Hi! I’m Giovanni, you can call me Gio though. I am a meteorology student at Virginia Tech, Class of 2026. I am a huge tornado history/damage nerd and love forecasting. I am also a rollercoaster nerd and a diehard fan of the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles. Also love NASCAR as well.
This tornado, which impacted Spencer, Tennessee in Van Buren County on November 10, 2002, has been DOWNGRADED from F2 to F1 (a little different, huh?). The downgrade is based on a reanalysis of high-resolution satellite imagery and storm reports, per NWS Nashville. #TNwx

First post here!

The next few days across New Mexico and WTX look intriguing for severe potential, especially Saturday/Sunday. On Saturday, synoptics look favorable for supercells, but some concerns exist with mid level temperatures. Moisture concerns due to the position of the ridge exist as well.
