Bronquote:First U.S. Tornadoes of 2014 hit Virginia and Georgia
A modest severe weather outbreak over the Southeast U.S. on Saturday, January 11, brought the first tornadoes of 2014: three to Virginia, and one to Georgia:
1. EF-0 tornado near Waleska in Cherokee Co, GA, 3 mile path length, downed trees, damaged fence.
2. EF-0 in Isle of Wight Co., VA, 70-75 mph, 2 mile path, 50 yards wide, trees down, roof damage to homes, no injuries.
3. EF-0 near Smithfield, VA, EF-0, 75-80 mph, 1.4 mile path, 100 yards wide, trees down onto homes, no injuries.
4. EF-0 tornado in Hampton, VA, 80 mph, 1.25 mile path, 75 yards wide; trees snapped, shingles off homes, roof off City of Hampton school maintenance compound; Fox Hill Athletic Association building destroyed.
The strongest wind gust ever recorded at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, 86 mph, occurred at 1:57 PM Saturday, when a line of thunderstorms roared through central North Carolina.
Ben benieuwd...misschien moderate risk.quote:Op dinsdag 18 februari 2014 15:48 schreef Frutsel het volgende:

quote:Record latest EF3 tornado 2014
Despite recent tornadoes in Missouri, Texas, Mississippi and North Carolina, among other states, we have set a new record for a lack of stronger tornadoes-to-date in 2014.
Through April 8, not one tornado of EF3 intensity or stronger was observed anywhere in the U.S., the latest wait for the first such tornado in any year on record dating to 1950, according to the University of Alabama-Huntsville.
March 31, 2002 was the previous record latest date of the season's first F3 or EF3 tornado. The Enhanced-Fujita scale replaced the original Fujita Scale on Feb. 1, 2007.
According to statistics compiled by severe weather expert, Dr. Greg Forbes, the period from January through March averaged between eight and nine tornadoes of F/EF3+ intensity in the period 1950-2012.
While we have had several episodes of severe thunderstorms in 2014, most recently on April 3, we've been fortunate enough to avoid the volatile combination of low-level wind shear (rapidly changing wind direction and speed with height) and strong instability (very warm and humid air near the surface topped by cold, dry air aloft) known to spawn large, destructive tornado outbreaks.
We hope this good fortune continues. However, climatology says it will not.
April and May lead with 10-11 F/EF3+ tornadoes each month, on average, according to Dr. Forbes.
Keep in mind while current tornado counts in 2014 are roughly 64 percent below the average-to-date, destructive outbreaks do occur in years with fewer overall tornado counts.
Both 2012 and 2013 featured at least 400 fewer U.S. tornadoes than the 10-year average. Despite fewer tornadoes, destructive twisters still occurred:
Mar. 2-3, 2012: EF4 in Henryville, Ind.; EF3 in West Liberty, Ky.
May 15, 2013: EF4 in Granbury, Texas
May 19-20, 2013: EF5 in Moore, Okla.
May 31, 2013: EF3 in El Reno, Okla.
Nov, 17, 2013: EF4 in Washington, Ill.
quote:It's been a long time since a tornado touched down in Oklahoma. In fact, it's been so long it's almost set a record.
The last tornado reported in Oklahoma was on August 8, 2013, according to Gary McManus, State Climatologist with the Oklahoma Climatological Survey.
It's been 247 consecutive days without a tornado. That's a significant length of time for a state where over the decades tornadoes have been reported in every month of the year.
It's so significant, it's the third-longest streak ever since accurate statistics began being kept in 1950.
The longest streak without a tornado reported in Oklahoma was 292 days from May 17, 2003 to March 3, 2004.
The second-longest streak was 248 days from July 16, 1990 to March 20, 1991.
If Oklahoma makes it to Sunday, April 13, 2014 without a reported tornado it will become the second-longest streak ever.
So why has Oklahoma gone so long without a reported tornado? There are several reasons.
"The late fall and winter was basically cold with little in the way of significant warm-up periods," said News On 6 meteorologist Alan Crone. "This limited our fall to early-winter severe weather potential and also had a tendency to keep moisture away from the state."
Crone says the same factors that have limited rainfall in Oklahoma have also limited tornado production.
"The frequent frontal passages early this spring have also had a tendency to keep low-level gulf moisture suppressed to the southeast of the state. So these early spring systems have had very little quality moisture in the atmosphere to generate thunderstorms," he said.
"We've only had three inches of rain since January 1st and are now almost five inches below normal from January 1st to date."
Read Alan Crone's weather blog.
Crone is quick to remind everyone that Oklahoma is still right in the middle of Tornado Alley.
"I urge everyone to remember it only takes one very active spring day to catch up quickly. And we're getting ready to move into what is typically the most active period for storms and severe weather from mid-April into the month of May."
There is a good chance of thunderstorms on Sunday, so the streak may end then.

To set a new record for consecutive days without a reported tornado, we'd have to make it to May 27th, which the weather experts say is highly unlikely.
Nu staat er al een waarschuwing voor het weekend. Meestal zijn ze daar niet zo vroeg mee.quote:Op dinsdag 22 april 2014 14:46 schreef Frutsel het volgende:

Btw: deze week paar kleine kansjes op tornado maar volgens WeatherChannel zou er voor komend weekend wellicht een grotere kans zijn voor een severe-weather-outbreak. Even afwachten nog

quote:A dangerous multiple-day severe weather outbreak will begin this weekend over the South Central states and will include the potential for nighttime tornadoes in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska.
A storm will move slowly across the United States over the next seven to 10 days. The storm will affect Southern California with locally drenching rain and mountain snow on Friday. Its next stop will be the Central states this weekend.
While the central and southern Plains are in need of rain, it will come with the price tag of violent storms.
Since the parent storm will not arrive on the scene until late in the day Saturday, most storms are not forecast to ignite until the late-day and nighttime hours.
Major cities at risk for severe weather this weekend include Dallas, Oklahoma City, Wichita, Kan., Omaha, Neb., and Kansas City, Mo.
Because the storms will be passing through large metropolitan areas, the storms have the potential to bring extensive damage, risk to a great number of lives and significant travel disruptions.
According to AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions Storm Warning Meteorologist Scott Breit, "Supercell thunderstorms will develop along the dry line from west-central Kansas to the Oklahoma Panhandle and northwestern Texas late Saturday afternoon with large hail and tornadoes a good bet."
A dry line marks the boundary between desert air to the west and moist Gulf of Mexico air to the east. A supercell thunderstorm is a long-lived, intense storm that often develops rotation and has an elevated risk of producing tornadoes, damaging winds gusts, frequent lightning strikes and very large hail.

Preliminary damage surveys from the National Weather Service in Morehead City, North Carolina, indicated an EF3 tornado tore through Whichards Beach in Beaufort County at about 7:40 p.m. Friday. The twister damaged or destroyed 150 to 200 homes and injured 16 people, the according to Beaufort County Emergency Management Director John Pack.
Pictures on news websites showed residents salvaging items from crushed mobile homes, along with snapped trees and a mangled utility pole in eastern North Carolina.
