How about my first ever for #tornadotuesday, a stout EF-1 approaches my location near Edwards, MS on Dec 16th 2019

Farther east into the afternoon thermodynamics may gradually improve, this may set the stage for a somewhat uncommon cold season small hail event for the southeast with weak LL shear and deep, moist thermos through the HGZ, a tornado or two cannot be ruled out given frontal vorticity and stretching.

Thermodynamics will be... moist, with nearly saturated profiles and weak but sufficient lapse rates in place throughout.

The Right Entrance region weak lift and slight height falls which will enhance SW surface flow ahead of the cold front, the trailing end of a weak 850mb response will also be in place as a low deepens across the mid-atlantic. This will set the stage for long and unidirectional kinematic profiles.

A departing jet streak and sagging cold front will leave the potential for some marginal severe weather across the deep south and eastern seaboard on the 28th.

I was maybe 2-3mi south of I-80 on a hillcrest for the council bluff wedge, got super lucky on my positioning but almost got hit by it as I was escaping to the interstate 😂

A cigar shaped tornado occludes out the back of the supercell while a new tornado tried to touch down over some bluffs.
Just on the Nebraska side of the border, near La Grange, WY.

Though line-mean midlevel shear is a bit lackluster, low level shear winds are backed almost perfectly perpendicular. This allows for efficient development of HSI vorticies which are able to be stretched by existing low level instability.

I try not to chase at night as much anymore for… reasons related to the second photo, but night tors absolutely carry a special aura.

About 15min before yesterday's post, the Yuma, CO tornado presented as a bright white, dead vertical, stovepipe. Unfortunately poor route choices prevented me from being closer.

One of my all time favorite chases, this strong and slow moving, and meandering EF-3 tornado lasted 30min and took on many forms from a dusty wedge to a vertical stovepipe and this gnarly cone.

Trends in a stronger ML dry slot has presented the potential for a localized tornado outbreak across KS tomorrow.
Extreme Low level CAPE with strong shear and an tons of surface vorticity should present the potential for efficient tornado producers, I wouldn't rule out a few significant tornadoes.

From midnight tonight into mid-late morning tomorrow a severe weather shape will come together across the TX big country into SW and SC Oklahoma.

Hammon, OK is probably my top "Coulda Been" moment this year, I'm a sucker for the muted winter colors and the composition with the gnarled tree.
