With us slowly leaving this weird outbreak thing, wasn't there another day just like this one where clouds were a meter above the ground and there were just, no real significant tornadoes (at least from the main cluster)? This day gave me deja vu.

I mean based on what happened in Runaway Bay, it sounds like there was at least one significant tornado today. Also we still have at least 3 more days of outbreak to go.

Honestly, this is why I’ve never been a big fan of set-ups that are so dependent on storms riding a boundary. Yes, every once in a while you get a major tornado producer like the Kankakee day (and even that cell wasn’t riding the warm front as Trey’s breakdown with Cameron Nixon dove into). However, these setups more often seem to do what we saw today.

The most significant tornado producer of the day ended up being well removed from the effective boundary we were all concerned about.

Tried to clarify I was referring to the Oklahoma storms, the true tornadic storm was the mesoscale long tracker (and now an Arkansas storm maybe?) But I swear the bust in OK had a twin a few years ago.

Also yeah, I think the failure to use up the parameters of today just means that tomorrow will end up possibly uptrending.
 
Yeah I’m not really getting the logic behind the PDS warning in Arkansas. No debris signature either, and it’s in a radar hole.

Tangentially related but I do remember a trailer park in Nashville, AR getting hit by a fatal EF2 QLCS tornado back in 2015 during that outbreak sequence that produced Bridge Creek, OKC, Cisco, Delmont, and Van. The radar hole was so bad there was no sign that anything significant had happened in Nashville until the morning after.
 
People are parking under overpasses again. Both Ryan Hall and Max Velocity are rightfully calling out those people, with the latter even going so far as to declare that if he sees that happen one more time, he'll crash out!

It's trying. There's some notable upper level rotation, but it's all above 10kft so it's still got a while to get to the surface. It certainly isn't outflow dominant though.

It’s notable that there’s a forward surge of the hook right now near Benbrook that’s clearly visible in the latest reflectivity loop. It’s still west of the outflow from what I can tell, but if that surge is successful, it could become surface based and produce again shortly.
