SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0700 PM CST Wed Feb 12 2025 Valid 130100Z - 131200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI INTO SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF ALABAMA... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are forecast through late tonight from southeast Louisiana through Alabama into western Georgia. The primary hazard will be the potential for a couple of strong tornadoes this evening into late tonight. ...Central Gulf Coast states into GA... Early evening surface analysis places a slow northward-moving warm front over south-central AL. Only minor northward progress is expected through late tonight into east-central AL and adjacent parts of far western GA, which is in agreement with short-term model guidance. A very moist airmass over the northern Gulf of America and coastal plain (south of the warm front) will maintain a fetch of weakly to moderately buoyant air for thunderstorm activity through tonight in the warm sector. The Slidell, LA 00 UTC raob showed 1700 J/kg MLCAPE whereas only 500 J/kg MUCAPE was sampled atop a cool/stable layer at Birmingham, AL. The main severe risk will continue to be supercells capable of tornadoes (possibly strong due to enlarged hodographs) across the Enhanced Risk area and shifting west to east through this evening into the overnight. Damaging gusts will also focus with any bowing line segments or embedded supercells that get engulfed in the eastward shifting band. Farther north, the airmass due to the residual wedge front over northern GA/north-central AL will be slow to modify. As a result, have annotated a small southward shift of tornado/wind probabilities and associated the categorical outlook. ..Smith.. 02/13/2025 Read more

This challenge this winter in Wisconsin was getting the snow to stick as warm temperatures melted it away. At the start of February, the state had a snow deficit of nearly 2 feet, and moderate drought covered parts of the Badger State. Snow has since accumulated, allowing the snowmobile trails to open.

WW 5 TORNADO LA MS CW 121805Z - 130200Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 5 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1205 PM CST Wed Feb 12 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southern and Central Louisiana Southern Mississippi Coastal Waters * Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 1205 PM until 800 PM CST. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop and increase into mid/late afternoon within a warm and increasingly moist environment. Damaging winds and a few tornadoes may occur through early evening. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles southwest of Fort Polk LA to Gulfport MS. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). 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. && AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 23030. ...Guyer Read more

MD 0090 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 5...6... FOR SOUTHEAST MS AND SOUTHWEST AL
Mesoscale Discussion 0090 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0511 PM CST Wed Feb 12 2025 Areas affected...southeast MS and southwest AL Concerning...Tornado Watch 5...6... Valid 122311Z - 130045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 5, 6 continues. SUMMARY...Primary tornado threat will persist near the warm front, especially with discrete/semi-discrete supercells that cross/remain anchored along it. A strong tornado is possible. DISCUSSION...Several supercells have occurred over the past hour, mainly from parts of south-central MS into southwest AL. The environment will remain quite conductive to low-level rotation, especially near/along the wavy west/east-oriented warm front that extends roughly from Simpson County, MS to Montgomery County, AL. Discrete and semi-discrete supercells that can continue to regenerate across eastern LA into southeast MS will be the most likely candidates for eventually sustaining a longer-lived tornado as they impinge on the vorticity-enriched warm front. Overall setup, with peak STP having increased to a 3 as of 22Z, should favor potential for a strong tornado. The northern extent of the tornado threat will be limited by cooler temperatures. Per early afternoon observed and RAP forecast soundings, as storms move north of the 65-66 F isodrosotherm, the tornado threat will diminish. Surface winds deeper into the warm sector across LA are slightly veered and modulating to some extent low-level hodograph curvature. ..Grams.. 02/12/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0089 CONCERNING WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION FOR EASTERN INDIANA INTO NORTHWEST OHIO
Mesoscale Discussion 0089 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0229 PM CST Wed Feb 12 2025 Areas affected...Eastern Indiana into northwest Ohio Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 122029Z - 130030Z SUMMARY...A mix of sleet and freezing rain is expected to overspread eastern Indiana and northwest Ohio over the next several hours. Freezing rain rates up to 0.03-0.05 inch/hour are possible. DISCUSSION...Precipitation associated with the warm advection branch of a deepening mid-level wave is beginning to overspread parts of central to eastern IN and southwest OH where surface temperatures remain near or below freezing. Recent upper-air analysis and forecast soundings show a weak warm layer aloft at around 850 mb atop of sub-freezing surface temperatures that should support some melting/re-freezing of hydrometeors. The weak warm nose will likely initially support a mix of sleet and freezing rain within a narrow swath from eastern IN into west/northwest OH where there is favorable overlap of sub-freezing surface temperatures and warm temperatures aloft. With time, continued warming near the 850 mb level should promote a gradual transition to primarily freezing rain through late afternoon/early evening. Freezing rain rates between 0.02 to 0.05 in/hour appear probable based on recent high-res guidance that has captured surface temperature trends well. ..Moore.. 02/12/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
