Podcast changed to Tuesday nights at 8 pm (Tonight!), Tornado Outbreak Possible

We've decided to change the podcast to Tuesdays at 8 p.m. CDT, not Wednesdays anymore!  So, tonight is the night for the TVNweather podcast, "Never Stop Chasing." You can view it here, or in case you are unable to watch it live, you can view the audio here and the video here at a later time!  Remember, we will be taking questions through the chat and also through our Twitter handles: @reedtimmerTVN, @canadogreg and @stormpics! Friday and Saturday are closing in on being potential chase days, with Saturday most likely being the most significant!  The picture, above, depicts the Storm Prediction Center's severe weather probabilities for Saturday, with the mention of possible tornadoes across the outlook area.  It's still 3-4 days away, and a lot can change, but TVN has been anticipating chasing both of these days and will be streaming live video and filming another episode of, "Tornado Chasers."  Friday, could still be a potential chase day for the High Plains from SW KS/ E CO down south into E NM and the TX panhandle.  So stay tuned for updates!]]>

Deadly Tornado Strikes Georgia, Severe Weather Outbreak 1-29/1-30 2013

On January 29th, the Storm Prediction Center had issued a moderate risk for a big chunk of the mid-south with the primary threats being damaging winds and strong tornadoes.  Numerous tornado watches were issued and most of the severe weather started Tuesday evening and ended Wednesday evening.  All-in-all Tuesday had 324 reports (image, left) with most of those being damaging winds, although 13 tornado reports were recorded.  One fatality occurred last night, as a man allegedly tried to take shelter in a shed and was killed.

 

A deadly tornado stuck the town of Adairsville, Georgia this morning leaving at least one dead and several more injuries.  The storm was embedded within a squall line and was moving extremely fast when it hit the town.  Before this fatality today, the US had set a record for most days without a tornado-related fatality with 220 days, since records had been kept in 1950.  Check out the INSANE video (below).

 

This was a classic high shear/low instability setup in the south, and isn't unusual as most people think.  Luckily, this event was forecasted several days in advance and after April 27th, 2011, people in Dixie Alley are more weather-aware than ever before.  Today's severe weather reports totaled 262, with 7 of those being tornadoes.

 

Don't forget to check out "Tornado Chasers" now available at a bulk rate of $19 for all episodes 1-12!  For updates on warnings and real-time weather information, be sure to follow Reed's Facebook fan page and Twitter account and stay informed!
