phil882 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 One thing that is likely being overlooked in this thread is also the potential for catastrophic flooding across areas just north of the warm frontal boundary. Memphis in particular may be very hard hit. It might not be as sexy to watch as supercells, but this could also end up being a substantial societal impact.

Memphis already has been hard hit, not good. I think they got 3 inches of rain already today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSUBlizzicane2007 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Also for those who know chasers, even though it's just outside of the highest of the high risk area, US 65 outside of Pine Bluff is also great chase areas. It's really once I-530 gets about 1/3 of the way from PB to LR that it starts getting super hilly. I imagine that parts of AR SW of US 65 are similarly favorable terrain wise.

phil882 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Memphis already has been hard hit, not good. I think they got 3 inches of rain already today. You can see how the remnant outflow boundary associated with this morning's MCS has allowed elevated convection to continue to backbuild. As the supercells fire up further south and west, its the Memphis area that's likely to get the brunt of the heavy rainfall this afternoon and evening.

Justin Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Personally I have a gut feeling for the area around or just a hair N and NE of Little Rock to see something very nasty later this evening. That boundary is going to try and lift through there, low level jet cranking up, strong instability feeding into that area this evening, and perhaps an outflow boundary from the convection going through Memphis.... I think that area has all the ingredients... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabot was flattened in 1976 and surrounded in 2011. I so hope you are wrong. I so hope this is a bust. I really do (no chance of that happening I know). I am driving to Cabot in 2 weeks to visit my friends and family...I really don't want to have to start driving out there tonight lest something terrible happen. :/ Thank you so much for the information everyone, you have no idea how many people you are helping. well, I'm sure you do, but y'know. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1900hurricane Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Dryline cells in Texas aren't looking as good as I thought they would at this point, but they are still well upstream of the best directional shear. I'd probably be setting up to eventually follow and intercept the southernmost cell if I weren't sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Certainly can't complain about a T.Td spread with those numbers around Little Rock. Very concerning for central and southern AR this evening with enough recovery time for incoming supercells to mature and be affected by the boudaries in the area. I hope people there are paying attention to this PDS watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 one big question for the memphis area. so we will most likely have localized flash flooding to add to this list for this evening into the overnight. what if we add that to any severe cells to that as well later tonight into the overnight? can emergency crews trying to clear up a flash flood be able to do so if we get gusts of 65+, hail, and maybe a twister in the area involved? i know that's thinking worst-case here, but it's kind of a scary thought if you're an EM person there in Memphis/West Memphis/Tunica right now.

snowisgood Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Fayetteville is probably more of a severe thunderstorm threat rather than a tornado threat eh? Skies are clear now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 The incoming developing supercells will be traversing mountainous recreational terrain as they initially progress ne. I do hope campers and people completing weekend activities in that forested region are aware of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
