Calderon Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Honestly, this TOR E is probably not warranted at this point given the velocity presentation and it's clear that the CC expanding is debris falling in the forward flank downdraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderon Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 New TOR warning for cell that I mentioned earlier, and it looks mean as hell.

Calderon Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 4 minutes ago, Chinook said: The southern supercell near Vina, AL is ramping up with stronger rotation and a tornado warning. I'm really surprised BMX hasn't fired a warning for extreme northern Marion County because it is literally on the county line with Franklin that is HSV's responsibility. EDIT: Just as I hit submit, they put out a SVR warn for it at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0535 PM CDT Tue Mar 24 2020 Areas affected...northern AL and southern middle TN Concerning...Tornado Watch 61... Valid 242235Z - 250000Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 61 continues. SUMMARY...Tornado potential will likely maximize through 8pm CDT near the AL/TN border. A strong tornado is possible. DISCUSSION...Trends in KHTX VAD data show a strengthening of the wind field in the 2-3km layer during the past 1-2 hours. This trend seemed to be necessary in order for more organized low-level mesocyclone development. The intensification of flow is resulting in around 300 m2/s2 0-1km SRH per observed storm motions. Surface observations show temperature/dewpoint spreads around 10 deg F and reduced mixing compared to areas farther south. It continues to appear that the corridor for greatest tornado risk will focus near the AL/TN border with the stronger updrafts/supercells through the early evening.
