Tornado Outbreak Sequence Of June 14–19, 2023
Meteorological synopsis
On June 12, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) issued a level 3/enhanced risk of severe weather for June 14 across the Mid-South and eastern Gulf Coast states, and also highlighted the threat for significant severe weather across the risk area. Mid-level atmospheric flow was beginning to become broadly confluent, while a low pressure system situated north of the Great Lakes began to weaken and move east. Higher moisture content was confined to the south of a remnant surface front, and convective instability increased in the risk area due to the eastward advection of warm elevated mixed-layer air across the Mississippi River Valley. A 5 percent tornado risk was introduced in the SPC's Day 2 outlook for June 14 across Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, and also included a 30 percent risk for wind and hail, which the latter included a significant threat. In the morning hours of June 14, the SPC upgraded the enhanced risk to a moderate risk, and included a significant 10 percent risk for tornadoes across southeastern Alabama and southwestern Georgia, as well as a significant 45 percent risk for wind and a significant 30 percent risk for hail across the southern United States. A few hours later, tornado watches were issued for Alabama and Georgia, and a Particularly dangerous situation severe thunderstorm watch was issued for northeastern Louisiana, southeastern Arkansas, and Mississippi.
On June 15, the SPC released an outlook with a moderate risk of severe weather for portions of the High Plains. This outlook included a 10 percent risk for tornadoes along the panhandles of both Texas and Oklahoma. A shortwave trough began to move into the central U.S. Concurrently, an associated 80 kt upper-level jet moved into the southern plains. At the surface, a low area also deepened across the southern High Plains, the same area a prominent cold front was headed. Ahead of the front, surface heating and increasing low-level convergence promoted significant convection.
From June 16–19, the same mid-level trough associated with previous storms continued to rotate around the Mid-Atlantic. Short-wave perturbations related to convergent air movement between a 50kt jet and the strong trough displayed signs of strong storms across the deep south, from Arkansas to Alabama. 3000 J/kg of CAPE was also present, promoting rapid intensification of storms in evening hours. Extreme instability led to unexpected and explosive storm development on almost all dates of the outbreak sequence, sometimes resulting in tornadoes, hail, and wind damage well outside of areas outlined by the Storm Prediction Center. This included 12 tornadoes that occurred in a 0% risk area in Ohio on June 15, three of which were strong.

Non-tornadic effects
Flash flooding in Pensacola, Florida, after a tornado in the area, resulted from 9.23 inches (234 mm) of rain in five hours, and strong winds blew a tree into a house, killing one person. The flooding in Pensacola prompted a rare flash flood emergency. Rainfall totals in Gulf Breeze, Florida reached as high as 17.03 inches (433 mm) of rain, and over 20,000 customers lost power in the county. Wind gusts reached up to 96 mph (154 km/h). Late on June 15, severe storms resulted in power lines falling on the Ohio Turnpike by Exit 94, shutting the highway down for much of June 16. On June 16, severe thunderstorms in the Northeastern United States led to ground stops at LaGuardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport. Portions of the Philadelphia metropolitan area received up to 1.5–2 inches (38–51 mm) of rain, prompting a flash flood warning. The storms in Philadelphia also caused a brief delay in repairing a stretch of I-95 following a highway collapse earlier in the week. Further south, a Dierks Bentley concert in Raleigh was delayed due to the storms.
The storm system that caused significant damage in Pensacola also affected western Alabama. On the evening of June 16, a storm cluster affected parts of Pickens, Greene, and Tuscaloosa counties, leaving a sizable damage swath. Winds were estimated at 50–75 mph (80–121 km/h), with peak gusts of 90–95 mph (145–153 km/h). This resulted in thousands of trees being downed from the town of Gordo to the Ralph community, where hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted along a six-mile-wide path. Several homes in Ralph sustained roof damage, and several garages and outbuildings sustained heavy damage. Debris near Ralph led to the closure of all lanes, eastbound and westbound, on I-20/59. Power outages affected thousands of residents in Tuscaloosa County, which lasted for a few days, and disrupted cell service in many areas.
On June 18, flash flooding in the Saint Louis metropolitan area resulted in I-55 shutting down. In addition, flooding in Pensacola resulting in Fort Pickens shutting down until June 22. A powerful mesoscale convective system also affected a large swath of northern Oklahoma. Central Oklahoma saw scattered damaging winds and a large amount of power outages, while winds of up to 100 mph (160 km/h) caused widespread damage across Northeastern Oklahoma, including the Tulsa metropolitan area, and 341,000 power outages occurred.
