Weather Event #2
Wednesday, January 11, 2006: "Surprise" tornado near Jamestown, Virginia:
This F1 tornado caused 2 minor injuries and destroyed several trailer homes. Wind shear profiles were extremely favorable for tornadoes, but atmospheric instability was virtually nonexistent, so the probabilities of a tornado developing were thought to be too low to mention tornadoes in a forecast (convective outlook, mesoscale discussion, or tornado watch). Anything can happen as long as the probability is non-zero, though.
