Severe Weather Threat 4/27-4/28

[slenker]

Cell near Hickman KY may be one to watch, not super impressive looking but it is rotating

EDIT: nah, it’s completely cooked.

Really think Williamson County, Tenn. needs a tornado warning.

Thankfully I think the Arkansas storm got damaged by convection behind it so unless it goes more discrete again it probably won't produce another strong tornado.

Agreed. Tomorrow we’ll know for sure but my gut says what we saw over Batesville was a failed cycle rather than a touchdown.

Batesville, AR storm was undercut by the main line/front. Storms further in northeast AR are outflow dominant. Maybe something can spin up along the leading edge west of Dyersburg, TN. Storms in central TN are anemic being on the eastern edge of the moisture/instability plume. The line across OH/IN continues a downward trend, especially as it catches the swath of showers and storms that developed out ahead of it. Not a lot going for the event as of now...

As of 04Z, SPC Meso page reflects VTP parameter is between 15-17 near Memphis.

Can't MCS have classic supercells embedded in them? Don't think the tornado threat is gone even if it's quiet right now.

Yes they can

Tornado-warned embedded QLCS supercell storm ongoing south of Owensboro, KY, with an impressive couplet and inflow notch.

I wonder where that spreadsheet is hosted and what the formulae are. Could be useful as it takes quite a bit of speculation out.

 

[Kds86z]

Tennessee has gone tornadic..

Not related to the main system, but a sneaky and photogenic landspout reportedly briefly touched down in Utah earlier today:

 

[Kds86z]

Arkansas.. big TDS ! No warning

 

[Kds86z]

Not as big now, was bigger. Now finally warned.

Finally TOR warned, but not observed... then again, this is NWS Memphis we're dealing with. No surprise.

edit: finally upgraded to observed just as I posted this

Think it either significantly weakened or lifted, I'd look to the west edge of the same mcs.

Ah yes good old Memphis nws..

Tornado Warning for Dyersburg, TN. We've definitely entered QLCS mode.
