Strong to severe thunderstorms developed into and across eastern Oklahoma during the|afternoon and evening. The moderately unstable air combined with strong deep-layer and low-level wind shear resulted in the evolution of some of the thunderstorms into supercells. Several of these supercells produced tornadoes, along with large hail up to ping pong ball size and damaging wind gusts.1063203A tornado was witnessed by multiple people from multiple locations. The tornado was over open country, and no known damage occurred.Tornadotornado—0——Storm ChaserOKLAHOMAEFU

The front moved through the early evening, while out ahead of it, several lines of severe thunderstorms raced across Eastern North Carolina during the afternoon hours during the peak heating of the day. Multiple reports of damage to homes occurred, along with reports of trees and powerlines blown down with estimated thunderstorm wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph. Within a particular line of thunderstorms, a brief tornado formed and touched down in Bayview before quickly lifting as it exited the community.1064000The NWS in Newport, NC surveyed damage that occurred in Bayview, NC. The survey team concluded that a waterspout moved ashore and touched down as a brief tornado in town before lifting. The tornado was moving very quickly in a northeastward direction and affected a neighborhood on the east side of the Bayview Golf Club, or near the intersection of Bayview Rd. and King Blount Dr. Several very large 3 ft diameter pine trees had their trunks snapped about 12 ft up. There was also a large cedar tree (2 ft diameter) that was snapped. Based on the damage to the very large softwood trees, wind speeds were estimated to be between 100 and 105 mph. Additional damage included a large shed that had its tin roof torn off and thrown approximately 25 yards, shingles that were torn from several homes, and large limbs that were blown down.Tornadotornado—0——NWS Storm SurveyNORTH CAROLINAEF1

In advance of this trough, rich low level moisture quickly spread northward from the Gulf of Mexico across East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas, along a strong southerly low level jet that developed ahead of a deepening surface low over Southeast Colorado and Western Kansas. With the trough taking on a more negative tilt as it ejected northeast across the Panhandle region, a dryline mixed east to the I-35 corridor of North-central Texas by early evening, and into East Texas and Eastern Oklahoma during the evening and overnight hours. Large scale forcing increased well ahead of the approaching upper trough across the expanding moist sector from the late morning through the afternoon and evening hours of the 2nd, with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developing across portions of Deep East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas. Increasing instability due to diurnal heating within a strongly sheared and moist air mass resulted in the gradual development of strong to severe thunderstorms across these areas, with locally heavy rain falling over areas where the storms moved repeatedly over the same areas. Rainfall amounts ranged from 1-3 inches across much of Southwest Arkansas, with isolated higher totals in excess of 4-5+ inches observed especially over Southern Lafayette, much of Columbia and Union Counties. This resulted in areas of flash flooding across portions of Southern Arkansas from the afternoon through the early morning hours on the 3rd, with a brief tornado also spawning across Central Union County north of El Dorado.1064017An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 105 mph touched down about 3 miles southwest of Norphlet, just southwest of the intersection of Murphy Loop and Shady Grove Road. The tornado tracked northeast over the span of approximately one minute, snapping and uprooting several hardwood and softwood trees and causing minor damage to structures resulting mainly from the impacts of the fallen trees. The damage path ended just to the southeast of the intersection of Shady Grove Road, Murphy Loop, and Burchfield Road.Tornadotornado—0——NWS Storm SurveyARKANSASEF1

Increasing instability due to diurnal heating within a strongly sheared and moist air mass resulted in the gradual development of strong to severe thunderstorms across these areas, with locally heavy rain falling over areas where the storms moved repeatedly over the same areas. Rainfall amounts ranged from 1-3 inches across much of North Louisiana, with isolated higher totals of 5-6+ inches observed Eastern Bienville, much of Jackson, Western Ouachita, and Eastern Union Parishes. This resulted in areas of flash flooding across portions of North Louisiana from the mid-afternoon through the early morning hours on the 3rd, with sporadic reports of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes across the region as well.1064054An EF-2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 120 mph touched down just north of the Jackson/Winn Parish line along Highway 167 and moved northeast across Firetower Section Road and Highway 147/Walker Road, where numerous trees were snapped. On Walker Road, the tornado caused roof damage to a chicken house and some manufactured homes. The most significant damage on Walker Road occurred just north of its intersection with Whitman Road where a single-wide manufactured home, which was anchored into the ground, was flipped and rolled off of its foundation, destroying most of its roof and walls, but leaving the undercarriage attached. The tornado snapped and uprooted more trees and broke a wooden electrical pole as it crossed Rome Road, Highway 4, and Strain Allen Road. On Strain Allen Road, a very large hardwood tree was snapped and a home suffered the partial loss of its metal roof. More broken limbs and snapped trunks were observed as the tornado crossed Halfway Creek and travelled north-northeast along Kelley Road. The most significant damage along the entire tornado track occurred as it crossed Highway 811/Gladway Road near its intersection with Kelley Road. Here, a brick single-family home lost most of its roof. This caused the partial failure of the walls of the garage of the home, but the majority of the home remained standing and intact. A metal garage building on this property suffered a complete loss of its walls, but most of its roof and the metal frame poles remained standing. About 150 yards to the northwest, another brick single-family home suffered almost a total loss of its roof covering. The damage in this area was rated as EF-2 based mainly on the roof loss to the two homes. On the north side of Gladway Road, a double-wide manufactured home suffered the loss of most of its roof, but the walls remained standing. An attached carport on another single-family brick residence was destroyed as the tornado continued north of Gladway Road and west of Kelley Road. This tornado continued to snap numerous trees on Kelley Road as it continued northward crossing Slash Pine Road and again crossing Kelley Road and Parish Barn Road. More tree damage was observed along Lucy-Leonard Road and Highway 155. Two brick single-family homes on Highway 155 just west of Sugar Creek suffered some loss of shingles from the roof. The tornado began to weaken rapidly and caused more minor roof damage to a single-family home and snapped some large tree branches along Stonewall Road before finally lifting. Three minor injuries were reported from this tornado, but their exact locations were not available to the survey team.Tornadotornado—3——NWS Storm SurveyLOUISIANAEF2

There, it ripped some metal panels off of a home, flipped a swing set, and uprooted several trees. As the tornado continued on, it intermittently touched down several times, uprooting and snapping trees as it crossed Boline Road. At this location, it also damaged a small metal outbuilding. The tornado continued on to uprooted trees and down branches as it crossed Scourgout Road before lifting after crossing Thyra Johnson Road.Tornadotornado—0——NWS Storm SurveyLOUISIANAEF1

The tornado continued on to the east-northeast, producing mostly tree damage as it crossed Cypress Road and Albert Barr Road. In addition, falling trees downed many power lines in this area as it moved to the northeast for two to three miles. The most significant damage occurred a little farther to the northeast as the tornado crossed Wheeler Road. At this location, there were a few collapsed electrical transmission towers which were rated as high-end EF-2 damage with estimated 130 mph winds. From here, the last few miles of the tornado tracked closer to the Haile community, crossing Highway 143, Jordan Taunton Road, Sunset Road, Haile Baptist Church Road, and Jessie Guinn Road. In these areas, the damage was again confined to mainly snapped and uprooted trees, with several homes and outbuildings heavily damaged, but mainly due to downed trees. The tornado was unique in a few ways. First, the path width was up to a half a mile in the latter portion of the track, which is very wide for a tornado which was mostly weak throughout a majority of its path. Secondly, the collapsing of the large electrical transmission towers garnered a rating up to 130 mph, but there were no other surveyed damage indicators which warranted an EF-2 rating. The survey team believes there could be other significant damage indicators near the downed transmission towers, although potentially live downed high voltage lines in the vicinity of the towers did not allow the survey team to survey in close proximity.Tornadotornado—0——NWS Storm SurveyLOUISIANAEF2

Shingles, roof sheathing and insulation were lifted and blown several hundred yards to the east northeast of the residence. Minor siding and roof damage occurred to a neighboring house. In addition, insulation from the first house was back spattered on the east facing garage of the second house.||The tornado continued to track east northeast across Arnie Risen Boulevard, where a tree was downed and a street sign was bent to the ground. The tornado then crossed a tree line, where several trees and large branches were downed, before it crossed a set of railroad tracks and U.S. Route 25. Just east of here, a steel warehouse building suffered partial roof uplift and roof damage. Two door frames on opposite sides of the building were blown inward and a large steel cross beam was bent from the apparent roof uplift. In addition, the soffit around the building was damaged.

This system picked up a deep moisture fetch of tropical origin while tracking rapidly eastward across the Pacific and produced widespread heavy precipitation across the area between the morning of January 9 and the evening of January 10 while the deep surge of moisture moved inland across central California. This storm produced widespread liquid precipitation totals of 3 to 6 inches in the Sierra Nevada. For much of this event, the snow level was around 7500 feet which resulted in heavy runoff of snow accumulations from recent colder storms. This runoff combined with rainfall of 2 to 4 inches in the Sierra foothills and 1 to 2.5 inches in the San Joaquin Valley to produce widespread flooding across the area with at least 150 separate incidents of flooding being reported to the Hanford NWS office. The flooding resulted in numerous roads being closed and several evacuations took place including the entire town of Planada in Merced County which was inundated with flood waters. In addition, Bear Creek overflowed it's banks and reached a new record peak flood of 26.2 feet at McKee Bridge east of Merced on January 10. Above the snow line, there were several reports of 2 to 4 feet of new snowfall above 7500 feet in the Sierra Nevada. This system also produced strong downslope winds on January 9 with several stations in the Tehachapi Mountains, West Side Hills and Sierra foothills measuring gusts exceeding 60 mph and resulting in several power outages across the area as power lines were blown down by the strong winds.

Instability was meager, but very strong wind shear contributed to an environment favorable for a few severe storms. The storms occurred in the warm sector of a surface low centered over northeast Kansas. The storms were far removed from the primary surface fronts, but a 500 mb shortwave rotating northeast toward the lower and mid-Mississippi Valley provided strong forcing for storms. The storms were mainly in bands with embedded weak mesovortices. The multiple bands of storms produced locally heavy rainfall that caused pockets of flash flooding, mainly southeast of a line from Murray to Madisonville. The heavy rain pushed the Green River slightly above flood stage.1065959A brief weak tornado with estimated peak winds of 85 mph struck the southwest side of Hopkinsville. Most of the damage was in the form of several large, snapped trees. A cinder block garage attached to a home lost its roof. A portion of an adjacent house lost some roofing. A large carport was tossed at least 25 yards into a wooded area. The path of the tornado roughly paralleled Kentucky Route 695 from the U.S. 68 bypass northeast to a residential area neighboring the Hopkinsville high school.Tornadotornado—0——NWS Storm SurveyKENTUCKYEF0

This system picked up a deep moisture fetch of tropical origin while tracking rapidly eastward across the Pacific and produced widespread heavy precipitation across the area between the morning of January 9 and the evening of January 10 while the deep surge of moisture moved inland across central California. This storm produced widespread liquid precipitation totals of 3 to 6 inches in the Sierra Nevada. For much of this event, the snow level was around 7500 feet which resulted in heavy runoff of snow accumulations from recent colder storms. This runoff combined with rainfall of 2 to 4 inches in the Sierra foothills and 1 to 2.5 inches in the San Joaquin Valley to produce widespread flooding across the area with at least 150 separate incidents of flooding being reported to the Hanford NWS office. The flooding resulted in numerous roads being closed and several evacuations took place including the entire town of Planada in Merced County which was inundated with flood waters. In addition, Bear Creek overflowed it's banks and reached a new record peak flood of 26.2 feet at McKee Bridge east of Merced on January 10. Above the snow line, there were several reports of 2 to 4 feet of new snowfall above 7500 feet in the Sierra Nevada. This system also produced strong downslope winds on January 9 with several stations in the Tehachapi Mountains, West Side Hills and Sierra foothills measuring gusts exceeding 60 mph and resulting in several power outages across the area as power lines were blown down by the strong winds. Thunderstorms broke out across the much of the area on January 10 as colder air aloft moved over the area resulting in numerous issuances of Significant Weather Advisories along with a few warnings. The storm moved to the east of the area on January 11 with precipitation ending and winds diminishing. However, flooding continued across much of the area due to residual runoff from the heavy precipitation that fell over the previous two days. Several county Emergency Operations Centers were staffed by NWS personnel during this event do to the unusual severity with this storm as numerous warnings were issued for flooding, strong winds and heavy mountain snowfall.1068107Television station report of several buildings, tractors and other goods were totally destroyed by about 6 feet of floodwater in Strathmore.FloodfloodHeavy Rain0——Broadcast MediaCALIFORNIA—

Strong warm air advection provided via southerly flow allowed surface temperatures to create a multi-phased precipitation event. ||The environment was abnormally moist for the month of February which set a record precipitable water (0.56 inches) value. Initially, this event began in the form of rain during the daytime hours of Feb 14th. As solar heating decreased through the evening, the rainfall phased into a rain/snow mix and eventually all snow by the morning hours of the 15th. There was a centralized area of heaviest rainfall that occurred in Eastern Minnesota and the St. Croix River Valley. CoCoRaHS observations in areas such as Hennepin County near Plymouth, MN down to Chanhassen MN recorded near 1.2 to 1.3 total inches of rain. Areas in Anoka County such as East Bethel and Ham Lake observed between 1.25 and 1.3 inches of rainfall. In Isanti County near Cambridge, 1.26 inches of rain. The highest observed amount was located in Washington County near Afton, MN with 1.34 inches of rain. ||The overall structure of the low-pressure was fairly stacked or in other words vertically aligned. A troughing pattern in the upper-levels was combined with a surface low which in turn supported a tight pressure gradient that could generate strong wind gusts between 40-50+ mph. Numerous airfield stations across Western MN captured strong winds gusts in the early morning hours of Feb 15th between 1 AM to 10 AM. Madison Airport in Lac Qui Parle County observed the strongest recorded gust at 58 mph. Morris AP (Stevens), Redwood Falls AP (Redwood), St. James (Watonwan), and Fairmont (Martin) observed 53 mph gusts. Lastly Benson AP (Swift) and Montevideo AP (Chippewa) observed just above 50 mph gusts. No wind damage was reported from any of these observations. ||As a result of increased wind speeds and precipitation phasing to all snow, blowing snow became a factor in Western Minnesota. Specifically, county law enforcement or emergency management in Stevens, Swift, Chippewa, Lac Qui Parle, Yellow Medicine, and Douglas counties all reported receiving numerous calls for motorists stuck in ditches. They also reported the visibility was very poor, there were sporadic snow drifts on roadways making travel impossible. ||For the extreme Western Minnesota in terms of snowfall accumulations, CoCoRaHS observations recorded 2.2 inches northwest of Morris, MN (Stevens). The remainder of nearby observations sites recorded amounts between 1-2 inches of snow.1070012County Emergency Manager reported that multiple road incidents occurred due poor road conditions.

10700682023-01-31T04:00:00Z——LUBBOCK0012023-01-31T12:00:00Z——Several consecutive days of wintry precipitation occurred from late January through early February. Temperatures tumbled 30-40 degrees behind an arctic cold front from the 28th into the 29th. Even colder air settled into the region on the night of the 29th and morning of the 30th, as temperatures dipped into the teens over all of the South and Rolling Plains, and single digits in the Texas Panhandle. The bitter cold was accompanied by enough moistening to result in the development of areas of light freezing drizzle, light sleet, and light snow. Though light, the wintry precipitation did create some travel difficulties as it quickly stuck to the sub-freezing roadways. The light drizzle, sleet, and snow diminished toward midday on the 30th. Pockets of light freezing drizzle and snow flurries redeveloped over parts of the region for the second morning in a row on the 31st. The light frozen precipitation again created problems on area roadways, including in and around Lubbock. Unfortunately, there were four fatalities and two injuries from vehicle wrecks that hit icy spots on the roadway. One fatality and injury occurred on US Highway 62/82 near Wolfforth where a vehicle hit a slick patch on an overpass and rolled over. Three additional fatalities and one injury occurred along US Highway 380 west of Brownfield (Terry County) as a vehicle rolled over into a ditch. The South Plains region experienced another lull in the precipitation on the afternoon and evening of the 31st. Periodic spurts of freezing rain and sleet continued through the evening of the first and into the early morning on the second as temperatures lingered a few degrees below freezing. A final band of precipitation exited the region to the east by late morning on the second as temperatures finally rebounded above freezing across the region. Many locations across the South Plains and Rolling Plains had experienced sub-freezing temperatures continuously from early on the 29th until mid-morning on the second. Ice accumulation totals were highest in the Rolling Plains, where a tenth to quarter inch was common. This event continues into February.1070068—Winter Weatherwinter-weather—0——Law EnforcementTEXAS—

Heavy snowfall occurred in most areas except the Kentucky border counties of Mississippi and New Madrid. The heaviest snowfall was in the Ozark foothills north and northwest of Poplar Bluff, over 6 inches in some areas. Carter and Bollinger Counties both reported 7 to 9 inches of snow, which was wet and heavy enough to bring down a lot of tree limbs. Power outages were widespread, and several roads were blocked. Snowfall amounts of 4 to 6 inches were common elsewhere to the north and west of Cape Girardeau, including Perryville, Greenville, Poplar Bluff, and Doniphan. Three to four inches fell from the Dexter/Bloomfield area to Benton in Scott County. Snowfall rates were quite heavy for a few hours, averaging an inch per hour. Only an inch or so fell in Mississippi and New Madrid Counties. Roads were snow-covered and slippery during the heavy snow, with numerous vehicles sliding off the roads. Temperatures rose above freezing soon after the snow ended, so treated main roads improved rather quickly later in the morning. Due to the heavy wet nature of the snow combining with wind gusts of 15 to 20 mph, significant power outages occurred across the Ozark foothills of southeast Missouri. There were over 75,000 customers without power across south central and southeast Missouri at its peak on the morning of January 25th.

10704992023-01-30T18:00:00Z——GIBSON0002023-01-31T03:00:00Z——A winter storm consisting primarily of sleet impacted southwest Indiana during the night of January 30th. The precipitation moved out shortly before sunrise on the 31st. The precipitation fell quite heavily as soon as it started, and temperatures were well below freezing, so roads quickly became covered with sleet. The sleet compacted down to an icy coating, making for dangerous travel conditions. For the next few days that followed the storm, many secondary roads were ice-covered as temperatures remained well below freezing through the morning of February 2nd. There were numerous vehicle slide-offs and some accidents. Schools were cancelled in most counties from January 30th through February 2nd. The heaviest sleet accumulations occurred along and south of Interstate 64, including Evansville and Boonville, where there was about one-half inch of sleet. A light glaze of icing also accompanied the sleet in many areas. The wintry precipitation was much lighter to the north. There was less than one-quarter inch of sleet north of Interstate 64 from Princeton to Petersburg. The Gibson County Sheriff Department reported four accidents with injuries, ten non-injury accidents, and 25 vehicles that slid off the road. Interstate 69 was blocked by a jackknifed semi at the Gibson and Pike County border. Arctic high pressure over the central Plains pumped low-level cold air into the region on brisk northeast winds. At the same time, a southwest wind flow at 500 mb brought a moist air mass emanating from the sub-tropical Pacific.1070499—Winter Weatherwinter-weather—4——Trained SpotterINDIANA—

Warm, moist, and unstable air had spread north across East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas during the 17th-18th, east of a surface low that ejected northeast from North Texas into Eastern Oklahoma. The instability was maximized by daytime heating across the extreme Eastern Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas on the 18th, as large scale forcing ahead of the ejecting low increased across these areas from the mid-morning through the afternoon hours. This resulted in scattered to numerous strong to severe thunderstorms, with ample shear available ahead of an approaching cold front spawning an isolated tornado in Central Columbia County before these storms exited the region to the east during the afternoon.1072915An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 100 mph touched down near County Road 52 near Lake Columbia. There, it snapped several softwood trees before continuing onward into forested areas where it caused intermittent damage. As the tornado continued to move northeast, damage was again observed near North Mill and North Cottage Street where trees were snapped and uprooted. The tornado continued on to uproot and snap trees as it crossed Washington and Neil Streets in the city of Waldo. Prior to reaching Highway 371, the tornado damaged an awning of a church, before knocking over several power poles and snapping trees across several blocks in Waldo. On the northeast side of the city limits, the tornado completely destroyed a small metal outbuilding and continued on to snap more trees at the edge of a farm before lifting.Tornadotornado—0——NWS Storm SurveyARKANSASEF1

The most significant structural damage was observed as the tornado crossed Emma Drive west of Parkers Chapel Road. Here, two double-wide manufactured homes were partially shifted off their cinder blocks but remained intact with no other damage. Two outbuildings were also destroyed. One outbuilding was small and entirely made out of wood, but its 2x4 vertical support boards were driven 3 feet into the ground during construction and mostly remained in place. The other outbuilding was much larger and consisted of a metal roof and frame, which was twisted to a great degree. The expected wind speeds for these two outbuildings and their degree of damage were in the low EF-2 range. However, given the all-wood construction of the first building and its support beams remaining partially buried, and a distinct lack of widespread tree damage in the immediate vicinity, the estimated wind speeds were lowered, resulting in an EF-1 rating, which was also more consistent with the vast majority of the damage observed. ||The tornado continued northeast across Parkers Chapel Road and through a couple of neighborhoods south and east of Parkers Chapel School. Widespread snapping and uprooting of large softwood pine trees occurred in this area. Structural damage in this area was caused by the falling trees rather than the tornado itself. One uprooted tree fell through a single-wide manufactured home occupied by three people when the tornado struck. Fortunately, no injuries occurred in this home. ||More snapped and uprooted softwood trees were observed as the tornado crossed Lynn Drive, Evans Drive, Ables Drive, Rilla Street, Oleta Avenue, Wotapi Street, and Highway 15. The tornado began to weaken as it continued northeast out of the Parkers Chapel community but snapped another softwood tree north of Buchanan Road east of Highway 15 before finally lifting near the intersection of Highway 15/Highway 82 on the southwest side of El Dorado.Tornadotornado—0——NWS Storm SurveyARKANSASEF1

An incredibly strong surface low deepened to about 979mb over the Ohio River Valley. In fact, this system broke numerous all-time low pressure readings across the lower Ohio River Valley. At the official weather station at the Nashville International Airport, the barometric pressure dropped to 29.06 inches which was very close to the all time record of 29.02 inches. This intense low pressure system combined with a potent cold front resulted in a very strong pressure gradient across the area which resulted in several hours of high winds. The high winds were first felt along a line of thunderstorms that very quickly tracked east-northeast through Middle Tennessee. This line prompted several Several Thunderstorm Warnings with the primary hazard being wind. However, winds increased dramatically behind this line of thunderstorms with wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph common through the afternoon. The highest measured gust was 79 mph at the Clarksville ASOS which set a record the highest wind gust measured at this station. These high winds resulted in widespread damage with every county reporting snapped or uprooted trees, downed powerlines, power outages, roofs torn off buildings, and other property damage.
