I’ve never seen anything like this before. It can be quite tricky to get warnings out in time with all these brief spin up tornadoes in a QLCS. Not uncommon to put the wording for possible tornado into the severe thunderstorm warning, which is what I believe they did here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Protection Program Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Looks like it passed north of Clemson Univ? Though of course the campus is closed because of the Wuhan Flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 New TOR watch coming soon for VA/NC = https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0377.html Mesoscale Discussion 0377 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0340 AM CDT Mon Apr 13 2020 Areas affected...Parts of central and eastern North Carolina into southern Virginia Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 130840Z - 131015Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...Severe weather potential with an evolving squall line is expected to increase across the region through daybreak and beyond, accompanied by the risk for damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes. DISCUSSION...The southern portion of a deepening elongated surface cyclone, centered over the Great Lakes, will continue to shift across and east of the Appalachians through 11-13Z, ahead of the remnants of a vigorous short wave impulse approaching the Appalachians. Aided by strengthening southerly low-level flow, including 50-70 kt at 850 mb, moisture return is ongoing across much of the southern Mid Atlantic. Surface dew points are now rising through the mid/upper 60s across much of central and eastern North Carolina, and this moisture is expected to continue to advect northward ahead of the evolving squall line, into much of southern/eastern Virginia through daybreak into mid/late morning. This will contribute to boundary-layer destabilization sufficient to support at least the maintenance of vigorous convection, with continuing intensification possible, accompanied by the the risk for damaging wind gusts and a few embedded tornadoes. ..Kerr/Thompson.. 04/13/2020 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Tigerchick224 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Multiple homes destroyed in Seneca, SC. I am afraid to see what damage we will see in a few hours. I read where debris was lofted at least 18k feet. Not good at all.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 118 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 500 AM EDT Mon Apr 13 2020 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Central and eastern North Carolina Northeastern South Carolina South central and southeastern Virginia Coastal Waters * Effective this Monday morning from 500 AM until NOON EDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible SUMMARY...A pre-frontal squall line with embedded bowing segments and supercells will continue to move east-northeastward through the morning toward North Carolina and southern Virginia. Additionally, convection forming in the open warm sector will also have the potential to develop supercell structures. The pre-frontal squall line has a history of tornadoes and damaging winds, and these threats are expected to persist and spread into the watch area through the morning.
