Severe Weather Threat May 7-10, 2024

[CannedHeat]

NWS confirmed two separate EF1 tornadoes with the storm near Charlotte NC. Here is a pretty cool time-lapse of the supercell structure.

The storms look likely to congeal into a nasty mess (HRRR is on this idea, too). We'll see how that influences the micro-interactions. Looks like quite a few of them have hail cores too, so watch out for that.

I live in west Tuscaloosa county and watched a storm merger. Well I think that’s what I saw anyways. About 15 minutes or so ago before I lost power for a bit.

Looks like San Marcos is about to get some big hail even if that TOR warned storm isn’t producing (doesn’t look like it is).

We've been watching because if you get a hail storm like they are out here one time, you start watching for the next time.

Everything is bigger in Texas, including the hail…

 

[Clancy]

Big hail near Springville, AL.

Temp dropped to 77. No moss beards today I tell you huwhat (Hank hill voice)

thankfully a lot less fatalities from tornadoes compared to this Time last year. Biggest outbreak of intense tornadoes was over rural areas april 26-27.

10 fatalities came from like 4 or 5 EF3 and 2 fatalities from both EF4 tornadoes from this year. There have been a lot of tornadoes but none did damage like the Rolling Fork, MS EF4 tornado from, last year. That tornado killed 17 people. Another 3 or 4 fatalities from this year came from EF1 and EF2 tornadoes.

Yeah. I am aware. Also less tornado outbreaks in south this year, that makes a big difference.

Point being, not a lot of long long track ef3 plus tornadoes in populated areas, or not at dark? Idk what factors are this spring for less fatalities. Last year was awful, 83 I believe for year.

In true 2024 fashion, an EF1 wedge.

It is a good thing but no fatalities would be nice but when your dealing with EF3'S and EF4'S they usually tend to be more deadlier than EF2 or less tornadoes. When your dealing with high-end EF4 or EF5 tornadoes those are usually the most deadliest.

 

[Shakespeare 2016]

There has only been like 13 long tracked tornadoes from this year(25+ miles) with the longest track being 42 miles from an EF2 tornado on April 16th,

Gotcha. Yeah I thought wasn’t to many. Wonder why

 

[TornadoFan17]

Haven't really been able to keep up with today. Is the timing meant to be overnight, or has today just (thankfully) been pretty quiet up until this point?

 

[Shakespeare 2016]

Gotcha. Yeah I thought wasn’t to many. Wonder why

There were 17 af this time last year with two of them having 80+ mile tracks.

I don't know much but maybe boundary lines, well defined supercells getting eaten up by a squall line, or maybe inflow outflow boundaries etc.
