Severe Weather Threat - June 11th-15th, 2023

[JPWX]

Wouldn't be surprised to see tomorrow's risk get upgraded to Enhanced across parts of Central MS then another one Saturday for Oklahoma. Sunday could be a doozy too.

3 deaths in Perryton TX per fire chief. Deadliest TX Panhandle tornado in decades. From the damage I’ve seen, looks like a solid candidate for EF3.

The strongest tornado to hit north of Perryton, Texas was a F2 on May 4th, 1950. Another F2 occurred northeast of Perryton on July 3rd, 1967.

EF3 tornado on Apr. 22, 2010 18:46 PM CDT

Scattered thunderstorms developed over the central and eastern South Plains region of west Texas during the late afternoon and evening hours of the 22nd. These storms resulted in significant severe weather, including strong tornadoes, as they impacted portions of the extreme southeastern...

I never did see a debris couplet on the Pensacola tornado. So it might have stayed just off shore.

That's not what I saw. I lined it up with Google Maps and the couplet appeared to cross the island at the sandy area just west of the Pensacola Dog Beach.

The KMOB radar makes the velocity couplet look a little more east than KEVX. But after further examination I agree that it may have mostly stayed west of Dog beach and over sand, but also looks like it made a hard turn away. Lucky.

Probably a very impressive waterspout about to move onshore east of St Marks

Pretty significant tornado in rural Taylor county, Florida now

Confirmed in the warning, thankfully not a whole lot down there.

Missed it because I was working but things got pretty nuts in the FL panhandle. Multiple TDS’s and a PDS warning near the town of Perry.

ABC news is reporting that 2 of the fatalities in Perryton were in permanent structures and the 3rd may have been outdoors. As bad as the damage was at the trailer park it would be a sliver of good news if the safety plan there led to no additional deaths.

Also, one fatality in Pensacola, FL is being attributed to the tornado there, tree on a home.

Sad day yesterday overall.

And now a tornado warning for the western suburbs of Philly because I guess the mid-Atlantic felt like we were being left out of the party. Mother Nature is channeling her inner Oprah: you get a tornado, you get a tornado, you get a tornado!

You got to feel bad for those who had trips to Gulf Shores to Panama City Beach this week as the weather has gone beyond the typical summertime pop up storms.

I’m unsure if this has been posted yet or not, but here’s some intense footage of the Perryton tornado from Jeff and Kat Piotrowski.

Jeez, that's some violent motion.

The tornado that struck the Point Place community in Toledo, OH yesterday has been preliminarily rated a high-end EF2.

The tornado that struck the Point Place community in Toledo, OH yesterday has been preliminarily rated a high-end EF2.

The Monroe tornado was also confirmed as an EF1. I believe this is only the second tornado of the year for MI. We'll see if that low trend continues, sometimes there's a sudden uptick starting late June/early July.
