I don’t know if it’s just me, but I swear looking at the KHGX radar it shows cells becoming more discrete.

[treypops]

92 mph wind gusts on the northern edge of that bow. And that bow is being pushed at 65 mph.

SVR warning getting a catastrophic tag from NWS.

 

[SmokeEater]

Bow is PDS warned to 90mph now.

 

[treypops]

92 mph wind gusts on the northern edge of that bow. And that bow is being pushed at 65 mph.

SVR warning getting a catastrophic tag from NWS.

Sorry, destructive tag.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Storm I mentioned that was north of Collierville earlier is now severe-warned north of Somerville, and Jackson is in the polygon.

 

[snostorm21]

That TOR warned storm
entering AR looks the most concerning in terms of short term tornado potential.

 

[TH2002]

Stout SVR-warned supercell north of Somerville, TN.

edit: Just went tornado warned.

 

[snostorm21]

Just as I say that, potentially on the ground now.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

That storm east of Memphis is VERY sus.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

That TOR warned storm
entering AR looks the most concerning in terms of short term tornado potential.

So of course it's in the middle of the giant radar hole, equidistant from KLZK, KSHV and KDGX.

 

[SmokeEater]

TW for Jackson, TN.

 

[SmokeEater]

Max showing a huge wall cloud on it.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Ryan on KAIT just mentioned a potential issue with all the repeated heavy thunderstorms across these same areas - some people's "tornado safe places" might well be full of water right now.

 

[AJS]

I do not like how this storm has been shown on radar. It’s been consistently growing and it is relatively on its own. Watching it pretty closely.

Might be the longest county list in a warning I've ever seen. Contains portions of four states, as well.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

That's one heck of a look on that supercell.
