The title seems way too bullish (tornado outbreak likely?) but after early this afternoon maybe not so much; I consider 6 confirmed tornadoes an outbreak.

The title seems way too bullish (tornado outbreak likely?) but after early this afternoon maybe not so much; I consider 6 confirmed tornadoes an outbreak.

I don't. That's more like a typical spring system. When you get up into the 20s and 30s, then you're talking outbreak.

Yeah, it's disastrous if you're under one of those 6, that's for sure.


Is your count of 6 today only, or does it include yesterday?

Dixie continues to be the new tornado alley, unbelievable. Even with so so parameters they over-perform compared to what the models were showing for them. Prayers for those effected, but there is little doubt this region has established itself as tornado capital of America at least the past 3+ years any time of the year.

Wow I did not see that kind of violent tornado happening today It was very well defined on radar and the video I have seen of the tornado it was large and violent.

[Cyclenall]

The title seems way too bullish (tornado outbreak likely?) but after early this afternoon maybe not so much; I consider 6 confirmed tornadoes an outbreak.

I don't. That's more like a typical spring system. When you get up into the 20s and 30s, then you're talking outbreak.

Yeah, it's disastrous if you're under one of those 6, that's for sure.


Is your count of 6 today only, or does it include yesterday?

Well I think I remember reading 6 as being the official number for what is an outbreak, I agree with the 20s and 30s for it feeling like a true outbreak. The count is for 1 day only I believe.

[EF-5bigj]

From the reports im seeing the tornado was at minimum a EF-3 at minimum

[vbhoutex]

From the reports im seeing the tornado was at minimum a EF-3 at minimum

Please link those reports instead of just making a statement about it. That will allow all of us to see the reports and possibly learn from them.
