SUre looks like a BWER on that storm near Blue Mountain.

Certainly some strong rotation on that cell.

 

[TornadoFan]

If there isn't something on the ground there, there's likely to be something soon.

 

[TornadoFan]

Well, something just blew up on the storm near Knoxville, AR. Huge TDS.

Looks more like contamination to me, but there's quite a few spotters and chasers on this cell right now. We'll have to see what they report is actually going on from their respective vantage points.

Two of yesterday's tornadoes were rated EF2 and EF3.

Textbook.

 

[TH2002]

The cell near Sugar Grove warrants watching as well.

 

[TornadoFan]

If that Pope County storm doesn't drop anything, I'll be surprised. It's looking real classic now.

The main cell near Dover looks pretty textbook on regular reflectivity, but seems to be struggling to produce a strong, tight meso. No obvious signs of debris on CC either.

 

[buckeye05]

Ok now it might actually be dropping something, based on what appears to be a small TVS.

 

[OHWX97]

 

[buckeye05]

That went from not much to TOG in one scan. Shows how fast these things can form.

 

[buckeye05]

Two areas of rotation now? Can’t say for sure because I don’t see much on reflectivity that corresponds with the northern rotation.

 

[buckeye05]

The Havana and Danville cells, while quite small, have developing mesos. They could cause problems if they grow and intensify.

 

[atrainguy]

Looks like maybe a tornado near Corning in the NE part of AR.

 

[TH2002]

I'm not quite sure what to make of this now. Is it trying to form a new meso? Also note the rotation on the smaller cells to its SW

 

[buckeye05]

Looks like maybe a tornado near Corning in the NE part of AR.

That’s worrisome considering that the cells up in that area haven’t looked that impressive. It might not take much for storms to produce today.

Doesn't help that they're in between radars.

 

[buckeye05]

Trees down and damage reported to a fire department building from the Dover, AR tornado.

 

[buckeye05]

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