Tornado outbreak expected in deep south, on Christmas Day...

[RED-85-Z51]

just got a thing on Facebook from Reed Timmer, he is calling it the 2012 X-mas day Tornado outbreak already. Supposed to start in SE texas on X-mas eve, and intensify as it moves across Mississippi, LA, and into NW florida where it is expected to peak.

Wonderful..:issues:

[lspencer534]

Yep. And I'm in the path of it.

[vetteman9368]

Well isn't that wonderful.

[beadist]

Great....

[RED-85-Z51]

Not sure if its best to move things up to tomorrow...push them back to wednesday...or hope for the best and try to stick it out for tuesday, at this point.

On the bright side, you won't have to worry about taking down all your Christmas lights and decorations.

From the national weather service...


Statement as of 9:48 AM CST on December 23, 2012

... Severe storms possible on Christmas day...

A powerful low pressure system is expected to move across northern
Mississippi and Alabama on Christmas day... bringing a strong cold
front across the area. Unseasonably warm... moist and unstable air
will surge off the Gulf of Mexico and across the deep south ahead of
the front. Your forecasters at the local National Weather Service
office in Mobile see a substantial severe weather threat being
possible across southeast Mississippi... southwest Alabama and the
western-most areas of the Florida Panhandle on Christmas day.

The latest forecast data continues to suggest scattered strong to
severe thunderstorms will develop across the area through the
morning and afternoon hours on Christmas. There is the potential that
these scattered thunderstorms during the day could produce
tornadoes... some of them possibly strong. In addition... large hail
with these storms will be possible.

By late afternoon... a line of thunderstorms will likely form to the west
along the Interstate 59 corridor in Mississippi. That squall line of
thunderstorms will quickly move eastward to be located along the Interstate
65 corridor by early evening... then east of a Brantley/Luverne to
Destin line by late evening. The primary severe weather threat along
the squall line will be damaging straight line winds... large hail and
isolated tornadoes. The threat of severe weather is expected to end
Christmas night as the strong cold front moves through the area.

Stay tuned for further updates on this potentially dangerous weather
situation.

So we're going to have a system over N. Miss. and N. Ala. and another in S.E. Miss.? Dayum!

[mrvette]

Just stay the hell away from NE Florida/Jax/Orange Park......

:sadangel::kick::sleep:

[RED-85-Z51]

So we're going to have a system over N. Miss. and N. Ala. and another in S.E. Miss.? Dayum!

Its a huge and powerful low pressure thats developing, the core seems like it will be over arkansas, tennessee, and the front will come in across texas, through Louisiana, then it will start streaming in the warm air off the gulf...shits like throwing gas onto a fire...

Just heard that they are calling for 5 to 7 inches of snow here on Tuesday

[LisaJohn]

Oh no!

[carlton_fritz]

Just heard that they are calling for 5 to 7 inches of snow here on Tuesday
I've heard anywhere from nothing to 14 inches of snow.

[RED-85-Z51]

Last time they predicted this much weather for this area...was when that hurricane was headed this way. Tens of thousands evacuated, and mother nature basically sneezed on us.

[LisaJohn]

I have been told that we are an 8 out of 10 on the torcon rating for tomorrow. We were a 10 on April 27, 2011.

[Bucwheat]

Hope all this chit passes us all.

[carlton_fritz]

Dude just said the in house model has us getting 10 inches of snow by 8PM Wednesday.

[lspencer534]

[LisaJohn]I have been told that we are an 8 out of 10 on the torcon rating for tomorrow. We were a 10 on April 27, 2011.

The bad stuff is to start her about 9:00 tomorrow morning. I'll let you know what to expect...if I have power and if I'm still alive.

[Olustee bus]

Yep. And I'm in the path of it.

Yeah, me too in meridian!

Sucking is possible...but its REALLY going ot blow..

[LisaJohn]

My youngest son and Fletcher the cockapoo are survivors of the April 27 tornado. Kev says it was more suck than blow. Fletch hasn't told us anything about his experience.
Hope everyone is safe tomorrow.

[RED-85-Z51]

I prefer a little more suck than blow..to be honest, but as long as its wet and wild, im down for a ride.

Wait...what?

[carlton_fritz]

Radar shows one in Louisiana and 1 in Missississisisssissppi

You MIGHT want to rethink that.

[ApexOversteer]

Joe, if you're on I49 the closest you could possibly be to the storm is 100 miles. It's halfway to NO from Baton Rouge on I10 South, and is right at Covington/Mandeville on I12.

Unless you're driving like a complete schmuck, you're fine.

Nor here.

It's kinda creepy-calm here. The calm before the storm.

:ohnoes:

[RED-85-Z51]

They are initially saying the mobile twister was at least EF2

[RED-85-Z51]

The tail of the storm has consolidated itself down to a split end, the forward line is moving through mobile now, the stronger, larger rear line is just leaving mississippi/biloxi area.

You should head out in the gap between rain and wrap around snow. If there is one.

True. Although he's got a land line, he's got a cell as well. I'll give it another hour or so as it's only 7:30 there right now and he's a late riser.
