An excellent thread about radar data interpretation from @NWSMiami. #flwx

October 3, 1992: A significant outbreak of 10 tornadoes struck the Florida Peninsula. The worst damage from the event was seen in Pinellas Park where a devastating F3 ripped apart numerous brick houses & trailer homes. Three people were killed and 75 were injured. #wxhistory

Men's Journal is "AI slop" when it comes to their weather coverage. 🗑️ Their U.S. snowfall outlook has Florida with "below normal" snowfall. As Kelley K points out, they somehow took the Precipitation map & made snow out of it.

Yes, certainly on the table! Great catch!!!! Check this out, since your old man was the meteorologist on the Texas State Network back then and remembers it well. Hurricane Norma was a Category 3 Eastern Pacific hurricane in October 1981. It is a well-known example of a Pacific storm whose remnants crossed Mexico and produced heavy rain, flooding, and tornadoes in Texas Norma was the strongest storm of the 1981 eastern Pacific season and one of only two hurricanes that year to make landfall in Mexico. Its Texas impacts followed a similar pattern (though wetter and more tornadic) to the later remnants of Hurricane Tico in 1983.On October 13–14 the interaction of tropical moisture with a front spawned about 13 tornadoes across northern Texas and southern Oklahoma. Notable ones included an F2 in McLennan County (near Waco) that injured four people and caused about $25 million in damage to homes, a grocery store, a theater, and churches, and an F3 in Navarro County. Tornadoes also affected the Dallas–Fort Worth area, including the airport. Rain from the system reached as far as Kansas. This upper feature looks even more impressive than Norma

NO WAY
