Tornado Warning out for downtown. Anybody got radar shots of this storm? It doesn't look too bad to me, just some hail and strong winds, but the closest radar site is 90 miles away so you can't really get a good look at it.

I think it looked more impressive awhile ago. The distance from radar may have played a role in it. Still a dangerous situation for Greenville, MS though.

Dunkman Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 70-90 mph winds heading for louisville! I'm not sure how many tornadoes are going to be in it, but that line going through Indiana right now has some crazy winds with it. I hope people don't let their guard down, I would not be at all surprised to see some 90 mph straight line gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisville to cincy escaped all the action today...I wonder if that would cause the current stuff that's getting ready to move in to intensify moreso than it has over IN . Looks like one hell of a bow echo developing to the west of Louisville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like one hell of a bow echo developing to the west of Louisville Yep. This could be unpleasant. WAVE is saying 90 mph winds is possible. And with the way that line is bowing out... ekkk. Also I'll call it now. Before the night is over, Louisville will be under a tornado warning. Because, if for no reason, some spotter will see a wall cloud and get skittish.

TheWeatherPimp Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'll have a complete wrap up/photos/videos later this evening. We tracked several severe storms including 1 tornado. Widespread significant damage in Greensburg from a tornado - definitely appeared to be at least EF2 damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Granted there's limited info to go on and just speculating but the Bedford, IN area damage that TWC has been showing looks like solid EF2 or EF3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Linear. Plenty of embedded tornados but warnings are being put out for the entire line now because individual tornados are too hard and to brief to pick out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHSnow Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 The Indiana offices must be the worst when it comes to severe weather. Why put out a tornado warning for an entire line of thunderstorms? IWX pulled this same crap June 5 or 6 of last year, right after the F4 went by south of Toledo. It looked like a wall of tornadoes was coming again, but it really was nothing but a squall line. When the storms hit CLE's CWA, all the warnings magically shifted to Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. LOL. Even if there is an isolated tornado, this is not a situation that will produce strong tornadoes. Any tornado damage won't be much worse than the widespread straightline wind damage (or any embedded microbursts). This is just going to make people less likely to take cover when the tornado sirens sound, because it's going to be percieved as a false alarm for 99.9% of the warning area.

I think there's a fine line...sometimes it seems like overkill but it's probably not a bad idea when you know you have really favorable instability/shear parameters in place.

Not to mention, on how high alert the public and governments (state and local) when it comes to lead time and warnings because of recent events. Not sure if the offices are thinking or considering that thought though.. just some food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upsloper Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Nice couplet on the elevated supercell heading toward Akron. Meso looks to pass south of me, but might get a bit of hail and some strong winds are trying to mix down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
