* TORNADO WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL ARKANSAS
I wouldn't be surprised to see a watch of some type issued for N. La at some point tonight.

The Arkansas damage looks horrible.
There are a couple of smaller storms popping up in central/northern MS now. One near Tupelo and another not far from Batesville. Doesn't look like much, but with this kind of system, people in the area should keep their eye on it. Central Arkansas and southern Missouri still seem to be getting a lot right now.
I think Alabama and Miss will get the worst of it tomorrow....looks like it came through slower than anticipated.

And now storms firing as far west as just east of DFW, this is starting to look like a case of delayed but not denied.

DISCUSSION... OTHER THAN EXTENDING SOME COUNTIES IN NE TX AND SW AR IN TORNADO WATCH 97 NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE. THIS EVENING A LARGE UPPER CLOSED LOW CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL ROTATE AS IT WOBBLES NORTHEAST AND THEN SOUTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY WITH SEVERAL SPOKES OF ENERGY MOVING AROUND THE PERIPHERY HELPING TO CONTINUE A THREAT FOR WEATHER. LATER DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CHANCE FOR RE- DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FOUR STATE REGION NEAR AND WITH A DRY LINE OUT TO THE WEST FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY A COLD FRONT. THE COLD FRONT WILL OVERTAKE THE DRY LINE AND BY AROUND 6 TO 7 AM POSSIBLY NEARING A TEXARKANA ARKANSAS TO JACKSONVILLE TEXAS LINE...MOVING TO NEAR AN EL DORADO ARKANSAS TO SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA AND LUFKIN TEXAS NEAR MID DAY. /06/

I won't lay off him. Congrats in defending a guy driving by a woman who was screaming for her baby and continued to film.
You know zero details about that short video. People respond to situations differently. Yes, I'm defending him b/c I refuse to formulate conclusions about something I was not there to witness. Do you think people died b/c he shot a <1 minute video?

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0441
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1045 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF EASTERN TX...WRN LA...FAR SWRN AR
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 280345Z - 280545Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT
SUMMARY...THE AREA IS BEING MONITORED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF AN
INCREASING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...AND FOR
POSSIBLE WW ISSUANCE.
DISCUSSION...WATER VAPOR LOOPS IMPLY THAT MID-LEVEL ASCENT IS
OVERTAKING MOIST/STRONGLY UNSTABLE AIR E OF A WAVY DRYLINE ANALYZED
FROM ERN PARTS OF THE DFW METROPLEX TO WACO TO THE LOWER RIO GRANDE
VALLEY. IR IMAGERY DEPICTS ACCAS DEVELOPMENT OVER N-CNTRL TX FROM
WHICH COMPOSITE RADAR LOOPS SUGGEST CONVECTION BEGINNING TO BLOSSOM
NEAR/E OF THE DRYLINE. STRENGTHENING DEEP ASCENT AND ASSOCIATED
MID-LEVEL COOLING MAY OFFSET NOCTURNAL STABILIZATION TO ENCOURAGE
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WITH MLCAPE AROUND
2500-4000 J/KG OVERLAPPING WITH 45-70 KT OF EFFECTIVE BULK
SHEAR...INTENSE/SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS SUPPORTING LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS MAY ENSUE. CONVECTION COULD EVOLVE INTO QLCS SEGMENTS
PERHAPS SUPPORTING A GREATER DMGG WIND RISK. GIVEN 30-40 KT OF
0-1-KM BULK SHEAR PER VWP DATA...A TORNADO POTENTIAL WILL EXIST.

Just saw a twitter from Storm Prediction Center that discussed the POSSIBILITY of issuing watches in east Texas, western central and north Louisiana. Nothing has been issued it is just a possibility.
I think there is a pretty high chance of that. It is starting to look like everything is running about 6 hours behind what was modeled last night / early this morning. However, the tornado threat should be reduced given the fact that day time heating is fading.

I deleted mine. I figured you would post it so I deleted mine. You can explain better than me. Small line of storms starting east of Dallas.

They must have issued that while I was fighting my phone to get my post up

Prayers for those in Arkansas, terrible terrible stuff today. That is really upsetting.
Posted on 4/27/14 at 11:07 pm to rds dc
This is why I would never say an area is all clear until the system has completely passed.

I can't wait till this shite is over.

glad you didn't go to bed thinking it was over

remember none of this is an exact science, all they can see is there is a chance you could get hit, and its better to be safe than sorry as you have seen in arkansas.

The cells east of Waco are kind of getting that look, hopefully they line out soon.
