funny how we have been talkling about this stubborn weather patter... like andy n toot n i have been talking about.. accuweather s senior met. jack boston says this pattern will break by mid april... we see, he suppose to be a long range guru of some sort... he is saying the tornadoes will pick up big time. maybe someone can post this over from accuweather. guess we will see...

by **andyhb** 2012-03-30, 9:31 pm

Accuweather always posts bullish nonsense, although might be a bit different long range wise, but I know Henry Margusity often posts some of the most overblown severe wx forecasts on the planet.

You all are in the bullseye over there, watch out for VERY LARGE HAIL!

AREAS AFFECTED...ERN TN...WRN NC...EXTREME NWRN SC

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 011831Z - 012000Z

STRONG BOUNDARY LAYER HEATING CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF TN INTO
EXTREME WRN NC WHERE LATEST OA FIELDS SUGGEST SFC-3KM LAPSE RATES
ARE IN EXCESS OF 8 C/KM. VIS IMAGERY SUPPORTS THIS DEEPENING
BOUNDARY LAYER PER AN EXPANDING CU FIELD SOUTH-WEST OF DECAYING KY
MCS. ALTHOUGH THIS MCS HAS WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY OVER THE LAST FEW
HOURS IT APPEARS THUNDERSTORMS WILL SOON DEVELOP ALONG THE SRN
PERIPHERY OF THE THICKER CLOUD CANOPY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MCS WITHIN
AN ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY MODEST NWLY FLOW/SHEAR...CERTAINLY
SUPPORTIVE OF AT LEAST ORGANIZED MULTI-CELL UPDRAFTS. LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE THREATS. WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS REGION FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE TSTM WATCH.

Yep. 2 of my neighbors were out mowing their yard and we had a big thunder clap and they went running. lol, that was funny. Lots of loud thunder and it's wind'n hard.

by **Stovepipe** 2012-04-02, 5:58 pm

This thing is just sitting on Knox county not really moving much. The cell seems to be back building over to my area. Getting wind and fundering now.

by **tennessee storm09** 2012-04-02, 8:30 pm

looks like a decent organzied mcs heading towards sw tennesssee later tonight... if it holds together... as some upper level energy passes by west tn later wed. there is enough shear and directional shear to produce a iso tornado threat... this pattern seems to be breaking as we head into next week.

No problemo...where is the shop?...lol

...TN/MS/AL/GA/SC...
THIS OUTLOOK WILL MAINTAIN LOW SEVERE PROBABILITIES FOR A LARGE AREA
GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ISOLATED THREAT FOR HAIL AND LOCALLY
STRONG WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES INTO
TN/GA/SC. STRONG HEATING WILL LEAD TO AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE OVER A
LARGE AREA...BUT VERY WEAK TROPOSPHERIC WINDS WILL FAVOR
MULTICELLULAR/PULSE-TYPE STORMS. THE LACK OF A FOCUSED AREA OF
CONCERN PRECLUDES HIGHER SEVERE PROBABILITIES AND THE NEED FOR A
CATEGORICAL RISK AT THIS TIME.

by **Adam2014** 2012-04-03, 7:46 am

No Problemo Dude!! Very Happy

by Vanster67 2012-04-03, 8:03 am

The latest Tor-Con from Dr. Forbes has west, middle TN at a 2 for today, with west TN at a 4 Tomorrow.

by **Adam2014** 2012-04-03, 8:23 am

Lol a 4 is way higher then I would think. But they are the experts!

by Vanster67 2012-04-03, 8:51 am

Experts are sometimes wrong. Sometimes... yikes

I just read where Twin Tornadoes hit the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. They said Dallas is in an Tornado Emergency right now. Several homes have been destroyed. I think it just happened so I haven't heard reports of any casualties. Praying that several of my friends in that area are okay. Sad
