Severe potential 2/23-2/25

[SilentShadow87]

Actually quite unhappy w/ the NWS in Louisville, had a couplet and debris signature 15 minutes before the storm was even tornado warned. The cell even got severe warned while it had an obvious tornado on the ground. Pathetic.

Remember last year when one of the supercells in Texas had produced a large, violent wedge by the time it was tor warned? If I'm remembering right I think that was the Dimmitt supercell, but I could be wrong.

Looks it produced some pretty significant damage.

Tornado warnings in northeast Ark. now, couple of little kinks in the line.

Suspicious isolated cells breaking out in MS, N of Jackson

Debris signature seems present with warning near Osceola, AR, on the TN state line. Warning text says large and dangerous confirmed tornado.

The Weather Channel confirms 2 fatalities in Kentucky from that tornado.

So sad, they'd just talked about (on TWC) that there'd been over 200 days since a tornado death! [emoji29][emoji29]

At least one of the deaths was in an interior room of a house. Always tragic when people do exactly the right thing and lose their lives anyway.

The house has been reported to be "destroyed". Unless it's down to damage from falling trees then we're probably looking at EF3/high-end EF2 damage.

 

[warneagle]

One of the guys who was there while it was still light out guessed it was about EF3 damage.

This system was definitely an overperformer. Several strong QLCS and lapse rates/instability were definitely higher than modeled.

 

[warneagle]

Definitely not over yet either.

 

[SilentShadow87]

QLCS events are hit and miss. The 4/4/11 and morning of 4/27/11 ones in particular stand out. Obviously this one didn't produce 40+ tornadoes, but there appear to have been at least two in the EF2-EF3 range.

New tornado watch out for middle Tennessee and south central Kentucky.

THE WEATHER CHANNEL should be ashamed for not covering this weather.

 

[warneagle]

probably a tornado on the ground southwest of Clarksville

confirmed tornado east of Adams, Tenn.

ok i am convinced now that WeatherNation is a better product

 

[warneagle]

3 active tornado warnings and they're showing the stupid trucking show, unbelievable

This is turning into a very dangerous and damaging event!!
Kudos to The WEATHER Channel for choosing to entertain rather than discuss, I thought y'all were past this!! [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

At least one confirmed (presumably) tornado-related fatality in northeast Ark. as well.
