Potential Severe Weather tomorrow, 3-22-22 (Update: Tornadoes on ground in metro area) (4 Viewers)

Wind profiles were highly favorable for heavy rain and flooding. Parameter space was high but Meridional flow (South to north mid level flow) leads to slow moving squal lines and brief QLCS tornadoes. It’s pretty much the same setup that SPC always goes overboard with and end up with a busted forecast.

Thank you for the explanation. I am envious of your weather knowledge.

That was not a little, weak tornado. That's nightmare fuel.

Crazy thing is that New Orleans was in "only" a level 3 out of 5 on SPC's scale. My area today that got no tornadoes was a level 4. You just never know.

And there are videos all over Twitter for this. All monstrous.

I know man. I have to explain this to people every day when we put out a forecast. A guy asked me if the threat we have coming through tonight is as bad as what went through last Friday (FL Panhandle), he said it wasn't bad last week. I'm like dude, we forecast for the base and there was a tornado 10 miles away.
