the storms can be ahead of radar images by 4-6 miles.

[RocketDawg]

Vegas and Scooba - do you guys stay up all night?

Definitely some truth to this. And I absolutely appreciate what the guys on here do as I am fascinated by all weather types myself.

I wonder a lot about whether the weather is worse now than 25 yrs ago or if we just have so much technology and better understanding that it seems that way because we are more aware of everything goin on.

[starkvegasdawg]

SVD, I'm driving back to Starkville sometime later tomorrow afternoon. What time should all of this have moved out of the area? I'm coming from Memphis.

Models currently have the storms firing along the I-55 corridor around noon give or take and exiting into AL around 6:00.

I appreciate the technology. It's a huge help! It's just this whole level 3 alert day or level 4 alert day etc. is out of control. Kids are getting out early today here and it's not even raining or even warm. Maybe it's due to the trailer parks in MS. We all have a better shot of dying in wreck going to work, than getting hit by a tornado. And my place has just missed three or four in the last year. TV stations stay on the weather repeating the same thing over and over for hours. Geez, if people aren't smart enough to cover their asses, stop!

Weather isn't worse. We just have such good technology now we are better able to forecast it and the 24 hour news cycles puts everything that happens front and center. If it bleeds it leads.

Technology is great but still far from perfect... as seen last week. If the national weather service and all the groups that research could get better funding, I believe forecasting within few days could get even better. if the amount of data being observed with weather balloons, planes, and other instruments ...could grow a lot more,the data out would be even more accurate.

I strongly disagree with calling people "pussies" for respecting weather more now... Especially with what the pandemic taught us last year, school can be taught from home for a day if needed. just like there won't be snow days anymore.
I have no idea why any school in your area would be releasing early today though.. (i might be missing something though)

There is nothing wrong with tv stations staying on the air when there is an immediate danger to the counties they cover such as severe thunderstorm or a tornado warning. If you don't like the tv station you are watching. change the channel and see if the other channels aren't doing the same.

I mean you are kinda right, if people aren't smart enough to cover their asses..and learn a little about weather.. why should anyone help them.. why should anyone help anyone with anything in life???

Come on man...

My kid's ACT scores went down after distance learning. They shouldn't be out of school. And you can't make stupid people seek shelter if they just don't care. After a couple hours, it's pointless.

I can't speak to what happened to your kids. It could be the school or it could be you, and I ain't their parents nor know your life to judge you like that..

You can talk about how many stupid people don't care... but how about how many people it DOES help. It's been proven that deaths from weather are down thanks to technology advances.. from advance warning to the ability to alert people via texts or apps in seconds. It's far from pointless and is very important.

If you don't think they should be out of school.. do your diligence and make your voice heard. voice your objection to the school. then the school board... then your local government.. all the way up to the mayor if you like.

[starkvegasdawg]

SPC contemplating an upgrade of a high risk at the overnight update. Parameters still continue a major tornado outbreak tomorrow for east MS north of I-20. Two possible mitigating factors would be morning rain and clouds hanging around and not letting the sun through to reload the atmosphere and there being too many storms forming and fighting for energy leading to a messy rainy conglomerate. Any storms that can get out by themselves will be bad.

[starkvegasdawg]

From Jackson NWS:

Severe storms will be possible across the entire forecast area
Thursday. However, current high-res model trends continue to suggest
the area of best threat for the most intense and destructive fast-
moving super cells, will reside over the area mainly along and
northeast of a Grenada to Jackson to Meridian line. It`ll be here
that the best conglomeration of peak severe parameters in afternoon
heating are expected. Regardless, in the most intense storms,
tornadoes will be likely, with some of those tornadoes potentially
being strong and long-tracked. Damaging winds up to 80 mph and hail
greater than golf ball size are also possible.

Hearing some strong rumors that unless something changes in the next couple of hours expect an upgrade to a high risk for parts of MS and AL at the 1:00am update.

Also, of note the latest model trends are starting to show a capping inversion setting up over the area tomorrow. That is a double edged sword. It will keep the number of storms down from what it could be, but those that break the cap will be all by themselves and in an environment that will allow them to go nuclear.

Key ones with severe storms though.
Reflectivity.. Normal radar. Sometimes you need to shuffle to different tilts to get away from noise of the radar.

Velocity - shows wind speeds. Red is positive.. Winds coming to the radar. Green is negative and heading away from radar. I might be flipping those.

Quite often I flip between close radar sites to get the best view of the storms because can be a lot of noise especially with hail.

Correlation coefficient. This is the one I don't like looking at. You are looking for a change in color such as blue blocks near the storm. If there is stuff being thrown in the air, this is where you see it.. And can confirm a tornado on the ground.

Vertically integrated liquid... Shows hail and hail size.

Can break down lots more latter

How do you turn off the stupid alerts on the weather channel tv station??! I can't listen to a damn thing they are talking about due to the constant beeps about my flash flood watch that I'm not the least bit concerned about. I ended up having to change the channel. Can't watch the tornado weather in Bama.

I live in Alabaster and go to church in Helena. Just surveyed the damage. Looks like high end EF1 to low end EF2. Trees uprooted and snapped, power lines down. Got worse east of us and places like Pelham, Oak Mountain, Chelsea, and a few others are going to be worse off.

This was a very bad one.

Don't watch the weather channel would be my advice...

I hope you Bama Dawga are ok. Total destruction in some areas.

Got on the long track tornado that went through Centerville. Got a brief glimpse of it at but trying to catch it from behind in the rain. The damage path where it crossed 82 was two miles wide so it was a hell of a wedge tornado. That said, none of the damage we saw looked too bad. Lots of snapped trees, couple roofs peeled off, and a jackknifed 18 wheeler. Did hear a report of one family trapped in their home due to a tree falling on it.
