User blog:Hurricane Layten/A PDS IN JANUARY???!!?!?

OK, so i thought id check out the storm reports and previous tornadic alerts form overnight, and i find that tornado watch 17 was a PDS, with most of the warning criteria maxed out.A 90% probability for tornadoes, and an 80% chance for EF2+ tornadoes for parts of AL and MS. I'm actually pretty surprised that a High Risk wasnt issued overnight,with the chances for tornadoes being that high, but nevermind.

It seems worth mentioning that numerous reports of tornadoes with significant debris on radar and on the ground says that intense to violent tornadoes have occurred overnight, with the possibility of the tornado around midnight in LA being at least an EF2 if its confirmed, having been on the ground for close to 45 minutes on radar imagery.

The NWS SPC seems to be keeping the advisory at Moderate Risk for now, and i wouldnt be surprised to see the new outlook be a Moderate at midday, as radar is already showing supercells capable of producing tornadoes across much of northern FL and GA, and even parts of SC.

Ill be monitoring this again today, and will post or update as the situation continues.
