Dequeen Arkansas might need a nado warning soon

I'm doing the same. This is such a large-scale (geographically) event that I think its going to be almost as fun to track at home to be able to grasp the scope of it, rather than focusing on a certain area. If things come to fruition, youll probably see cases of 15+ Tornado warnings at a time.

The wife and kids are going to be freaking out, and they really rely on me to help them know when we need to batten down, and when we are okay. So it's best that I stick around here. And as you said, this storm is so broad that there's going to be plenty of stuff to be looking at that I might miss out on the road.

I hate to ask this but work has gotten busy, what times are things going to start firing off on both sections?

The area in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, probably within the next hour or so. The area down south will be tonight. Probably starting between 6 and 8. I haven't seen official timelines for those areas.

Cannot believe my eyes. 16z HRRR about as close as forecasting a super outbreak as models get. Hopefully not as bad as HRRR suggests

My word

I have a number of extended family members who live in the St. Louis area. I've been texting as many of them as I can and warning them of today's forecast, and to stay weather-aware today and have a safety plan ready!

Great idea. Much better to make them mad for overhyping a storm if it doesn't make, then to see them get caught off guard if it does.

But I have a gut feeling that St. Louis is going to see some fireworks.

100% somebody's going to get hurt today, it's not even a question. There's literally been a chaser incident with every event.

Considering the storm motions, anyone who gets themselves in a bad spot is going to have very little time to get out of it. I sure hope people use a little common sense, but unfortunately that may be asking too much.

I was out at lunch when the updated outlook was published, so I just noticed that the southern part of the Chicago metro is now in moderate. Oof.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that HHHR may be overcooking things here. I mean, it has to be, right?

I haven’t saw a run like that since 2019. Wow

I should certainly hope so.

if anything it may have been undercooking the instability a bit

At 1155 AM CDT, a severe thunderstorm was located near Brunswick, or 9 miles north of Slater, moving northeast at 70 mph.

These things are hauling you know what today

I spoke with a friend of mine who chases and was chasing the F4 in the Delta of Mississippi, and drove into Silver City right after it got hit. He said there's too many chasers. What worries me is increasing the risk because of so many more people out on the road no matter if they're new guys or season pros. The El Reno F5 killed Tim Samaras who was a very seasoned storm chaser probably pursuing science as much as the tornadoes.

There are definitely too many chasers on the road and half of them don't know what the hell they're doing. But in the case of Rolling Fork and Silver City, many of those chasers became rapid response resources helping pull trapped people out of rubble. Thank God for the ones who jumped in to help. Some of them are forever changed.

have to think the cells beginning to develop due south of kansas city may become our troublemakers.

This is my big worry. Streaming and social media seem to have given the chasing hobby a huge boost and now there are just so many people doing it. With days like today and fast-moving storms, that also means more people driving distracted and too fast, which puts normal people, possibly trying to prepare and shelter, in danger, too.

Oof

 

[TimM]

There's a severe warned storm heading towards me here in Arkansas. It has some broad rotation.

 

[treypops]

Oof....near Memphis
