Valid 021906Z - 022000Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 110 continues. SUMMARY...The risk for significant tornadoes is increasing across Particularly Dangerous Situation Tornado Watch 110. DISCUSSION...Echo tops in association with supercell clusters and quasi-linear convective segments containing embedded supercells have exhibited notable increasing trends per radar imagery. This activity is intensifying within a warm advection plume preceding a midlevel shortwave trough spreading across Texas. Pressure falls have been increasing in magnitude within the open warm sector from parts of the lower Sabine Valley eastward through central LA, south of a warm front analyzed from south of Shreveport to north of Alexandria LA. This suggests that increasing deep ascent will continue to encourage convective sustenance/intensification. The VAD wind profile at POE indicates a substantially curved hodograph in the lowest 3 km above ground, with around 400 m2/s2 of 0-1-km SRH. Rotating updrafts will remain likely as convection spreads eastward/east-northeastward across the region. The risk for significant tornadoes is increasing, along with damaging winds and severe hail. ..Cohen.. 04/02/2017 ATTN...WFO...JAN...LCH...SHV...

Msalgado Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Friend of mine was on the Alexandria storm. At least one large tornado was on the ground when he shot it but the video looks like there might have been another in the back as well. There were two couplets visible on radar at the time. Going to be a lot of damage in that town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddyweather Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 New circulation has split off from the old one and is located near the Ball, LA area. It appears the amateur radio stations in the Alexandria area are down. It also may be difficult to get reports as storms continue to train over the area.

Msalgado Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Ended up being a total bust here around BCS. I was on a couple of cells with rotation, but they never looked very strong. A notable abscense of lightning and strong wind here. I did not see any hail, but there are reports of some moderately large hail in the area. When the OFB surged in front of the southern storms, I called it and came back home. Paramters were definitely weaker here than advertised, but they still look incredible in Lousiana.

southmdwatcher Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Rotation looks tight once again on the Alexandria/Ball supercell and it is starting to hook a bit to the right.
