Severe WX April 1-2 (overnight) Severe Weather Event

[AJS]

I’m not too sure, but based on the radar loop I just looked at it sure seemed like Centreville took a direct hit.

If something is on the ground, Centerville just took a nasty hit.

A request, I think we should move tomorrow's threat and Friday's threat to the 5th-6th thread given a) the magnitude of what is unfolding here and b) this is a separate shortwave/trough responsible for tomorrow/Friday/Saturday.

 

[UpperLevelLOL]

Centerville may have taken a direct hit

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

Debris might be getting high enough to escape the radar hole now.

 

[AJS]

Bethel Springs need to be sheltered now.

Question for a met: Did any of the CAMs show anything remotely like this going into the early morning hours? This feels completely unexpected. I wasn’t under the impression that the event would be going on for this long through the early morning, especially with the same vigor as earlier in the day.

A tornado killed 9 in TN 3/31. Night time ef3. Given what happened I believe it is possible but need official confirmation

 

[TH2002]

I'm resigning myself to bed. Doesn't look good, but hoping for the best out of Selmer, Grand Junction and everyone else who has been impacted by these storms. Goodnight everyone.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

Grand Junction might be getting hit again as we speak

I don't think many if at all had something of these magnitude occurring this late in the evening.

Tornadoes please let me sleep ..

Tor warns are really firing up again in KY, and OH, getting close to WV and PA.

Also, those apartments on New Bethel Road in Selmer appear to be Purdy Place Apts, which are brand new. Streetview shows them under construction in 2/2024. Right next to a mobile home park.

Curious about the claim that the Selmer elementary school was destroyed, as much of it was built recently. Perhaps that report was just talking about the older buildings.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

Reflectivity not looking good.

The hrrr was really the only model that had anything remotely close to this.

Current Violent Tornado Parameter via SPC Mesoanalysis page. You can see where the front is via temperature and dewpoints.

Really hard to tell what happened in Centerville. I'm hoping it was relatively weak on the ground, but CC is super tough to get a read on. Haven't seen very large debris until now.

 

[Kds86z]

I expect this may rise. Just putting all the sequence of events together. Hope I’m wrong but 3 so quick after it just happened so Early..
