re: Tornado! High Risk Day w/ 3 Active PDS Watches

The Natchez area is really in no man's land as far as velocity maps are concerned. KLIX, KPOE, and KDGX all have Natchez on the periphery.

I hope not

These tornadic systems are the worst. No sun, no care.

They just keep rolling.

Just got two new tornado warnings in the Jackson, MS area.

That is a textbook hook echo, but hopefully the convection from the south cuts it off.

The one I saw on video near Plain Dealing looked like a monster

The PDS watch area is looking pretty cluttered, hopefully that helps keep things in check tonight.

Cell NW of Forest, MS seems to have cycled through that convection that came up from the south and has some broad rotation again.

Does appear to be tightening up

This is the first time since 4ish that we've had zero active tornado warnings in LA, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, or Florida.
