Severe WX Severe Weather Threat 4/2/17-4/3/17

[Kory]

I bet that is very annoying for you guys.

The push toward centralization is not a good one. What is the point of local offices then?

5-10 mins ago on TWC:

 

[BayouWeatherGeek]

TWC has a debris ball not far from Jena, LA.

 

[ARCC]

The NAM goes bonkers with CAPE after the line moves through with some reading of 4500+. If anything can pop there it will drop massive hail.

 

[Bama Ravens]

We have to closely match SPC now. So it's essentially the D2 outlook. I'm not buying the hype right now.

yeah, there seems to be a lot of uncertainty. I have doubts about the northward extent of the CAPE.

Off topic, but someone at yall's office should be told that when you guys do a perisope live update, to change the comments settings to allow questions/comments from more than just users that the NWS Bham periscope account follows. Satterwhite asked for questions on the one he just did, but nobody could post them, unless yall's account followed them.

Solid squall line behind the supercells.

Well they've shrunk the high risk area back into what I think is the smallest ever:

Am I seeing a horizontal vortex tube near the bottom left?

 

[Bama Ravens]

Tornado on the ground back on the squall line, just south of Florien. Rotation was really strong a few sweeps ago.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Another storm just SE of Alexandria, LA is starting to really rotate.

 

[Equus]

I really hate the radar hole in northeast LA. I wish they'd put one in near Greenville, MS or something, but alas.

Alexandria storm from earlier still looks quite impressive.

 

[SilentShadow87]

Power flashes on John Humpress' stream, Rapides County. Interesting since the storm doesn't look that impressive on radar.

 

[Equus]

Wow at the storm east of Pineville. Wouldn't be surprised if it went tornado warned any minute now.

Can you link us to that stream?

[stebo]

TDS just southwest of Rogers LA, moving right into town...

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Good thing there's basically nothing to Rogers. Most impressive CC drop and couplet of the day. Nebo however is more populated and may be in trouble.

 

[KoD]

Velocities are really ramping up.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Can't believe there is no TORR/"Radar Confirmed Tornado" tag on the warning yet. Lot more obvious than a lot of the ones with that wording thus far today.

* Jena needs to watch out for this as well.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Chaser Gary Schmitt is in Jena as another confirmed tornado approaches the city.
