I was talking about this bookend vortex aka commahead via the Indianapolis NWS radar & velocity that moved through I-465 beltway around Indianapolis on the Lake/Midwest regional forum.

I suppose the low-level wind shear and helicity made up for the lack of other ingredients for the severe threat that yielded this radar confirmed tornado in the Indianapolis metro area.

I think that briefly has a TDS correlation coefficient on the Indianapolis NWS radar

That Crittenden County supercell is very interesting. The entire cell is rotating around itself from the NWS MEG radar velocity reflectivity. You can look at its motion and it is a tightly rotating mesocycle indeed.

This is thing is likely on the ground

The Crittenden County, AR supercell is very ominous and likely on the ground. I'm looking at the NWS MEG radar velocity and it's extremely tight as it is headed towards West Memphis, AR.

Yep, and this is basically a line of tornadic supercells. Anyone from Downtown Memphis and northward along the Mississippi River might need to be prepared for one of those supercells.

In Northeastern AR, there is a bit of training by the those confirmed tornadic supercells. It's so many confirmed Tornado Warnings for that area that it is nearly impossible to discern the difference between 5 different warnings.

If this brigade of tornadic supercells in Eastern Arkansas holds together West Tennessee is in some serious trouble in the next 2-3 hours. Mesoscale Discussion 363 < Previous MD Mesoscale Discussion 0363 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0612 PM CDT Wed Apr 02 2025 Areas affected...Portions of the Mid-South Concerning...Tornado Watch 98... Valid 022312Z - 030045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 98 continues. SUMMARY...Numerous discrete supercells are intensifying in a very favorable environment for strong to intense tornadoes across the Mid-South. DISCUSSION...Numerous discrete right-moving supercells are intensifying across the open warm sector in the Mid-South as of 23Z. The NQA VWP depicts very large, clockwise-curved hodographs with ample streamwise vorticity for these storms (around 330 m2/s2 0-500m SRH). Given a moist/unstable boundary layer, ample low-level shear, and the well-established discrete supercells, several strong to intense tornadoes are possible through this corridor over the next couple hours. ..Weinman.. 04/02/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
