This has been an unreal day, nearly 12 hours or so of non-stop tornado warnings across the South.

So far, it looks as if Murfreesboro has been the hardest hit area, right?

So far, it looks as if Murfreesboro has been the hardest hit area, right?

So far I believe so unless I missed one while I was away for a couple hours.

[Texas Snowman]

I think earlier tonight someone on the board had counted and there had been (at that time) 100 tornado warnings since mid-morning today.

I'd bet the number now is easily up near 150 the way they've been flying out tonight.

Wonder what the record is for most tornado warnings in a single day?

Cell approaching Waynesboro, GA from the NW has my attention right now. Very persistent rotational couplet and hook signature. May skirt the northern edges of town, but city is under the gun right now.

Another cell just E of Williston, SC also is showing some really robust rotation. This one is rain wrapped and especially dangerous at night.

[Dave]

Current Warning Count:

Tornado: 5
Thunderstorm: 6
Flash Flood: 0

Lowest count I've had in at least 10 hrs.

[btangy]

Latest mesoanalysis shows the storms entering a more stable area in S GA and SC where there is some convective inhibition. Storms will become more elevated in nature the next couple hours with primary threat being large hail and straight line winds.

DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 135...WW 136...WW 137...

DISCUSSION...CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND SPREAD
EWD TOWARD THE SC/NC COASTAL PLAINS IN ADVANCE OF THE MID LEVEL
TROUGH MOVING EWD FROM THE SRN APPALACHIANS. INSTABILITY IS
MARGINAL NEAR THE COAST...BUT COOLING MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES AND
SOMEWHAT STEEPER LAPSE RATES WILL SPREAD EWD AND CONTRIBUTE TO
SUFFICIENT DESTABILIZATION TO MAINTAIN THE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SEVERAL
MORE HOURS. STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL WINDS WILL SUPPORT DAMAGING
WINDS AS THE PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT OVERNIGHT...THOUGH MARGINALLY
SEVERE HAIL AND A BRIEF TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
