ATL: MILTON - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Texashawk]

There are now 12 active tornado warnings over south-central Florida.

The one saving grace about the tornado situation is that it’s during the day. When we went through Harvey, Beryl, and Ike (all at night of course!) the tornado warnings were issued so fast and the tornados were so quick that you didn’t have time to decide to go to your shelter - if you were under the tornado warning you had to shelter because there was no time or way to verify the situation. Cold comfort, but it’s something.

Another PDS tornado warning

The tornado outbreak will almost certainly be the largest in Florida history, and may actually become one of the top ones in American history at the rate we are going. These are big nasty EF3+ tornadoes we are seeing in many cases if I were to guess. And these are approaching Orlando.

Time to wobble watch and see if it does a land dance on approach. I’ve warned as many people as I can. Time to watch and see. Prayers for the bay area all the way down.

These are some big-ass tornadoes. Something one would see in the Midwest, not in a hurricane,

There are debris balls showing up in some of these tornados in PB, Martin and St Lucie Counties. Unheard of down here. Our local mets are, understandably, freaking out. 10 active tornado warnings in our viewing area

One last thought: I know there’s been a lot of shade thrown at this man the last few days, but Ryan Hall excels at covering and tracking tornado outbreaks. I think this is his niche and he is fantastic at it. He may be worth a view right now with what’s going on with the tornadoes and supercells. YMMV!

Ryan Hall, Max Velocity and Evan Fryberger are all pretty good. I tune into them a lot during tornado season. Milton is the hurrcane x tornado WX community crossover special.

Honestly, everything meteorologically about Milton is downright insane. From track, to intensity, to it starting an extratropical transition in the Gulf, to it's tornado outbreak.

Meteorological Madhouse Milton.

Trying to close off the eyewall again. Pointing towards Tampa Bay.

I was looking forward to taking a nap here in Orland for a couple of hours before tonight, I guess not.

That radar loop looks like it's grinding right toward Sarasota. Getting wet and wild here. It's plenty for me but I don't get a say. I'm just along for the ride

For we old timers, Alicia too.

But this is an sig tor warning. Might have been 2005 last time that came with a hurricane.

They keep talking on the weather channel about landfall very late tonight, but looking at radar, it sure looks like it's going to come in sooner then that.

Stay safe....check in with us when you can. Godspeed.

[StormPyrate]

looks like the official track may be a tad south, the radar center looks like its consitently on the north side at a time it should be turning east

It sure does look more like 8-9pm unless it slows noticeably
