Wasn't Mayfield nailed by a tornado a few years ago? ETA After this post I kept reading, and it appears so. Hope all in these predicted areas stay safe
Yep, a long-tracked EF-4 tornado hit Mayfield December 10, 2021.
Pisco, who has been posting in this thread, lives in Mayfield.

Not really, but maybe.

If there’s one there, it’s most likely rain-wrapped now.

I don't think it is right now. It wrapped up and was close, but has broadened back out.

A day that starts with an 8 a.m. tornado warning is usually not going to be a good weather day.

All the schools here have been let out. They started dismissing at 11:30.
Yeah I was a 1/2 mile North of the Mayfield tornado in the church basement. I told everyone in that weather thread I loved them. I felt safe, but I could’ve died.

It isn't very often that you see a 45% hatched area for hail in the Midwest. This was a hail and wind driven upgrade to Mod, so at least it wasn't for tornadoes.

My dad was a half mile north of that tornado when it passed Dawson Springs. He was staying in a trailer at our camp and I obviously lost contact with him around 11 that night. Didn’t know what happened until the next morning he was finally able to get a message out that they were fine. That was a very scary night.

The updated maps are in the OP of this thread but SPC has expanded the enhanced risk some for today and added an enhanced risk for tomorrow.

There is a line of flash flood warnings from just south of Kansas City at the Kansas border almost to St. Louis.

People always ask about comparisons between events, and today's setup is worthy of drawing comparisons to some past higher end events/setups.
For today and tonight all of the ingredients are on the table for a high end day of severe weather. We have the CAPE in spades, we have plenty of shear, moisture is the best we've seen all season, and lapse rates are decent. All of this encompasses a large geographical area with a substantial warm sector.
The main drawback for today when drawing comparisons to other events is forcing. We have no main, dominant area of forcing to coordinate storm development. The LLJ is offset a bit to the South. It will advance northward as the day goes on and the surface low in the upper Plains deepens a bit, but it doesn't phase all that well with the upper trough. We have the warm front up North that will act as forcing for storms, we have outflow boundaries from these morning storms that could force storms, and we have the dry line out West that will force storms. Each of those areas is worthy of it's own forecast.
This is a messy, messy setup and it will be over a long duration with pretty much every possible storm mode on the table.
