Great Plains, Midwest, & Deep South Storm Season 2021

[cheezyWXguy]

Occlusion looks to be occurring, given the rapid curve northward and weakening of the debris ball.

Special Day 1 outlook expanded the high risk to the SW

Pardon ?

Hi Texas Snowman !

[ElectricStorm]

Special Day 1 outlook expanded the high risk to the SW

Pardon ?

I'm on mobile right now so I can't post it but they expanded the high risk further across AL

Apparently that monster tornado that affected places like Greensboro and Brent had inbound velocities of 150kts at one point. Not g2g, just inbound. Also Vrot of 107kts with radar detecting debris up to 23,000 ft. Exceptional radar presentation. I hope everyone in the path was taking cover and is safe.

Also, one of the chasers out there recently got into a car accident, his name is Steven MacLeroy. Hopefully everyone involved in that accident is unharmed as well.

Edit UPDATE: I had the chaser's name wrong, it's not James but Steven. He posted on Twitter that he's ok.

[ElectricStorm]

That thing was on the ground for like 100 miles...

Another threatening supercell about to cross the MS/AL border

James Spann had property damage to trees at his own home, though house is intact. Wow.

[ElectricStorm]

Another nasty hook echo near Clanton, AL. Probably about to drop another sigtor.

EDIT: now has a giant TDS

Hi Texas Snowman !

Hello Bunkertor!

[ElectricStorm]

Yet another PDS warning. This time for E AL near Wadley. About to cross into GA.

James Spann is an Alabama and a national treasure. If there was a purple heart for meteorologists, he earned one today. His home took a hit from one of the earlier tornadoes. He stepped off camera for a few minutes, made sure that his wife was ok, got back on camera and kept going. Much respect for Mr. Spann.

Yep. I grew up in Tuscaloosa and his voice was always comforting during tornado warnings. I got to meet him when I was in 5th grade, super nice guy.

Tor warned storm in KY is moving at *ahem* 100mph... Haven't seen that one before

[ElectricStorm]

Is it just not gonna stop? Debris ball approaching Newnan, GA. Long tracker with favorable conditions ahead of it approaching a major population center at night is a recipe for disaster. Once it gets past Newnan it will head towards the southern portions of the Atlanta metro...

EDIT: Tornado emergency for Newnan. Taking a direct hit. This is horrible

[Texas Snowman]

Looks like a direct hit on Newnan...at midnight.

[ElectricStorm]

This is going to get really close to Atlanta...

[Texas Snowman]

@MatthewCappucci — It appears that Newnan, Georgia was a direct hit by a serious to monster #tornado.

All indications suggest the circulation passed directly over the downtown area – Jefferson St., W. Court Square, etc.

The restaurants, businesses, etc.; radar indicates worst case scenario track.
