Title: Widespread Severe Weather Outbreak
Post by: Atomic Cow on November 17, 2013, 06:14:51 am
Many don't realize that October and November actually carry a good chance of severe weather as the same conditions in March-June exist (warm air from the Gulf and cold air moving south) albeit to a slightly lesser extent. There is almost always at least one severe weather outbreak in the fall. Looks like this one might be it. So, one more live thread for severe weather this year. Hopefully the last and not very active. However, with the way I'm seeing the experts and storm chasers talking, they're worried it will be bad. A good chance for some "Particularly Dangerous Situation" tornado watches to be issued.
DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1152 PM CST SAT NOV 16 2013
VALID 171200Z - 181200Z
...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS OF ERN IL...IND AND FAR SW LOWER MI...
...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS OF IL...LOWER MI...OH...IND...KY AND WRN TN......
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE MID TO UPPER MS VALLEY...OH VALLEY...SRN GREAT LAKES AND TN VALLEY...
...TORNADO OUTBREAK WITH MULTIPLE SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES AND WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS EXPECTED ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND SRN GREAT LAKES REGION TODAY...
AN IMPRESSIVE NEGATIVELY-TILTED UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND POWERFUL 80 TO 100 KT MID-LEVEL JET WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NCNTRL U.S. TODAY. AT THE SFC...A LOW WILL TRACK NEWD INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AS A COLD FRONT ADVANCES EWD INTO THE MID TO UPPER MS VALLEY. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...STRONG MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL OCCUR DUE TO A WELL-DEVELOPED AND BROAD 60 TO 75 KT LOW-LEVEL JET. AN EXTENSIVE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BE ONGOING ALONG THE ERN EDGE OF THE LOW-LEVEL JET FROM NE AR NEWD INTO SRN IND AT DAYBREAK WITH THIS ACTIVITY MOVING EWD AWAY FROM THE INSTABILITY AXIS THIS MORNING. FURTHER TO THE WEST...THE LOW-LEVEL JET WILL TRANSPORT LOW TO MID 60S F SFC DEWPOINTS INTO THE MID MS VALLEY AND OH VALLEY RESULTING IN A CORRIDOR OF MODERATE INSTABILITY FROM NE AR NNEWD INTO CNTRL IL BY MID MORNING. DUE TO STRONG LARGE-SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH...SFC-BASED CELL INITIATION SHOULD OCCUR AHEAD OF THE FRONT BY MID MORNING ACROSS NRN AND CNTRL IL WITH STORM COVERAGE EXPANDING EWD INTO IND AND LOWER MI BY EARLY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH CELLS MAY REMAIN DISCRETE THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON...THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SQUALL-LINE APPEARS LIKELY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE OH VALLEY WITH THE LINE DEVELOPING SWD INTO THE TN VALLEY DURING THE EARLY EVENING.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS AT URBANA IL AND INDIANAPOLIS IND IN THE 18Z TO 21Z TIMEFRAME SHOW SBCAPE NEAR 1500 J/KG...0-6 KM SHEAR AROUND 70 KT...LOW-LCL HEIGHTS AND LONG LOOPED HODOGRAPHS SUGGESTING SUPERCELLS AND TORNADOES WILL BE LIKELY AS DISCRETE CELLS INTENSIFY. 0-3 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITIES OF 400 TO 450 M2/S2 WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR STRONG TORNADOES WITH SEVERAL LONG-TRACK DAMAGING TORNADOES EXPECTED TO OCCUR FROM ERN IL ENEWD ACROSS MUCH OF WRN AND CNTRL IND FROM LATE MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. AS CELL COVERAGE INCREASES AHEAD OF THE FAST MOVING FRONT...A SQUALL-LINE SHOULD ORGANIZE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LINE ALONG WITH TORNADOES WITH ROTATING CELLS EMBEDDED IN THE LINE. THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD RAMP UP SOUTH OF THE OH RIVER DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AS CELLS INITIATE SWD ALONG THE FRONT. THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND DAMAGE AND TORNADOES SHOULD DEVELOP AS A FAR SOUTH AS THE TN VALLEY DURING THE EVENING AS AN EXTENSIVE LINE OF SEVERE STORMS MOVES EWD INTO THE UPPER OH VALLEY AND CNTRL APPALACHIAN MTNS.
SEVERAL FACTORS APPEAR TO BE COMING TOGETHER FOR A TORNADO OUTBREAK ACROSS THE OH VALLEY. THE FIRST FACTOR IS THAT THE SYSTEM IS NEGATIVELY-TITLED AND VERY WELL-ORGANIZED. THE SECOND IS THAT THE LOW AND MID-LEVEL JETS WILL BECOME FAVORABLY COUPLED IN THE OH VALLEY TODAY COINCIDING WITH AN OUTBREAK OF STORMS ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR. THE THIRD IS THAT SUPERCELLS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN DISCRETE INTO THE MID-AFTERNOON. THESE FACTORS COMBINED WITH EXTREMELY FAVORABLE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES JUSTIFIES THE ISSUANCE OF A HIGH RISK ACROSS ERN IL...IND AND SW LOWER MI.

Atomic Cow, I am most reluctant to disagree with you as I admire and appreciate your contributions on here, but this is just so much ObamaSpeak: Many don't realize that October and November actually carry a good chance of severe weather as the same conditions in March-June exist (warm air from the Gulf and cold air moving south) albeit to a slightly lesser extent. There is almost always at least one severe weather outbreak in the fall. Looks like this one might be it.
If severe weather occurs anywhere this fall it will be due to climate change.

we got 7 inches of snow last night and 7.5 the night before. Yet we get 6ft to9ft of snow each season. If this sticks it will be early for us.

Myst, remember the rules for tornadoes. Don't wait to hear/see it before taking cover. The best place is either a basement or interior room and over yourself with pillows, a mattress, or something to cover your head.

Seems for the moment that the tornado threat has subsided. I'll keep an eye on things and update the thread as needed, but I've got some stuff to do. Anyone else, please feel free to post any updates.

Power went out, then came back on. The flat screens took a long time to reload, so had to watch the old television, since it came back on right away. Sometimes, I wish I had all of them back.
It's dark and windy, and we are still under a tornado watch. When it goes to a warning, will go to my son's.

Don't wait for a warning. Usually by that time it is too late. If there is any chance of a tornado and his location is safer, I would go now.

My son will call me when the time is right. He lives on the other side of my back yard. We live in adjoining cul de sacs going in the opposite directions. I put a gate between us for better access. I'm putting the cat's in the main bathroom that has no windows, and is not connected to the outside.

Do you have a pipe access under the bath? If you do, open it and half fill the tub with water.

Nah - cats are smart. They'll hide under the tub if they can - the water is just ballast.
I have a linen closet in the bathroom where they can huddle. I'd take them with me, but my son has a 35 lb cat and a Boston Terrior (terror). They obviously don't get along. :laugh:

CNN PRODUCER NOTE Anthony Khoury says he and his family were in their home in Washington, Illinois, when his father thought he heard a helicopter flying overhead. Khoury and his parents turned to look out the window only to see a tornado barreling through their neighborhood.
'The tornado happened in my backyard and you can hear people screaming. We were freaking out,' he said. Khoury stood by the window documenting the tornado as it passed through. He says he started praying while capturing the video. 'I'm a man of faith,' he said.
The 21-year-old says after the tornado dissipated, he and his family went outside to survey the damage. He says to their surprise their home was not affected by the tornado, but unfortunately the surrounding neighbor faced a lot of damage. 'It was complete destruction. There are people in the streets crying,' he explained. 'We're so blessed that our street was untouched. You drive out of my street and all this destruction is there. A mile away it is all destroyed,' he said. - Jareen, CNN iReport producer

CHICAGO (CBS) – A tornado has torn through Washington, Illinois, which is east of Peoria in Tazewell County.
“There’s quite a few people that are hurt. Their houses are gone.”
Washington Ill. Alderman Describes Devastation In Wake Of TornadoWBBM Newsradio's Steve Miller 00:00 WBBM spoke with Washington, Illinois, Alderman Tyler Gee.
“I went over there immediately after the tornado, walking through the neighborhoods, and I couldn’t even tell what street I was on. Just completely flattened – some of the neighborhoods here in town. Hundreds of homes.”
Alderman Gee says he went door-to-door, yelling in windows. He said he heard banging on a wall.
“I had to climb in through the window. The front door was blocked shut. I climbed in and there was debris up against the bathroom door that she was in… I had to get the debris out to open the door.”
Gee says he is part of the Emergency Services and Disaster Agency response team in that area, and unbeknownst to him, he was in the path of the storm.
He moved locations, he says. “And that was a very, very good decision. It went right through where I was sitting in my pickup truck. It was unbelievable.”
“All I can ask for is a bunch of prayers from everybody… we’re going to need them.”
Illinois EMA has confirmed one person has died in Washington County and 43 people have been hospitalized in the Peoria area.
A tornado was also reported in Coal City, IL around 12:15 p.m., causing heavy damage to buildings and downed power lines.
According to CoMed, around 79,000 in the Chicago area are without power.

Good to hear that you're OK.
We have a tornado watch until midnight (it's very windy and raining here), but it still looks like most of it will miss us.

We missed the brunt of the storm. I hope the surrounding towns are as lucky. We have storm warnings until 8PM, and a high wind warning, but that's about it. Prayers for all who got caught up in it.

From the looks of the radar, it's pretty much past you. I'm not sure what's going to go on here, but we're getting heavy rain with wind, and it doesn't look like it's going to get any worse since the line of storms is also going north as it goes east.
Tornado watch until midnight, but I doubt there's going to be a problem here.

Looks like it's over. The storms have become more of a squall line rather than super cell storms.
There are currently no active tornado warnings at this time.
One of the advantages of November storms like this is that because there is so much less daylight, there is less energy to destabilize the atmosphere and fuel storms like this, so they don't last as long.
That being said, there is a "local maximum" of thunderstorm and tornado events in November compared to other months around it, mainly because you have that cold air from the Arctic starting to descend, and when that clashes with warm air, you get the chance for storms. (Captain Obvious would be proud.) Still, because it's so much less solar energy, it's nowhere near as much the peak in springtime.
What's left of the storm is about to sweep through my area in a few minutes.
