PDS warned now.

Was this relatively early on in the path? Maybe that’s why it isn’t as extreme.

This was just southwest of Pelvna, which according to radar, is where the tornado peaked.

KNWA was knocked off the air, they're still live online.

PDS warning

Tornado southeast of Fayetteville, AR has bottomed out on CC. Likely a strong tornado, but it looks like it finally may be weakening at least for now. Another tornado likely trying to develop southwest of Fort Smith, AR.

 

[zath]

Tornado (possible) near Fort Smith, AR is heading directly towards the radar site.

 

[Jbop]

Max stream just reported that the tornado is heading right for the radar site

We'll have to wait for the results from the "practically perfect forecast" model, but I personally wouldn't be surprised if today's Moderate Risk ends up verifying!

 

[slenker]

There’s your violent tree damage.

That’s pretty nasty. I want to see what the ground surrounding them looks like too.

 

[zath]

Likely a tornado in Fort Smith, AR or something based on cameras and the fact that rotation was detected 70 feet off the ground... basically right outside the radar dome.
edit: Next scan shows a debris signature.

Yep, definite tornado just barely missed the radar to the south. Possibly strong.

Jesus, they look like they were stubbed and shredded.

 

[Tennie]

An OTG tornado just barely missed the Fort Smith radar. Now it's under a TORR.

I am not going to count on it but I hope this tornado gets at least an EF4 rating.
