I wonder if they’ll extend the warning further east

Tornado or not looks like I’m in for a nice storm in an hour or so.

MS River tends to weaken these some

They've been slow to all night. Hell, they had "Confirmed tornado on the ground" language, but chose to extend as a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. When they went with a Tornado Warning finally, they just threw it in the middle of the STSW polygon. They must have the B team working tonight.

Who is they in this case? Because the local meteorologists around here are borderline, um, special

NWW Jackson

Still better than Memphis a couple weeks ago who issued a tornado warning, posted a polygon, and completely missed the storm with it. They just left it and let the rotation come to it. It was near the MS/AL state line. When it crossed the state line, NWS Huntsville went with a Severe Thunderstorm. That was after NWS Memphis did its whole "there is a tornado" deal in the warning discussion.

Jackson. Just pulled in the backside of the warned area without extending the frontside. Radar couplets not looking tight. Hope it means a windy nothingburger for you, but still you stay safe, OK?

Still no mention of the spotter confirmation. How the hell do you go "Radar confirmed tornado on the ground" and "there is a tornado on the ground doing damage" to a spotter-confirmed tornado on the ground, with an actual brief TDS on radar, but go back to "a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado"? It makes no sense!

Gonna move over to Columbus radar to take a look...

ETA: still too far away. So why in this modern world do we not have radars spaced every 30 miles or so? Just wondering...

KDGX will give you the best look at Velocity. There's a secondary rotation showing up, maybe. It is to the South of the one that has carried the warning.

ETA: My image hosting has shite the bed tonight, so I can't post screen grabs. That, or the internet is just shite where I am.

Damn. Can you post the exact location of TDS? Northern one will get very close to me

Approaching Leland. Given the delay in radar analysis, it's close. Stay safe and let us know if you are OK.

Just Southwest of Hollandale. About 3 frames ago.

It looks like the southern rotation is taking over now. NWS Jackson nailed that polygon, though. It accounts for both areas of rotation.

TDS should be near Hollandale not Leland?
