Winnfield is sitting dead red for a nasty hook

Impressive debris ball on the storm near Ft. Polk.

that's got to be a major tornado by Ft. Polk

At about what time can we expect it to get ugly. If it will, near BR?

It formed right after it went over top of me. It was scary for about 15 minutes.

You don't see images like that very often with Louisiana tornadoes. Wow.

Reed Timmer is Facebook Live doing updates (not out chasing)
on the correlation coefficient model... the Ft. Polk tornado ... where reds and blues came together... there was some purple starting to show up

Timmer saying Winnfield should be seeing some RFD right now

143mph gate-to-gate shear over Winnfield.

If you look at the hook in the top of the image I posted, you will see a ball of higher reflectivity at the bottom of the hook. This is known as a debris ball, because it is caused by the radar beam bouncing off the debris that is being lofted into the air by the tornado. It is a good indicator that you have a strong tornado on the ground.

I see it in this pic.

oh shite... the DeRidder/Ft. Polk storms... if they stay together they could head up my way in Alexandria
Posted on 12/16/19 at 12:05 pm to rt3
storm that just left Winnfield may be putting down a tornado
Posted on 12/16/19 at 12:05 pm to Bedhog
That’s just the circulation on the velocity (the rotating winds). To see debris, you need to look at reflectivity or correlation coefficient.

Its a snow day in Fort Leonard Wood, MO.

The amazing thing about radar advancements over the past few years is that it doesn't even take a large or strong tornado to show a debris signature. I've noticed smaller and smaller tornados producing the signature over the past few years. Radar is so good these days, and is continuing to improve.
