Srain Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The atmosphere over OK and TX is so unstable - look at the convective cloud forming over the fires in TX. We had this in AZ several times during our summer thunderstorm season, it was extremely impressive. Also notice the fires in MX, S of Big Bend.

turtlehurricane Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 It's always interesting to see a fire producing a thunderstorm. Brings up the possibility of using some sort of device to blow off the cap as a weapon. Another discussion for another time though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwinter23 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Tulsa 6 live feed just had great live footage out of Clearmore area..What appeared to be 60-70 mph winds ripped a flag off a pole and tree debris was flying by. Had a spotter call in from there who then quickly said " I gotta go", then he called back and said his car was moved a few feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Probably within the next few hours Fort Smith will be under the gun. The storms on the Southern end are particularly dangerous and should continue ENE toward Western Arkansas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A TORNADO WATCH WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED. SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE WILL SHIFT EWD INTO AR AS A PACIFIC COLD FRONT OVER CNTRL OK OVERTAKES THE DRYLINE AND THE MOIST AXIS SHIFTS EWD. WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES IN PLACE...MLCAPE VALUES OF 1000 TO 2000 J/KG WILL OVERSPREAD AR INVOF THE MOIST AXIS. STRONG DEEP-LAYER WIND SHEAR /EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR MAGNITUDES AROUND 60 KT/ WILL SUSTAIN THE ONGOING SEVERE CONVECTION INTO AR. WHILE THE ANTICIPATED CONVECTIVE MODE IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...HIGH-RESOLUTION WRF GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST UPSCALE GROWTH INTO A QLCS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CNTRL AND NRN AR. THIS WILL LIKELY OCCUR AS DEEP-LAYER ASCENT STRENGTHENS IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACH OF THE LEFT-EXIT REGION OF A 100-125-KT 250-MB JET STREAK. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL ARE EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY THESE STORMS. EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS AND MESOVORTICES WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH A TORNADO THREAT GIVEN INCREASING LOW-LEVEL CLOCKWISE CURVATURE IN HODOGRAPHS PER RUC FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUPPORTING EFFECTIVE STORM-RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES BETWEEN 300 AND 500 M2 PER S2. THIS WILL OCCUR AS A S-SWLY LOW LEVEL JET BECOMES ESTABLISHED AFTER SUNSET. A TORNADO THREAT WILL ALSO BE ASSOCIATED WITH ANY DISCRETE SUPERCELLS LEADING OR SOUTH OF THE QLCS. WHILE THE THREAT FOR A STRONG TORNADO WILL EXIST ACROSS WRN AR PRIOR TO 05Z WITH MORE DISCRETE CONVECTION...THE CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION TOWARD A MORE LINEAR SYSTEM WILL LIKELY MITIGATE THIS POTENTIAL LATER IN THE NIGHT.
