4 OUTSTANDING STORMS OF THE MONTH Rare January Tornadoes in Wisconsin Experiencing a tornado in Wisconsin in January is extremely rare. In fact, it had only happened once between 1950 and 2007 when a F3 tornado affected parts of Green and Rock Counties on January 24, The 30-year average annual number of tornadoes in Wisconsin is 21. On the afternoon of January 7, 2008 a warm, moist, and unstable airmass, with temperatures rising into the lower to middle 60s and dewpoints into the mid to upper 50s, moved into southeast Wisconsin setting the stage for a rare January severe weather event. Thunderstorms formed just ahead of a low pressure and the frontal boundary moving east through western Wisconsin producing hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. All of this activity took place in a highly-sheared environment with moderate instability. Over southeastern Wisconsin, the winds from 850 mb to 250 mb were nearly unidirectional, but showed a large increase in speed values. Wind speeds at 850 mb, 700 mb, 500 mb, and 250 mb were 45 kts, kts, 80 kts, and kts, respectively. Surface winds were south-southwest at 15 to 20 knots with gusts to 35 knots. One of the thunderstorms tracked from just north of Rockford, Illinois into far Southeast Wisconsin. This supercell thunderstorm produced an EF-3 tornado in Northern Illinois and then moved through Walworth and Kenosha counties in southeastern Wisconsin where it produced yet another EF-3 tornado. The tornado that went through the Wheatland/New Munster area in Western Kenosha County had estimated top winds between mph, inflicted minor injuries on 15 people, and traveled over several frozen ponds and old snow piles! This was the first strong tornado (EF-2 or stronger) in Kenosha County since Fujita Scale ratings began. The EF-3 tornado affected, damaged, or destroyed 109 structures in the counties of Walworth and Kenosah. This was the first strong tornado in Walworth County since Another smaller supercell thunderstorm later on generated an EF-1 tornado in far northeastern Kenosha County. This second tornado occurred in the town of Somers and on the north side of the city of Kenosha. Kenosha County had only seen 4 tornadoes between 1950 and The last tornado observed in Walworth County was in Left: A map of the two tornado tracks across Walworth and Kenosha Counties. 4

5 Right: EF-1 tornado damage occurred in the town of Somers and on the north side of the city of Kenosha. Left: The three tornadoes in Southeast Wisconsin and Northern Illinois were also part of a larger tornado outbreak on January 7th. The majority of the tornadoes occurred in Missouri, where 33 have been confirmed. In all, 48 tornadoes occurred spanning an area from Southeast Wisconsin through Eastern Oklahoma.

By the end of the month, roughly three-quarters of Central Alabama remained in Exceptional Drought (D4), with the remainder in Moderate (D1) to Extreme (D3) Drought. Agricultural impacts were relatively low due to being in between growing seasons. However, hydrologic and socioligic impacts continued to be felt. Most stream and river levels across Central Alabama continued to be much below normal, with flow levels generally 25 percent or less of normal. Reservoir levels showed limited improvement due to rainfall that occurred during the month. The threat of water shortages for municipal water systems persisted, and most water restriction plans already in place continued. Lamar County 1 S Millport CST K 0.00K Hail (1.00) Fayette County 5 SSE Belk CST K 0.00K Hail (1.00) One inch hail was reported at the intersection of AL-159 and CR-1, south of the city of Fayette.

Chilton - Coosa - Dallas - Marengo - Perry - Sumter CST 1300CST Autauga - Bibb - Chambers - Clay - Cleburne - Elmore - Greene - Hale - Jefferson - Lee - Lowndes - Randolph - Shelby - Talladega - Tallapoosa CST 1300CST A winter storm brought a swath of heavy snow to parts of central Alabama during the morning hours of January 19. The main band of snow accumulation was roughly bounded on the north side by Interstate 20, and on the south side by Interstate 85. The heaviest snow, accumlating from 2 to 5 inches, fell in a band from Marengo and southern Sumter Counties, northeastward into Coosa County. Because ground temperatures were just above freezing, much of the snow outside of the highest snow band melted within an hour or two after the snow ended. Area streets saw only minor impacts from the snow, and most roads were free from snow before nightfall. Blount - Marion - Winston CST CST An area of rain and drizzle falling into a shallow cold air mass led to light accumulations of freezing rain and freezing drizzle in several northern counties of central Alabama. The ice accumulations were generally light, but a few roads got enough of a glaze to cause some traffic accidents. The most accumulation of ice was reported in a west to east band, from Marion County to Blount County. Blount - Dallas - Etowah - Jefferson - Lamar - Lowndes - Shelby - Tallapoosa - Tuscaloosa - Walker CST 2250CST K 0.00K Strong Wind A large pressure gradient along the leading edge of a strong cold front caused a period of high winds across Central Alabama. Winds gusted up to 55 mph, and there were many reports of trees and power lines blown down. Lee County (AUO)Auburn Opelika CST 2115CST K 0.00K Thunderstorm Wind (51MG) Several trees were blown down across the county. A wind gust of 59 mph was recorded at Auburn/Opelika Airport. Thunderstorms along a cold front interacted with a gravity wave, causing a brief intensification of the storms. 8

9 ALABAMA, Central ALZ001> Colbert - Cullman - Dekalb - Franklin - Jackson - Lauderdale - Lawrence - Limestone - Madison - Marshall - Morgan CST 2359CST 0 0 Drought Although rainfall was not particularly heavy for the month, the rain that did occur was of a higher frequency, with rain every few days. The heaviest rain events were on January 10th and 11th, when many locations, except in the Shoals region, saw over an inch of rainfall; and on the 31st, when in many spots the heaviest calendar day rainfall since last August occurred. Overall totals for January still ranged from two to three inches across Northwest Alabama to three to five inches elsewhere in the Central Tennessee Valley. A few isolated spots in extreme NW Alabama and on Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain tallied over five inches of rain for the month. These totals still were below normal in all cases, so drought conditions deteriorated across the region, with most areas in D2 (Severe Drought) to D4 (Exceptional Drought). Lauderdale County 1 E Waterloo CST 0 0 Thunderstorm Wind (52EG) Thunderstorm winds knocked down trees in the downtown area of Waterloo at the intersection of county roads 45 and 14.

Dekalb County 1 E Dawson CST K 0.00K Thunderstorm Wind (52EG) A line of severe thunderstorms knocked down trees in the Dawson area on county road 20. A low pressure system moved northeast from eastern Kansas into the Great Lakes region, while rapidly deepening. Numerous strong to severe thunderstorms developed ahead of a strong trailing cold front which pushed in northwest Alabama during the afternoon hours and into northwestern Georgia after midnight. Some of these severe storms produced isolated reports of hail and flash flooding. ALZ001> Colbert - Cullman - Dekalb - Franklin - Jackson - Lauderdale - Lawrence - Limestone - Madison - Marshall - Morgan CST 2330CST 0 0 High Wind A strong low pressure system tracking northeast into the Great Lakes brought a powerful cold front through the region.

29 CALIFORNIA, Northwest Very strong winds developed on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley with this storm, with gusts to 66 mph recorded at Kettleman Hills during the afternoon of January 4th. The strongest winds occurred in the town of Avenal in Kings County, where roofs were damaged, trees toppled and two glider planes lifted off the tarmac and flipped over at the local airport. Based on surveys of the sustained property damage, top winds were estimated at mph. This high wind event was caused by an increase in local winds due to a combination of strong large-scale winds (synoptic winds due to the Pacific storm pattern) and the interaction of the nearby Coastal Mountain range, which likely involved a mountain range-induced cloud called a rotar cloud. Two direct injuries also occurred in Avenal during the wind event. Elsewhere across the central and southern San Joaquin Valley, wind gusts of 45 to 50 mph were common on the 4th. Strong winds also occurred in the Foothills of the Sierra Nevada and the Kern County Desert. Strong winds are fairly uncommon in the foothills, and during this event, wind gusts were measured to 45 mph at Shadequarter, and 69 mph at Miami in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. More common are strong winds in the Kern County Desert, nonetheless gusts to 69 mph were recorded at Indian Wells Canyon. Strong winds were also common across the Southern Sierra Nevada and the Tehachapi Mountains. Peak winds up to 100 mph likely occurred at the crest of the Southern Sierra Nevada, however weather observations confirming those values were not available due to the scarcity of data in the highest elevations. CAZ096 CAZ This winter storm event was actually a double-barrel system, as the second major storm arrived on the heels of the first one. This second storm originated over Siberia, and brought a very cold airmass to central California on the 5th and 6th. Snow fell down to 3000 feet, into the upper Sierra foothills. Total snow accumulations in the Southern Sierra Nevada for the two major storms ranged from nearly 9 feet in the high country near Yosemite National Park, to 5 feet in the Tulare County mountains. South Sierra Mountains PST 2200PST The next in a series of winter storms reached California on the 8th.

A Pacific storm reached the central California interior on the 22nd, with heavy snow falling across the length of the Southern Sierra Nevada and the Tehachapi Mountains. A persistent rain band over the west side of the San Joaquin Valley brought locally heavy rain to the Temblors and Diablo Range on the 23rd. Runoff from these mountains caused some road flooding in western Fresno and Kings Counties. Several inches of snow fell on the Grapevine beginning on the 22nd, and in the Los Angeles County mountains near Gorman. At Frazier Park, about 1000 feet higher than the Grapevine, a spotter measured 18 inches of fresh snow. Interstate 5 was closed at the Tejon Pass late in the afternoon of the 23rd, with one report estimating that the number of stranded cars was over one hundred. The Interstate remained closed through the 24th, before finally reopening the next morning. The very cold airmass accompanying the storm caused snow to fall on the Temblors and Diablo Range on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley during the afternoon of the 23rd. Two to four inches of snow fell down to elevations between 1500 to 2000 feet. Local media reported Highway 198 closed west of Coalinga due to snow. Traffic Management indicated the closure was from Firestone Avenue west to the Monterey County line. Temporary closures also occurred on Highways 41, 46, and 166 due to snow, effectively shutting down exit routes from the San Joaquin Valley to the west, with exit routes to the south already shut down along the Grapevine and Tehachapis. Los Gatos Creek Road and Parkfield Grade were also closed during the afternoon of the 23rd due to the snow. However, with the upper-level low remaining offshore, there initially was a fairly sharp boundary marking the edge of the precipitation between the western valley and the eastern valley. Rain was slow to spread into the eastern half of the San Joaquin Valley, and many locations in the Southern Sierra Nevada received less than a foot of new snow. When the precipitation band finally shifted eastward during the evening of the 23rd, locally heavy rains caused some street flooding in Fresno, Kings and Madera counties.

Several medium sized trees were downed onto homes or garages causing moderate damage to those homes. The tops of several trees were damaged and some fences were blown in different directions, suggesting this event was caused by a weak tornado, in addition to the discovery of a small damage path. National Weather Service doppler radar also indicated rotation within the lowest levels of the storm at the time of the event. Eyewitness accounts of a loud roaring noise, funnel clouds, and large debris/dust clouds also occurred near the mobile home park and contributed to the storm survey. The tornado likely continued for up to two miles to the northeast as additional similar damage was discovered along Goshen Avenue near the Visalia Municipal Golf Course. Minor damage also occurred in other parts of Visalia with a few utility poles and trees and branches downed, likely from straight-line wind damage due to the outflow of the severe thunderstorm.

33 CALIFORNIA, Northwest During an already very active month, the final storm of January left a considerable impact on many communities in Central California. An upper-level low pressure system dropped south along the California coast, kicking a low pressure system inland. This weather system became nearly stationary southwest of Point Conception on the 26th. This low brought strong downslope winds through the Tejon Pass into the south end of the San Joaquin Valley. Southeast winds with sustained speeds of 68 mph were measured at the base of the Grapevine for about 2 hours late in the evening of January 26th, with a gust to 65 mph reported as far north as Bakersfield. The gust was on the east side of the city; the highest gust measured at Meadows Field Airport was 49 mph. This storm also had enough cold air, initially, to produce heavy snowfall in the Sierra Nevada. Totals ranged generally between 12 to 30 inches in the higher terrain during the first two days of this storm event, January Subtropical moisture spinning around the low brought heavy rain to the Tehachapi Mountains west of the Grapevine. Because of the subtropical nature of the moisture, the snow levels were high and warm rain fell on the nearly 2 feet of snow at Frazier Park from the previous storm. As the ground saturated, mud slides developed on the mountain slopes, closing Frazier Mountain Park Road and triggering the issuance of a Flash Flood Warning for mud and debris flows. Rainwater runoff from the Tejon Pass flowed into the south end of the San Joaquin Valley, causing flooding on parts of Copus and David Roads as well. In the Kern County desert, heavy rain falling on the El Paso Mountains resulted in flooding of the Garlock and Red Rock Roads along the south flanks of the mountains in Kern County. The warm, unstable airmass also triggered outbreaks of severe thunderstorms over portions of the San Joaquin Valley on the 27th, especially in Tulare and Fresno Counties. A severe thunderstorm developed south of Visalia shortly after noon, and spawned a weak tornado that knocked down trees and severely damaged a trailer park. The tornado, rated EF-0 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale with peak winds of 70 mph, was the first tornado to hit the San Joaquin Valley since March 28, 2006, when an EF-0 tornado touched down 1 mile southeast of the city of Merced. The last tornado to hit Tulare County had been an F-0 that touched down 5 miles southeast of Dinuba on October 20, A strong thunderstorm formed shortly after 4 PM on the 27th, again just south of Visalia, and then passed over the east side of the city. This storm was weaker than the earlier thunderstorm, but did produce one-quarter inch hail and damaging wind gusts.

Precipitation changed fairly quickly to rain by mid-afternoon in the central and southern part of the state, but took as late as 6 p.m. EST for the change to occur in New Castle County. Actual accumulations included 2.6 inches at New Castle County Airport. The precipitation was caused by a low pressure system that moved northeast from Florida early in the morning on the 17th to near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at 1 p.m. EST on the 17th, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina at 7 p.m. EST on the 17th, just east of Wallops Island, Virginia at 1 a.m. EST on the 18th and eastern Long Island, New York at 7 a.m. EST on the 18th.

The snow was caused by a low pressure system that formed over the North Carolina coastal waters on the morning of the 24th. The low pressure system moved quickly eastnortheast and by 7 pm EST on the 24th was already about 325 miles east of Fenwick Island, Delaware. The fast movement offshore kept accumulations down and also prevented snow from spreading into northern Delaware. DEZ003 DEZ001>004 Inland Sussex EST 0800EST A high pressure ridge that extended from the southeastern United States into Delaware provided the light winds and trapped low level moisture near the ground for black ice to form in Sussex County on the morning of the 28th. The black ice was a contributing factor in a fatal accident that occurred in the Harbeson area that morning. A 44-year-old man died after he failed to negotiate a turn at the intersection of Beaver Dam and Indian Mission Roads and struck a Millsboro V.F.D. ambulance. In the ambulance, the 32-year-old driver, 41-year-old paramedic and 47-year-old ambulance attendant all suffered injuries. The intersection was closed for six hours.

One of the locations that was severely impacted was downstream of Oakdale Dam in Carroll County. Hundreds of homes were either damaged or destroyed. Millions of dollars of damage occurred due to the flooding. Heavy summer time rains falling on saturated partially frozen winter time soils led to record flooding along the Tippecanoe and other rivers and streams in northern Indiana. All of this occurred from essentially one precipitation event during January. Significant snow of more than 6 inches fell in northern Indiana on the 1st and 2nd. Record January warmth melted all of this snow overnight on the 6th.

Randolph County 1 W Deerfield EST K 0.00K Flood EST Flooding occurred along the Mississinewa River in Randolph County, including near Ridgeville, due to heavy rain and snow melt. Record to near record flooding occurred during early January in many along the Tippecanoe River. One of the locations that was severely impacted was downstream of Oakdale Dam in Carroll County. Hundreds of homes were either damaged or destroyed. Millions of dollars of damage occurred due to the flooding. Heavy summer time rains falling on saturated partially frozen winter time soils led to record flooding along the Tippecanoe and other rivers and streams in northern Indiana. All of this occurred from essentially one precipitation event during January. Significant snow of more than 6 inches fell in northern Indiana on the 1st and 2nd. Record January warmth melted all of this snow overnight on the 6th. Thunderstorms late on the 7th and early on the 8th dropped 3 to over 7 inches of rain in less than 12 hours on portions of north central Indiana. Serious local flooding resulted almost immediately as the heavy rain fell. The first wave of this heavy rain was concentrated just north and outside of the Indianapolis HSA. Because White County was one of the locations where the greatest rain fell, record flooding occurred along the Tippecanoe River downstream of Oakdale Dam by 8 am on the 8th. The U.S. Geological Survey estimated the return period of this flood at their site on the Tippecanoe downstream of Oakdale Dam may have been greater than a 500 year flood. NIPSCO"s figures indicated the peak flow of over 30,000 cfs from Oakdale Dam approached their calculated 100 year flow. Numerous evacuations took place on and along the Tippecanoe River downstream of Oakdale Dam. Record flooding along the Tippecanoe River quickly dissipated as the flood approached the Wabash River. Significant flooding occurred along the Wabash River from Lafayette to Terre Haute and lowland flooding from south of Terre Haute to the Ohio River. During the day on the 8th and early of the 9th another band of heavy rain of 1 to over 4 inches fell in the Indianapolis HSA. This rain fell in the southern and eastern portions of the state and produced significant flooding in the upper portions of the White and East Fork White Basins. This was the first winter season flood for rivers and streams in these watersheds. Rainfall of one half inch to one and a half inches fell in the remainder of central Indiana. Lowland flooding occurred along the White River in southwest Indiana while the White River in the Indianapolis metropolitan area only reached bankfull levels. 76

118 LOUISIANA, Northeast Tensas Parish 5 NW Waterproof 7 E St Joseph Lake CST 1101CST K 0.00K Hail (1.00) An intensifying supercell thunderstorm produced a swath of penny to quarter sized hail from the southwest portion of the parish to a few miles northeast of Lake Bruin, where the storm then crossed the Mississippi River. The second week of was quite active with respect to severe weather. Two events impacted the region in a span of 3 days which produced several tornadoes, large hail and wind damage across the area. On January 10th a vigorous storm system developed over the southern portions of the Midwest and moved northeast towards the Ohio valley. A strong cold front swept across the area during the late morning into the afternoon hours and strong to severe thunderstorms developed out ahead of it. All of the ingredients for tornadic development came into place as warm Gulf moisture pushed northward into the area out ahead of the front. The thunderstorms developed in eastern Louisiana and quickly moved across central Mississippi during the late morning and afternoon hours. As the storms progressed eastward, good instability combined with very strong wind shear for supercell development east of the Mississippi River, with the storms reaching maximum intensity along and east of the interstate 55 corridor. By far, the most damage was produced by a single supercell thunderstorm that moved from north of Vicksburg through north central and northeast Mississippi during the late morning and early afternoon hours. This single storm produced three strong tornadoes, all of which were rated as EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita tornado damage scale. The most significant damage occurred in Caledonia in Lowndes County, where a school gymnasium was destroyed along with a number of school buses and vehicles in the area. A second supercell that organized near the Mississippi River in southwest Mississippi before midday tracked from Claiborne County, through the northern Jackson Metropolitan Area, and finally into Noxubee county in northeast Mississippi by mid afternoon. This storm was responsible for 5 different tornado touchdowns along its path, as well as many reports of high winds and hail. The rest of the area saw a broken line of storms and other supercells ahead of the line. A mix of damaging winds and hail were reported through the rest of the afternoon before the system exited the area. LAZ007>009 East Carroll - Morehouse - West Carroll CST K 0.00K Ice Storm 2200CST A small ice storm occurred across the region on January 25 with freezing rain observed across the northern half of the service area. This occurred as a arctic high pressure settled over the Ohio Valley and shallow cold air filtered into region. While the cold air was moving in, an area of low pressure was taking shape across the northern Gulf of Mexico and helped to produce widespread light rain over the area. Across the northern portions of the forecast area, temperatures were below freezing when the light rain fell and good ice accumulations occurred for areas generally along and north of a line from Rayville Louisiana to Lexington Mississippi to West Point Mississippi. The icing was not very heavy, but problems occurred across the areas that did receive around a quarter inch of ice. Numerous accidents occurred from icing on bridges and overpasses with one fatality in Grenada County. Trees and power lines did accumulate some ice, but the ice was not heavy enough to cause much damage.

LAZ Strong low pressure north of the region resulted in a dryline separating warm most air from much drier air across Oklahoma. A cold front caught up to the dryline during the morning hours of January 8th with strong to severe thunderstorms forming on the dryline. The line of thunderstorms originated across northeast Texas and southeast Oklahoma and progressed eastward into southwest Arkansas and northwest Louisiana. An isolated severe thunderstorm produced some wind damage in the parish and frequent cloud to ground lightning. Caddo - Claiborne - Ouachita - Union - Webster CST 1950CST K 0.00K Strong Wind 118

119 LOUISIANA, Northwest A very tight pressure gradient developed behind a strong cold front across much of the region in the wake of a departing upper trough of low pressure.

144 MISSISSIPPI, Central The tornado started by damaging a home and shed along with some tree and power pole damage. Next, a shed was damaged and a combine harvester that was in the shed was thrown into some trees. After moving through a wooded area, the tornado moved into a neighborhood with new, well-built homes. Around 8 homes were damaged in this neighborhood, with around 5 of them being severely damaged. Roofs were ripped off, walls were collapsed, and a few were even moved off their foundations. The tornado moved through another wooded area and emerged into the Caledonia school complex. It was here that the tornado reached its maximum intensity. The press box and concession stand of the football stadium were destroyed, several medal power poles were bent over, and several trees were knocked down. Numerous vehicles were moved along the ground up to 100 yards, some were flipped over, some had multiple dents from gravel in the parking lot, and numerous windows were broken out. Five school buses were damaged, two of which were flipped over, and one of which was lifted up and ripped apart with the chassis landing in one of the buildings and the frame landing on top of a building. The school gymnasium and a Vocational Tech Building were nearly destroyed with several vehicles including the bus landing inside it. The tornado then left the school complex and moved across the south side of Caledonia. Around 6 homes experienced significant damage here, mainly to the roofs. A church was completely destroyed when the roof was lifted up and collapsed on the building. Another church nearby had minor roof damage. The tornado entered another wooded area causing damage to trees and then emerged along Caledonia- Vernon Road. The tornado moved along the road for several miles. Along this part of the path, numerous single family homes were severely damaged. The roofs were ripped off and the walls were collapsed on several homes. Numerous hard wood trees were snapped, several of which fell on cars and homes. A horse stable was completely destroyed and a high tension medal truss tower was snapped. Further along the road, several mobile homes were completely destroyed. One in particular had the body of the trailer blown downwind and the frame was dragged back along the ground in the opposite direction for around 25 yards. Several cars were moved for a distance around 50 yards at this location as well. The tornado then entered another wooded area causing some tree damage and then weakened before crossing the state line into Lamar County, Alabama. The total path length in Lowndes County was 8.7 miles with an EF3 Enhanced Fujita Scale rating. The total path length for the entire tornado, including each county, was 13.2 miles. The school complex was occupied by over 2100 students and faculty at the time of the tornado. Yet, the Tornado Warning lead time of 41 minutes allowed the school to place students at the best possible locations. No injuries or fatalities occurred at the school. Also, a day care center with 15 children and faculty was severely damaged, but all 11 had taken cover in an underground storm shelter, so there were no injuries at that location either. In total, there were 15 injuries of which only 3 were considered serious. The 3 serious injuries occurred in the mobile home that was ripped apart with the body moving downwind and the frame in the opposite direction.

Two events impacted the region in a span of 3 days which produced several tornadoes, large hail and wind damage across the area. On January 10th a vigorous storm system developed over the southern portions of the Midwest and moved northeast towards the Ohio valley. A strong cold front swept across the area during the late morning into the afternoon hours and strong to severe thunderstorms developed out ahead of it. All of the ingredients for tornadic development came into place as warm Gulf moisture pushed northward into the area out ahead of the front. The thunderstorms developed in eastern Louisiana and quickly moved across central Mississippi during the late morning and afternoon hours. As the storms progressed eastward, good instability combined with very strong wind shear for supercell development east of the Mississippi River, with the storms reaching maximum intensity along and east of the interstate 55 corridor. By far, the most damage was produced by a single supercell thunderstorm that moved from north of Vicksburg through north central and northeast Mississippi during the late morning and early afternoon hours. This single storm produced three strong tornadoes, all of which were rated as EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita tornado damage scale. The most significant damage occurred in Caledonia in Lowndes County, where a school gymnasium was destroyed along with a number of school buses and vehicles in the area. A second supercell that organized near the Mississippi River in southwest Mississippi before midday tracked from Claiborne County, through the northern Jackson Metropolitan Area, and finally into Noxubee county in northeast Mississippi by mid afternoon. This storm was responsible for 5 different tornado touchdowns along its path, as well as many reports of high winds and hail. The rest of the area saw a broken line of storms and other supercells ahead of the line. A mix of damaging winds and hail were reported through the rest of the afternoon before the system exited the area. MSZ > >074 Adams - Clarke - Copiah - Covington - Forrest - Franklin - Jasper - Jefferson - Jefferson Davis - Jones - Kemper - Lamar - Lauderdale - Lawrence - Lincoln - Marion - Newton - Rankin - Simpson - Smith CST 1130CST A low pressure system moving through the northern Gulf of Mexico brought widespread precipitation to the region the evening of Friday, January 18th and the morning of Saturday, January 19th. The rain changed to snow over much of the area during the early morning hours of January 19th as the cold center of the strong disturbance moved across the region. Significant precipitation was still occurring along and south of the Interstate 20 corridor when the precipitation changed to snow, and accumulating snow then occurred in most locations east of the Mississippi River. The heaviest snow appears to have fallen in the areas around Covington, Jefferson Davis, and western Jones Counties, where isolated amounts of 4 to 5 inches occurred. At the height of the snow, temperatures were able to fall to near freezing, and accumulations occurred on roadways resulting in a number of traffic accidents. Additionally, some power outages occurred in the heaviest snow band due to the weight of the wet snow on limbs and lines. However, most folks in the area enjoyed the rare snowfall and took full advantage of the opportunity to make snowmen and snow angels, or to go sledding on the nearest hill.

147 MISSISSIPPI, Central A small ice storm occurred across the region on January 25 with freezing rain observed across the northern half of the service area. This occurred as a arctic high pressure settled over the Ohio Valley and shallow cold air filtered into region. While the cold air was moving in, an area of low pressure was taking shape across the northern Gulf of Mexico and helped to produce widespread light rain over the area. Across the northern portions of the forecast area, temperatures were below freezing when the light rain fell and good ice accumulations occurred for areas generally along and north of a line from Rayville Louisiana to Lexington Mississippi to West Point Mississippi. The icing was not very heavy, but problems occurred across the areas that did receive around a quarter inch of ice. Numerous accidents occurred from icing on bridges and overpasses with one fatality in Grenada County. Trees and power lines did accumulate some ice, but the ice was not heavy enough to cause much damage.

Very moist and unstable air spread into eastern Oklahoma ahead of a strong upper level storm system and associated cold front. This moist and unstable air combined with strong wind shear that was present in the atmosphere resulted in long-lived and organized thunderstorm structures, including supercell thunderstorms. These thunderstorms developed and tracked eastnortheast through the afternoon and evening hours, generally moving across the same areas over a period of several hours. These storms produced widespread severe weather, including four tornadoes in eastern Oklahoma. A line of storms then developed along the cold front and moved across eastern Oklahoma in the early morning hours of the 8th.

The snow-storm took a track that took it from the central Rocky mountains, across the southern Texas panhandle, and through southern Oklahoma. A surface low pressure moved ahead of this storm system, with a strong cold front following behind. Bitterly cold air plunged south, dropping most locations well below freezing as the front passed. Widespread snow, some of it heavy at times, developed over the northern half of Oklahoma. The storm system strengthened as it moved east, with very strong winds developing as a result. This combined with the snow created widespread visibilities less than a half of a mile. After it ended, snowfall totals over mainly northern Oklahoma were as high as 6 to 8 inches, with lesser amounts farther south. As expected, automobile accidents were a concern with the streets becoming icy. Unfortunately, one person was killer near Guthrie as a result of one accident. Monetary damages were estimated.

Northwesterly winds sustained at speeds in excess of 30 mph combined with light to moderate snowfall to result in widespread blowing snow. Although only light accumulations were reported at a few locations, visibilities were significantly restricted during the morning rush hour, and temperatures in the lower 20s caused the snow to quickly freeze onto area roadways. Despite the fact that the storm's impact was brief, only two hours in duration, it contributed to more than 90 traffic accidents across the region and at least seven minor injuries. A total of 83 vehicular accidents were reported in Lubbock (Lubbock County), where all of the reported injuries occurred. Weather related collisions also were reported in Plainview, including one which involved a school bus. Total damages were estimated to be $900,000.

251 WISCONSIN, Southeast Dense fog covered most of south-central and southeast Wisconsin from Saturday evening through about sunrise of Monday with visibilities of 1/8 to 1/4 mile. At times Sunday afternoon visibilities were reduced to less than 25 yards due to the cooling effect of melting snow. This resulted in a series of multiple-vehicle accidents along roughly a 5-mile stretch on Interstate 90/39 east and southeast of the Madison (Dane Co.) area. Law enforcement officials cited excessive speed for weather conditions as the cause of the accidents. One fatality (indirect death) was reported about 1 mile south of the Interstate 90/39 and STH 12/18 intersectionat about 1420 CST, and another fatality (indirect death) in a crash on Interstate 90/39 in the Civil Town of Blooming Grove at milemarker 146 at about 1516 CST. Altogether, about 100 vehicles were involved and about 50 people were treated at area hospitals for injuries (indirect). Numerous airline flights were canceled at aiports throughout south-central and southeast Wisconsin during the 3-day period of dense fog. Dozens of other vehicle accidents occurred in other counties as well. Meteorologically, the dense fog resulted from an influx of moist, mild air on south winds that substantially melted an existing snowcover. At Milwaukee Mitchell Field, the daily max/min temperatures for the 3 days were 41/25, 52/39, and 63/38, with the snowcover melting from 5 inches to a trace. At Madison Truax Field, the daily max/min temperatures for the 3 days were 39/34, 47/37, and 50/34, with the snowcover melting from 5 inches to 3 inches.

The last time a tornado occurred in January in Wisconsin was on the 24th in 1967 in Green and Rock Counties (25-mile track). On January 7th, a low pressure moved northeast through western Wisconsin, allowing a warm front to push through southern Wisconsin. Temperatures rose into the lower to mid 60s over southeast Wisconsin with surface dewpoints peaking in the mid to upper 50s, resulting in moderate amounts of instablity. Strong, veering winds from the surface to the jet stream level generated sufficient wind shear that supported rotating updrafts in scattered supercell thunderstorms over southeast Wisconsin. A supercell thunderstorm, that had spun up a tornado in northeastern Illinois previously, then crossed the state line into south-central Walworth County (southeast of the city of Walworth) where it intesified and eventually spun up a tornado near Pell Lake that traveled into western Kenosha County. Another supercell spun up a tornado over the northern reaches of the city of Kensoha. Other scattered thunderstorms on this day across south-central and southeast Wisconsin dumped large hail up to 3/4 inch in diameter.

263 Reference Notes: Storm Data Disclosure Storm Data is an official publication of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) which documents the occurrence of storms and other significant weather phenomena having sufficient intensity to cause loss of life, injuries, significant property damage, and/or disruption to commerce. In addition, it is a partial record of other significant meteorological events, such as record maximum or minimum temperatures or precipitation that occurs in connection with another event. Some of the information appearing in Storm Data may have been provided by or gathered from sources outside the National Weather Service (NWS), such as the media, law enforcement and/or other government agencies, private companies, individuals, etc. An effort is made to use the best available information, but because of time and resource constraints, information from these sources may be unverified by the NWS. Therefore, when using information from Storm Data, customers should be cautious as the NWS does not guarantee the accuracy or validity of the information. Further, when it is apparent information appearing in Storm Data originated from a source outside the National Weather Service (frequently credit is provided), Storm Data customers requiring additional information should contact that source directly. In most cases, NWS employees will not have the knowledge to respond to such requests. In cases of legal proceedings, under Department of Commerce regulations and/or rules of the court, NWS employees are not legally obligated to provide written or verbal testimony. Fatality Codes: For events that include a fatality, there is a code containing the gender, age and fatality location at the end of the event narrative. 1 st letter: Gender (M/F) 2 nd numbers: Age 3 rd letters Fatality location (see table below) Example: M51IW Male, 51 years of age, fatality occurred In Water.

264 CST CDT PST PDT - Central Standard Time - Central Daylight Time - Pacific Standard Time - Pacific Daylight Time Other Notes: An Episode is an entire storm system and can contain many different types of events. An Event is an individual type of storm event. When listing wind speed values under, ex. High Wind (G81), the G indicates a Gust which is a peak 5-second averaged wind speed in Knots (kts). 1 kt. = mph. This number can be either E (estimated) by damage caused, or M (measured) by known calibrated anemometers. Ex. (M61) = measured 61 knots or E(75) = estimated at 75 knots. All wind speeds listed are estimated by NWS personnel by the amount and type of damage unless otherwise noted with an M which represents an actual wind speed as measured by official NWS approved anemometer. When listing hail size under, ex. Hail (2.25), the hail size is given in inches and hundredths of inches. When listing property and crop damage, the figures indicated are the best guess made by the NWS from the available sources of information at the time of the printing. The fatalities, injuries, and damage amounts appearing in tropical cyclone events are attributed only to wind damage experienced in the coastal counties/parishes listed. Other tropical cyclone related events such as tornadoes and flooding are listed within their separate event types. 264
