Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, May 18, 2013.

A strong low pressure system will bring active weather to the center of the nation on Saturday. The system will move off the Rockies and into the Plains, which will push a warm front into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, while it continues pulling a cold front southeastward across the Western states. Counter clockwise flow around this system will pull more moisture and energy into the Plains from the Gulf of Mexico, allowing for showers and thunderstorms to develop from Oklahoma through the Dakotas and into Minnesota. These areas are under a slight threat of severe weather development with strong winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall. Parts of western Nebraska and northwestern Kansas are under a moderate risk of severe thunderstorm development. This area has increased risk for tornado development on Saturday.

East of this activity, a weak trough slowly moves over the Eastern Valleys, allowing for a few more widespread showers and thunderstorms to pop up from the Southern Appalachians through the Mid-Atlantic states. Meanwhile in the West, moisture from the Pacific Ocean will allow for scattered showers with afternoon thunderstorms to persist for the Northern and Central Rockies. Severe storms are not likely in these areas. In the Southwest, gusty winds, warm temperatures, and dry conditions will maintain dangerous fire weather conditions on Saturday.

... NWS damage survey for 05/17/13 severe weather episode...

NWS Huntsville meteorologists have completed a storm survey over
portions of Limestone County... in north central Alabama. It has been
determined that the damage reported around the Athens area and near
Elkmont resulted from two weak/short-lived tornadoes during the mid
afternoon hours on Friday, may 17. Please see below for more details.

.Tornado #1 -- south Athens /Limestone County/

Rating: EF-0
estimated peak wind: 75 mph
path length /statute/: 2.04 miles
path width /maximum/: 50 yards
fatalities: 0
injuries: 0

Start date: may 17 2013
start time: 2:00 PM CDT
start location: 3 miles south of downtown Athens
start lat/lon: 34.759983 / -86.974814

End date: may 17 2013
end time: 2:07 PM CDT
end location: Hwy 72 / Athens
end lat/lon: 34.786681 / -86.959044

Survey summary:
a short-lived tornado initially touched down along Roy long Road just
west of Highway 31. Several trees were snapped and uprooted around a
residence property. The residence itself sustained minor damage as
narrow wooden front porch pillars were broken and shifted by the
wind. Based on this damage... the maximum winds were determined to be
around 75 mph... a mid-range EF-0 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.

The tornado skipped northeast with additional damage seen along
Highway 72... just west of Highway 31. Multiple signs atop a large
metal pole were blown out and a portion of the metal siding was
ripped off. No additional damage was reported just northeast of this
location... therefore it is determined the weak tornado lifted around
this point.

.Tornado # 2 -- Elkmont area /Limestone County/

Rating: EF-0
estimated peak wind: 70 mph
path length /statute/: 0.15 miles
path width /maximum/: 50 yards
fatalities: 0
injuries: 0

Start date: may 17 2013
start time: 2:45 PM CDT

end time: 2:46 PM CDT
end location: between hardiman Lane and Sweet Springs Rd
end lat/lon: 34.956560 / -86.878222

Survey summary:
this very short-lived tornado was part of the same storm that
produced the south Athens tornado. Damage was seen in a less than
1/4 mile swath between residences along either side of hardiman Lane.
Several residences sustained minor roof damage with shingles blown
off. One residence sustained structural damage as a portion of the
bricks were cracked and beginning to pull away from the foundation.
Several larger trees around the residences were snapped or uprooted.
Maximum winds were estimated to be 70 mph at this location. Just
north of hardiman Lane... a barn sustained roof damage as a good
portion of the metal roof had been pulled off. No additional damage
was seen along the track to the northeast of this location... toward
the Alabama/Tennessee state line.
