Cell merger is about to occur with the Dover/Hector cell. We’ll have to see if it disrupts or enhances it.

I'm afraid it's enhancing it. A lot of inflow being pulled in from the southern cells.

I think you might be right. Looks like another TVS.

Was about to say the same thing. This is the meanest it's looked so far, and it's trending in an ominous direction.

 

[buckeye05]

The merging cell definitely enhanced it. Monster isolated supercell here now.

 

[OHWX97]

An abundance of intense inflow is streaming into the meso. Nothing good can come from this.

 

[OHWX97]

Also keep a close eye on that cell developing southwest of Danville, AR.

 

[buckeye05]

New couplet and BWER now with the big cell near Leslie, AR.

Tornado on the ground

Of course, the northern AR cell is moving through a horrible radar hole. It's also tracking parallel to and just north/west of the Super Tuesday 2008 long-track beast.

Looks like a new meso is forming.

Looks like the Timbo cell is currently cycling.

Looks like the Timbo cell is currently cycling.

Either that or weakening. It looks a bit less organized now, but too early to say for sure.

Meso is going through Mountain View. Pray that it's not on the ground.

 

[akt1985]

Any word on Mountain View?

Doesn't look like anything strong was on the ground, if at all. No reports of damage there either.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

This thing just keeps on cranking but so far (fortunately) something has kept it in check from full beastmode (as in that 12/10 cell that tracked to the SE). Still, according to SPC this is the time when low-level shear was supposed to pick up. Hard to get a really good look at what's going on with it due to the mega radar hole it's right in the middle of.

New tornado warning on a cell west of Diamond City, AR about to cross into south-central MO.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Also, new tornado watch just issued to replace/extend tornado watch 33 until 2 AM.

 

[buckeye05]

Tornado on the ground near Theodosia, MO.

While it isn't rotating right now, the Fort Smith, AR area cell is looking pretty robust. Will have to see how it evolves as it moves to the northeast,
