Two days of flooding in Liguria. The only areas that got lucky is Arenzano to downtown Genoa. Fortunately everybody seems to be alright (damage aside)

Absolutely stunning video of one of today's waterspouts in front of the Capo di Leuca area of Apulia. Imagine having such a thing slowly meandering in front of your window for five minutes. Video by Elena Severino.
WOTY for me, at least in Italy

Aside from our Venetian tornadic supercell, another, potentially significant, tornado occurred in Slovenia
🌪 Nekaj čez 20. uro se je nad Ilirsko Bistrico razvil tornado.
🌪 Vidi se razmeroma širok vrtinec znotraj katerega so prisotni tudi zelo močni, a majhni vrtinci, ki imajo premer le nekaj metrov.
Zaradi omejitve dolžine je video skrajšan. Poslal nam ga je Klemen Bergoč.

Comparing the second May 2023 flood with the current ONGOING event shows a grim, catastrophic picture. From ARPAE data this event’s even worse than that one. The above average SSTs of the Adriatic Sea are fueling a developing disaster. I fear the daytime images we’ll see tomorrow

We've been working hard to understand what happened and this is a preliminary reconstruction. Very interesting damage pattern just before the obvious tornado with convergent/curved straight line winds

Reporting what happened in less than 24 hours between yesterday and today is quite insane, just as much as the event, and we’re nowhere near done especially with the wind. A lot of injuries as well, many due to hail. Two deaths unfortunately. And let’s not talk about the damage

Yesterday's tornado in Veneto, here we go
The vortex was produced by a mesovortex along a linear storm and the actual radar-visual comparison is pretty impressive! The tornado remained on the ground for about a mile and hit a couple of farms causing mostly light damage

OTD in 2012 I missed this impressive F1 tornado that impacted multiple parts of Venice and the lagoon (Sant’Elena, Certosa, Vignole, Sant’Erasmo, Cavallino-Treporti), caused two injuries and crossed paths with the 1970 F4. The supercell then cycled and produced another F1

Looking at the pics I saved earlier from the LA supercell, I noticed the pattern described by Skip Talbot in his 2019 Linwood analysis: a smaller and weaker tornadic circulation south of a much bigger/stronger convergence/mesocyclone that then evolves into a much stronger tornado

Okey dokey, we’re getting in range of some higher resolution models and the consensus seems to be for a new severe weather day on Thursday. Pretty good dynamic system, typical mid Summer instability and a very decent wind profile, plus a dryline. Could be interesting

This is probably the best tornado video to come out of Italy this year. Rarely, if ever, have I ever seen subvorticies this well visible in my country. Plus some of the replies are just hilarious
Today’s tornado near Milan, Italy had a multi-vortex structure! That's a very rare occurance.
