Little Rock radar, looks quite amazing to say the least, watch this. Lets hope we don't get these later on

Nearly perfectly aligned flow all the way up the column. Ill happily eat crow if I am wrong but I will believe that sounding produces long track sig tors when I see it.

Is that software free? My RadarOmega application has been unable to open on my computer for a few weeks now, and I've been unable to find a free alternative (GR2analyst is >200$!), and WeatherWise is too clunky.

its Supercell Wx, a free/open-souce application I main it over gr2 cuz I am loving these open-source stuff, if on mobile wX is like the best thing one can get, also free

Seems like wind and hail will be the primary threat for the current Twatch that is out, but wording is there for a few tornadoes with a couple intense tornadoes possible

Great! I'll download it when I get back home.

Tis but a small issue in the very near future in your general area!! Take heed.

Arkansas storm already has tops up to 52,000 feet.

 

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

cloud cover has returned to SE MO, not too sure what that entails but someone did say it will effect the event in someway

 

[Central Ohio Wx]

MDT for both tornadoes and intense tornadoes. High for hail.

 

[James Sm.]

60/40 tor probs on that watch

I don’t think you’re going to have a shortage of instability today, cloud cover or not. It’s been cloudy here all day and We had that crapvection come through here 45 minutes ago and it’s back to 78 degrees.

post merge could get ugly, def watch

yeah, plus it was clear there for a few hours if memory serves

How often does a tornado event start THIS early?

 

[DanLarsen34]

The primary limiting factor I see right now in the observed data is the lack of backed surface winds. Because the wind profiles in place right now in close proximity to these supercells are basically unidirectional, especially in Missouri, we're going to see them struggle to produce any kind of tornadoes over the next 2-3 hours barring mesoscale interactions like storm mergers or terrain locally enhancing low-level shear.
