Fall..... otherwise known as 2nd season!

[Andy Wehrle]

The system progged for Wednesday would be looking downright dangerous right now if not for the forecast marginal CAPE values.



That begs the questions...

1.) Is this a lapse rate thing? Moisture return looks plenty adequate.
2.) Is that, in turn, an ENSO thing?

TornadoHQ says that there is a large tornado about 9 miles northeast of Pampa, Texas (or there was about 10 minutes ago)

I couldn't get out to chase today, but it looked pretty intense. I got to play recliner jockey and watch a couple of tornados on TVN Weather. Thanks to everyone who live streams their video. I know it takes away from your enjoyment, but is invaluable to those of us who can't be on the storm. Thank you

There were 2 supercells in that area, one following another. Both tornadoes passed a couple miles south of pampa but not without doing a good deal of damage.

Yeah, I heard that there was a gas leak and chemical spill. I really hope no one was killed...
Also, did anyone else notice how similar yesterday's Pampa tornado looked to the 4/14/2012 Lyons-Salina tornado?

Now that you mention it, it did a little bit.

Is the Pampa tornado's EF3 rating preliminary or final?

I believe it's a preliminary rating.

Any thoughts on today's Clarksdale, MS tornado? Apparently one person is in critical condition, but no reported deaths so far.

 

[Pete Kustra]

Damage reports and descriptors are coming in...several fatalities unfortunately
The Clarksdale-Holly Springs tornado was an absolute monster. It had a 100+ mile path, was nearly a mile wide at times and was on the ground for over 2 hours.

Looks like another enhanced risk for today in SW Texas. Only a 5% tornado probability, however, from central Texas into SE Oklahoma.
