I haven't looked too closely. I'll give a look a look soonish; from what I saw the other day, it seemed more like a high wind event with an embedded tornado
My local wx man keeps pushing this damn storm shield app that alerts in the middle of the night of shit going down. Is this widely used?
Short little SPC discussion: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0229.html Mesoscale Discussion 0229 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1009 PM CST Tue Feb 28 2017 Areas affected...Southeast Missouri...Southern Illinois...Southern Indiana Concerning...Tornado Watch 46... Valid 010409Z - 010515Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 46 continues. SUMMARY...Strong to violent tornadoes may exist along a corridor from southeast Missouri into southern Indiana this evening. DISCUSSION...Latest radar imagery indicates a possible violent tornado now ongoing near the Illinois/Indiana border now over White county Illinois, moving into Posey county Indiana. Other cells were also redeveloping to the southwest. Given extreme shear parameters and favorable instability in place, this corridor could be active for several hours. ..Jewell.. 03/01/2017 ATTN...WFO...LMK...IND...PAH...ILX...LSX...
When my infant and I say our prayer together this storm season we will pray that another Greensburg never happens while we sleep.
Local news just said at least two people dead in Perryville, MO after their car was blown off the road.
Closest to you would be Springfield, MO and Little Rock. Typically done at 12z and 00z (6am/6pm CST), unless there is a special sounding. Springfield just did one at 9pm. Here's the data from that. Good wind shear with it.
Mesoscale Discussion 0230 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1046 PM CST Tue Feb 28 2017 Areas affected...Eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 010446Z - 010645Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms may develop in the next few hours over eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas. Tornadoes and very large hail are possible. DISCUSSION...Showers appear to be deepening across parts of eastern Oklahoma, in advance of strong cooling aloft and approaching the surface moist axis where dewpoints are in the lower 60s. Due to strong winds and mixing, the boundary layer remains warm with temperatures in the 70s and relatively weak CIN. Given extreme cooling aloft, lapse rates are very steep, with MLCAPE to around 2000 J/kg. Shear is more impressive, with area VWPs indicating 0-1 SRH in excess of 500 to 600 m2/s2. Clearly, the environment favors tornadic supercells, conditional on storms forming. Several CAM solutions indicate storms in this area. A tornado watch is likely to be needed soon. ..Jewell/Edwards.. 03/01/2017 ATTN...WFO...LZK...SGF...SHV...TSA...FWD...OUN...
I'm a half hour south of Lima, OH someone please tell me if we are having a tornado. It's windy as fuck and my dog is acting weird.
Just some normal storms. Nothing to worry about. 50 mph wind gust report to your south. You'll probably get more storms by early morning though. Most likely just a wind threat.
