2 of the 3 I’ve witnessed were in a duck blind on catahoula lake. Area is like a mini tornado alley.

What lends to this area being a mini tornado alley?

Wouldn't be Christmas without a couple of severe warnings along the gulf coast.

Got an interesting pattern for the eastern US going into the heart of January too.

We get a lot of shear in the fall to spring, makes things really spinny. The instability isn't typically like the plains but with the warm air supply from the gulf you can get enough to take advantage of the spin.

You can get some sneaky strong low level instability (rising air) near and south of warm fronts. Nashville back in March was a good example. High shear and modest instability but all of it was loaded near the ground along the warm front.

Lol

Sorry - trying to figure out if eggnog tastes better with rum or whiskey

And I wanted to see what was going on with the weather - and there are always some really good weather observations on this board
