Jim Martin Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Skies beginning to clear out some in eastern Arkansas/western Tennessee/northwest Mississippi. Current wind profile from Little Rock, Arkansas. Atmosphere becoming more unstable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoonman1 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Pretty likely there was a tornado east of Bonneville, AR a bit ago. Had a noticeable debris signature.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 From the Storm Prediction Center in their latest Mesoscale Discussion... LLJ has strengthened across the Arklatex and shear profiles remain very favorable for supercells and potential tornadoes. While the warm front should continue to focus convection, especially just ahead of the surface low, robust convection should increase south of the low along the surging cold front over the next few hours. Damaging winds will become increasingly likely with surging line segments that mature along the cold front. Otherwise, tornado threat continues, especially with supercells.

Indystorm Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 If the report is correct, some Arkansas storms are moving ne at 80 mph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yeah, I posted the MD in the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley thread as well since these storms will be moving northeastward. The key will be how far that WF advances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 ...and that's why they say "...in and CLOSE TO the watch area." Looking at CC of off KOHX, I could swear a TDS just passed much closer to Russellville but that's the wrong part of the storm, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 2 minutes ago, JPOracle said: Adairville, KY had a EF3 or something near that strength of the tornado go through town, Damage is pretty bad We won't know the rating until the NWS surveys tomorrow. And I assume the image you used as reference is the one I'm gonna put below. In which case there's not nearly enough information available to accurately estimate the tornado's intensity. Sometimes it can be done if you have multiple good images and a before and after, but one image from far away doesn't give enough info. Basically you need to know the structural integrity of the structure before hand and compare it to damage done afterwards. If either of those is lacking, don't guess the EF rating. In fact, some people don't like people guessing EF ratings at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
