Severe Weather Threat 4/27-4/28

[DanLarsen34]

the velocity couplet on the Mountain View storm is definitely supportive of a strong to intense tornado. Keep in mind that it’s quite a distance from radar, and we have no CC drop yet, but it has the potential to produce something significant.

It would be very 2026 for there to be a random strong tornado along this portion of the line, at this time during the event. Also, I would post a picture but cannot, the Mountain View, AR storm does genuinely have the best velocity couplet I’ve seen all day on a supercell.

EDIT: The velocity couplet is very, very good, wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s strong and down.

Now we're talking

Yeah, that Mountain View storm is nasty. Probably the most impressive signatures I've seen from a discrete supercell during this entire event. It would honestly be quite an anomaly if this thing ends up producing a sigtor despite the unfavorable placement of the LLJ.

Quoting myself here: the best thing about where this may be occurring is that it’s super rural.

 

[TornadoFan]

Geez. That's nasty.

 

[Maxis_s]

Possible light TDS, we'll have to see for next scan
PDS, confirmed by law enforcement. Real deal here

 

[Kds86z]

Tds....on mountain view

 

[Chris3024]

Possible TDS, south of Mountain View

 

[TornadoFan]

TDS and PDS warning on it now!

 

[Maxis_s]

Deep TDS! Strong-intense tornado ongoing!

 

[lurker]

To see a TDS like this in a radar hole is pretty crazy.

 

[TornadoFan]

That TDS just deepened significantly on the next scan....

 

[eep]

Remember that this CC is extremely above ground, this is Intense-violent tbh.

 

[Kds86z]

First supercell confirmed tornado of day.

 

[slenker]

This is peak 2026: Nothing happens in the main risk area, and there’s a random beast that drops well outside of it. Exactly what happened with Enid and Union City.

 

[TH2002]

Wow.

 

[zath]

Mountain View, AR tornado has debris up to 10k feet.

 

[TornadoFan]

Latest CC scan. Wow.

 

[Maxis_s]

I told you guys Arkansas was a sleeper threat! I knew it!

 

[Muwx]

TDS over 10,000 feet. Very Unlikely, but non zero chance at a violent tornado here.
