Severe Weather Threat 5/25-5/26, 2024

Is this thing moving due east? Cuz that's a mighty populated area east of Decatur. View attachment 28012

Unfortunately it looks like the case. Bentonville and surroundings are highly populous.

 

[Tanner]

Over 200mph GTG

 

[Clancy]

Ummm... Is that a damaging anticyclonic tornado associated with that monster in NW Arkansas??

Hard to tell but possibly.

Nope it absolutely is.

Hard to tell but possibly.

Correction: Yes, there are two strong tornadoes OTG atm.

 

[Maxis_s]

This is one of the most impressive storms I've seen in uh... a few days. Whoops.

So glad you didn’t go sleep …

The first monster ends up moving away from Decatur but a second one from the same cell decides to form right over town?? What is even happening?

 

[MoonBaby]

Man. I don’t have words.
I checked out for a while doing mommy stuff and came back to chaos.

What’s with 2024 and anticyclonic tornadoes? Feels like they’ve happened almost just as often as the normal ones.

Reflectivity debris ball with the anticyclonic tornado over Decatur!

The year of the wedge and the year of anticyclonic twisters, it feels like. It actually looks like the anticyclonic one might become dominant?

This is probably the worst continuous parent supercell since the one that spawned the Mayfield tornado.

 

[MMWX]

I think I'm seeing 3 CC drops

 

[Maxis_s]

Tornado miraculously occluded to the north before it hit more populated areas it seems. Phew.

 

[TornadoFan]

Seems the Decatur storm is producing 3 tornadoes

 

[Clancy]

Once again, can't make odds or ends of radar data.

 

[TH2002]

NASTY signature with the anticyclonic tornado... and this isn't even close to the radar like the one near KFDR earlier this month!

Unbelievable.
