lomcevak Enhanced now for some of southwest AL When can bham expect rain? Looks like the squall line and then redevelopment behind it? Should be in for an interesting day/night
Not sure on the Birmingham thing, just woke up after a late shift. From what I saw last night, it looked like this line would weaken and move east with another round of mixed mode storms (lines+ discrete). We'll see how that materializes. Last day of operations for VORTEX SE. maybe they'll actually get a good day
Storms tearing through Goodman, MS this morning: Also in Flora (NW of Jackson) the top of the water tower was blown off:
lomcevak got a question for you about the discussion for the SPC's extended outlook. ...DISCUSSION... Most of the extended period will generally be characterized by an amplifying trough over the central/eastern US, with an upstream ridge building over the Rockies. By next weekend, ensemble/deterministic guidance indicate the ridge will build towards the central US, as another amplified trough moves ashore the Pacific Coast. Does that mean it is going to be relatively quiet for at least a week in the midwest? Guessing the ridge moving towards the central US is what will bring some chances for more active weather?
Yeah, i just texted the MIL, says the FIL is not concerned. He's a rocket scientist with a dose of meteorological training to boot. So between you and him, I am no longer worried.
The weather people around here haven't hyped it up at all, but there's a potential tornado on the ground around Rogersville (near Athens) so I wouldn't feel too comfy if I lived north of Huntsville.
Generally, you want a trough moving into the central US or SE for active weather. Ridge typically implies quiet ish and/or warmer
It's kinda crazy hearing about pieces of wood being driven through concrete or brick by tornadic winds, but a straw through sheet metal is a new one for me
Re: the stuff in the SE. Atmosphere is pretty worked over. Not sure much severe will be possible behind the line
I grew up near there. That's actually WV, and about the least likely place on earth to have a tornado.
Yup. Also, I am dumb. LEAST likely place to have a tornado. We had one when I was in HS, the only one I can remember in WV ever growing up. Damage amounted to some oak trees getting the tops blown out and a corrugated shed getting destroyed.
The entire system behind the flooding and severe the past few days via radar and goes-16 visible. Low pressure in KS/OK
A woman in Eureka Springs, AR died from the flood waters because she jumped into a stream on an inner tube while a friend video taped her from his phone. She was found dead under a log this morning So many fucking idiots
