Tornado warning on the cell in SE MO about to move into IL.

I bet these storms are dropping some serious hail too based on that reflectivity.

Agreed...tornadoes tend to draw all of the attention but they're obviously not the only dangerous or impressive features of a severe thunderstorm.

Just watched a very strong tornado develop in the last 5 minutes, went from nothing to 172 kt gate-to-gate shear and a big debris ball near Crossville, IL getting close to the Indiana border.

Looks violent.

Update: getting a 68 DBZ debris signature on this new tornado in its very early stages; it's close to the radar and is going to pass within a few miles of it. Probably going to get either a bunch of range folding or a really cool view of a tornado from close range.

(the scan after this had some of the values cut off, im guessing because it couldn't resolve them)

Well, there's your amazing radar image for the night. The strongest velocities are about 1 mile apart.

 

[warneagle]

New warning up along the MI/OH line. Strong rotation and maybe a debris signature? (It's pretty far from the Detroit radar and hard to tell)

[Helicity]

Tornado-warned cell in southwestern KY looks to be heading directly into or just south of Murray. Anyone have any information on whether anything is confirmed with this one?

 

[Helicity]

Looks like the rotation stayed just south of Murray, unclear if there is anything on the ground

 

[Lori]

I'm praying with these lead times (for warnings), people are able (and will) to take shelter....

 

[SilentShadow87]

Power, wifi, and cable are bouncing in and out up here in Ontario because of high winds so I can't see much at the moment. How's our second round of supercells doing? Last I checked it looked like east Illinois and southern Indiana were under the gun...hoping everyone's alright there

 

[PerryW]

Just saw on Twitter that a debris ball showed up near Perryville, MO. Debris lofted up as high as 20,000 feet.

Yes....I won't be surprised if this tornado is rated EF-5. Velocity reached 215 kts GTG shear.....and homes swept from foundation on Bart Comstock's video. Am very afraid of what daylight will reveal in this sleepy river town.

 

[Kory]

Moderate risk issued, with a 60% wind risk, for TN and KY. Widespread damaging winds with the squall line racing east.

60% wind probs are pretty eye-popping. Not too often you see 60% anything (not sure what it'd take to see 60% tornado probs). 45% for us here. At the office until ~12:30 and then heading home after a lunch meeting.
