This tornado, which impacted Spencer, Tennessee in Van Buren County on November 10, 2002, has been DOWNGRADED from F2 to F1 (a little different, huh?). The downgrade is based on a reanalysis of high-resolution satellite imagery and storm reports, per NWS Nashville. #TNwx

First post here!

The next few days across New Mexico and WTX look intriguing for severe potential, especially Saturday/Sunday. On Saturday, synoptics look favorable for supercells, but some concerns exist with mid level temperatures. Moisture concerns due to the position of the ridge exist as well.
