a destructive t-storm warning ??

is this something new the NWS is doing now

That's existed for ages. It's basically a PDS t-storm warning. You have normal t-storm warnings, considerable t-storm warnings and destructive t-storm warnings.
Also, more damage from the tornadoes from yesterday via Ryan's stream in Valley View, TX.

Exposed basement, some windrowing present and debris partially swept off foundations. Very, very bad damage.

Watch that Cell south of Joplin

Was this from the Texas tornado???

Just FYI, the criteria:

Yes, Valley View, TX. Will edit the message to include that.

Uh oh spaghettio.

NWS started rolling out the impact based type warnings years back. Can't remember exact year or date. I really love it. I just wish they would make those twitter graphics available on their website. Those would be very useful.

You can pick out the individual supercells. Just textbook discrete look

 

[Maxis_s]

Pretty sure those stronger inbound winds on the cell south of Joplin appear to be contamination, but I may be wrong. Still needs to be monitored.

I feel like at least some of these houses were under construction or something, given how most of the lots are devoid of grass while certain houses have perfectly square lawns (I could be mistaken). Regardless, the tornado that impacted Valley View was strong, no doubt.

Did the tornado just go through every single one of those homes in a straight line?

No way it was that wide, because the debris has been rowed all in the same direction.

Here’s the full video btw. And turns out, it was actually that wide.

Nice product to show what environment those storms will be moving into.

Yea, those cells aren’t doing jack diddly until the LLJ kicks in and they move into Tennessee/Kentucky.

 

[Clancy]

SVRs out the wazoo right now.

 

[Muwx]

SWMO getting pretty lucky that shear isn’t higher… for now

 

[Equus]

Boy this escalated fast. The overlap of highly impressive destabilization and those big curved hodos coming with the LLJ - with discrete storm mode - is really attention-getting

According to the mesoanalysis forecast, SRH remains to be somewhat minimal in MO (under 200 m2/s2 effective SRH) and only gets stronger after everything congeals into a line. Are other models showing something different?
