Daily General Weather Discussion Thread #24

It won't be long until severe weather season starts kicking in. How long do y'all think it'll be until our first tornado or severe thunderstorm watch is issued for SELA? I'm going with the first week of February.

Wow, I was not aware of that. I guess I've been paying so much attention to the cold that it slipped by me. Keep us posted! Snow and cold are fun and all but I don't mess around with tornadoes. Give me severe hail, hurricanes, and just about any other weather but a tornado is where I draw the line. They're too unpredictable and I've seen the devastation they cause up close and personal before. DO NOT want tornadoes.

That is super cool and mesmerizing. 

Very interesting to watch the patterns in the different seasons.

One thing that stood out was the tornado warnings in the deep South compared to the Midwest in 2017. Certainly appeared like there were many more tornado warnings in the south this past year than anywhere else. 

Hope that trend ends in 2018.

I wish the video inclided all watches and warnings... not just tornado. Looks like severe thunderstorm watches and warnings also were not i included...unless i am mistaken?

The yellow boxes are the severe t'storm watch boxes.  Red is Tornado watch.

whats the strength? strong to severe ?

Yea, mostly just heavy rain...possibly some training. Where that training sets up could lead to flash flooding overnight Sunday night.
