Kmlwx Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Unreal if this were to become a watch all at one time... I don't think I have ever seen a Tornado watch to cover so much real estate for one watch..... While it is large it's not super big. There have definitely been larger ones. I can think of a few in the plains and then some in the NE at least in my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of a few in the plains and then some in the NE at least in my memory. I figured there had to have been larger watch areas.... In my brief time hard core following storms I have never seen a watch area that size. Looking forward to tomorrow afternoon/evening action around my neck of the woods!

Cheeznado Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Parameters weaken as the front approaches GA tomorrow at 18-21Z, but I expect a few severe reports and perhaps a tornado- l will monitor for a possible chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm ready! It does look like it will be in the 2-6pm time frame for us. Plenty of time to warm up the atmosphere! So far, I'm seeing 61dBZ returns from the Memphis radar from my GRL3 radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanc2001 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 am sure the 'ol seabreeze front will squash any potential severe before it gets to the beach. Water temps still in upper 40s. Our biggest severe threats are in summer and fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yep, dew point rising here, almost 60 now and rising about 3 degrees per hour. We could be getting close to the mid to upper 60's by the time the storms get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be getting close to the mid to upper 60's by the time the storms get here. I'm just hoping they actually get here. Pretty pitiful looking out west of us. Could just be the calm before the storm though. Sun should come out in our areas shortly (if it hasn't already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Has there been a recent change to GR3 data? I can only get the BR 0.5° tilt. 1.5°, 2.5° and 3.5° all come up blank on radar returns, but show the storm tracks and warnings. Same for BV.

audioguy3107 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 New day 1 outlook from SPC has removed the moderate risk from all areas...still looks like we could get some fireworks if we can get the cap to break. So far holding strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL_Militarypolice Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 SPC got rid of Moderate They still have 10% hatched over portions of N AL into S TN/NW GA. 30% Damaging winds covers a large portion. http://www.spc.noaa....k/day1otlk.html As mentioned on another board winds have shifted more Unidirectional too early, thus leading to a greater damaging winds threat. Although tornadoes are still possible, in the leading edge or embedded in possible scroll-line, or discrete cells that happen to develop out ahead of any linear storms that decide to develop if we can break the CAP soon. Overall tornado threat potential is lower, at least in regards to strong tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail with decent lapse rates in place seem the greatest threats.
