Tornado Count A Litter Higher After Thursdays Storms

The very active tornado season this year continued on Thursday along the northern Gulf coast. Several confirmed tornadoes reported on the ground in Mississippi and one in Alabama. This is the same weather system that brought all the severe weather to Texas and Louisiana the day before. There was a tornado reported on the ground in Forrest County, MS at Camp Shelby, and another tornado reported in Andalusia, AL with damage. Fortunately, there were no injuries to report after all the recent tornado deaths in the southern states.

Severe Weather Taking A Break This Weekend

This weekend looks to be a little more calmer severe weather-wise, especially for the Plains and Southern States. Actually, the severe weather pattern looks to be nil at least through until maybe mid next week nationwide, so this can give many in the south and hard tornado hit regions over the last few weeks time to get things cleaned up, and get their lives back into some type of order. Unfortunately for all my Fellow Storm Chasers out there, this is normally the very peal of tornado chasing in the central and Southern Plains. Mid May through until early June is prime Storm Chasing for Chasers, but maybe since the recent patters have been more like April rather than May, maybe June will be more like May this season.

Florida Wildfires Not As Bad At This Time

I’m happy to report that moisture levels have come up here in Florida, and the prime fire weather setup has relaxed some. There still remains several wildfires in Central and South Florida, but most are under some control or just about out. Were expected maybe some isolated lightning storms on Saturday with a weak front, but then a return to dry atmospheric conditions and breezy afternoons. This likely will once again increase the fire weather threat for much if not all of Florida next week.

Have a great Mid May weekend!
