Not to derail this thread, but the radar holes in Arkansas/Louisiana/MS delta are straight up pathetic and unacceptable for 21st century weather. Way too many in some of the most active regions in the country.

IIRC there's a bill being introduced to fund a new radar in that exact area! Lemme see if I can find it later.

where do you find this map at?

The SPC mesoanalysis map. Here's the link; just select whatever region you're most interested in:

I thought Durant was supposed to get a radar? I'd be privy of it during these current events.

Yeah not to derail the thread more but we should be investing more into installing radar sites to cover everything. Everyone deserves to be able to be given adequate warning if their life is in danger.

Believe they did, but its not NWS? Cant remember specifics....or honestly how to access it

Dealing with some really weird connectivity problems with GR2A. Either way, that's a dangerous-looking storm up by Sulphur Springs, though hard to tell how close to the ground it is.

Good to hear it's not just me. Definitely an issue with the Iowa State servers.

US needs a radar system overhaul regardless actually. The NWS needs a overhaul too, honestly the SPC website looks like it was made in the 2000s.

Two rather tight rotations in Texas. Still rather far from the radar though so it maybe higher up.

Guess it could’ve been HIGH if not said issues

Not sure about the SPC site but I know weather.gov is getting a complete overhaul, I believe both front-end and back-end, and it should be publicly available later this year or by 2026.

Those two storms just got even stronger, the Emory one just got a tornado warning

 

[UncleJuJu98]

A tornado warning should be coming for Canton texas, a rather impressive meso.

Wasn’t that hit be eF4 in last decade?

Not sure,

Well they decided to go with a severe thunderstorm for some reason.

 

[Maxis_s]

SBCAPE values exceeding 5,000 J/kg in parts of southern Arkansas already. Don't think that was even close to being forecasted.

TOR issued for Canton basically immediately after the severe warning. Quite the signature now.
