Severe Weather outbreaks

[A_Skellington]

Well I just got woken up by news of Hot Springs getting hit by a tornado.
It seems there was a freak cell that fired up.

The cell that's going through Little Rock is pathing similarly to the 3/31/23 tornado producing cell.

Spoiler

I saw the tornado firsthand in Pulaski County and had to drive through where it tore shit up in another city nearby.

As I type there's another Tornado Warning being issued for Lonoke County.

I really, really have a bad feeling about today now.

I really, really have a bad feeling about today now.

Biggest forecast threat is just outside AR, but still likely very active

We've had tornadoes here in Southern Ontario, so seeing that blob steadily reaching up here has me concerned for the future, to say the least. The Lakes are responsible for all sorts of weird weather so who knows.

Yeah... it might be bad. An upgrade to a 15% hatched risk of tornadoes is being considered for Tennessee.
Edit: Yeah, this is not gonna be good.

Poor Tennessee has been hit every day of this outbreak so far. There's two tornado warnings there now, even.

Confirmed tornado on the ground in Tennessee

They've been popping off all day.
My chaser buddy just told me that there's several places in this region with a CAPE over 2500. 1000 is a cause for worry.

The situation as of 2:50 is that the NWS expects "explosive" formation of cells in Oklahoma turning into a squall line with the potential for all kinds of severe weather through OK, AR, and beyond.

Heard from some family in the area that they're even pre-emptively closing churches for Wednesday night service.

Stay safe, midwest homies.

My chaser buddy just told me that there's several places in this region with a CAPE over 2500. 1000 is a cause for worry.

Oh it's way more than 2500 in some areas.

So far nothing in Gawga, though we're under a slight severe risk. Sounds like we might get thunderstorms at least tonight and tomorrow.

That's 5500 in East Oklahoma and a uniform 4000-4500 over all of Arkansas.

How is this not turning historical?

Wind shear is very low in most areas.

 

[A_Skellington]

So that's what isn't letting the potential spark like a powder keg, correct?

 

[Overwritten Tapes]

We had a short tornado watch last night, was a slight drizzle. Today and tomorrow Supposed thunderstorms.

Mother Nature needs to settle down.

Mother Nature needs to settle down.

Any day in the last week could have gone much worse than it did.

 

[#FF0000]

Downtown Huntsville, AL just got hit by a wedge tornado.
Images aren't working for some reason so I'll edit this message later to include a pic of it.

 

[A_Skellington]

Jesus, that's not good at all.
They haven't said anything about it being a mass casualty event have they?
