Alright Arkansas people, what is the story on Perry County's Northwest border? Did the town drunk draw that thing?

they thought they were designing a house instead of a county border and that's where the stairwell was going to go

FWIW, the only PDS I pulled on the HRRR was generally in North central LA. I didn't save it and couldn't find it again.

I just pulled one on the 15z HRRR in western MS, not far from where MS, AR, and LA all come together. Valid at 4pm CDT this afternoon.

Interesting bit of embedded rotation NW of Texarkana.

Its contaminated due to the convection ongoing. Which cranks the tornado potential for the sounding.

One thing to watch for when pulling soundings from models is contamination. Sometimes if you pull one from an area with convection already firing, that convection can contaminate the sounding. The key way to tell this are the red lines on the left extending way too far to the right. Another is the dew and temp being abnormally/unusually close together throughout the column. You can usually pick a slightly different spot or back the model up by an hour to get a clean sounding.

Seems to me that broken line is moving pretty slow it’s been hanging around Texarkana for awhile.

I remember reading yesterday the reason discrete cells were possible in my area is the tail end was expected to lag behind allowing for daytime heating and increased instability

Thanks for pointing that out Duke and Legend! I'm still learning about reading soundings. Now I know something new.

Legend, in this case does North Central LA mean east or west of a line from, say, Ruston to Alexandria?

Watch all these little boundaries starting to show up. Cells/storms can fire along any of those as we start to get toward the heating of the day.

Moderate Extended south just like I figured

Timing of it arriving here keeps getting pushed back later. Earlier this morning it was 2pm now saying 4pm. Which is bad news

I think that line of storms will move across central Arkansas toward Memphis and everything south will have discrete cell potential this afternoon

He, Wishin....there's also a radar down near Hernando that I didn't know about:

It isn't dual-pol, but it is another that can show Base data.

ETA: Nevermind, that's the airport one that shows up on RadarScope. It is just labeled differently on Omega. Carry on....

Yea I knew that one was there, won’t quite get here sadly plus isn’t dual pole

Ohh well, I figured when the cows start flying by it’s time to take cover

What MPH wind triggers the warning/probability?

Grabbing a contaminated sounding is basically a rite of passage on the journey.
