Tornado Watch

 


So far Northwest Alabama is included in this Tornado Watch after all. And it does stretch up to Nashville.

Guess I'll stay up and post updates here as needed after all. 

12:25 AM - And here's the latest from NWS Nashville. It's wild to see temperatures around 80 degrees after midnight and dewpoints up in the 60's in April. 

And here's a spiffier-looking Tornado Watch graphic, for collectors.

   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED

   Tornado Watch Number 104

   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

   1135 PM CDT Wed Apr 2 2025


   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a


   * Tornado Watch for portions of 

     Northwest Alabama

     Central and Eastern Kentucky

     Northern Mississippi

     Middle Tennessee


   * Effective this Wednesday night and Thursday morning from 1135

     PM until 600 AM CDT.


   * Primary threats include...

     A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes likely

     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely

     Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter likely


   SUMMARY...A line of strong to severe thunderstorms will persist

   through the night across the watch area.  While a slow overall

   weakening trend is expected, very strong wind fields and sufficient

   instability will maintain some risk of isolated severe storms for

   several more hours.  Locally damaging winds and isolated tornadoes

   are the main concern.


   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles

   east and west of a line from 60 miles east northeast of Lexington KY

   to 30 miles south southwest of Oxford MS. For a complete depiction

   of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS

   WOU4).


   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...


   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for

   tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch

   area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for

   threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements

   and possible warnings.


   &&


   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 98...WW 102...WW 103...


   AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail

   surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind

   gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean

   storm motion vector 24035.
