Definite possibility of severe weather tonight - WU

Well, you most likely know that it is VERY warm for early March. In fact, here at my house, it is presently 86.3 degrees. We are not helped from the winds as they are warm winds. These ingredients will help to make a good possibility of severe weather tonight.

The SPC in Norman, OK, has placed most of Arkansas a under a moderate risk of severe weather today. The rest of the Mid-South is under a slight risk for severe weather.

Locally, the NWS in Memphis thinks that the best bet for severe weather will be northern Arkansas and the Missouri bootheel. However, severe weather could occur anywhere across the Mid-South tonight.

Here we go again... - WU

Just two days after our lovely bout with severe weather, another round is forecast. There were two Severe Thunderstorm Watches (#60 & 61) in effect for northeastern Arkansas and most of west Tennessee. These watches (just barely) included Shelby County. However, the SPC has cancelled the watches for all of the Memphis CWA.

I should be posting throughout most of the day.

As you probably know, a massive amount of severe weather rolled through the Mid-South this morning and afternoon. There are over 50 storm reports that have been called into the NWS. We are currently under a Tornado Watch that is supposed to last until 7 PM, but will be likely be cancelled in some areas.

Don't celebrate just yet--there is some redevelopment after the main line of showers. In fact, this redevelopment has prompted a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for parts of northern Arkansas.

I will be posting all night, so check back often.

It's going to be a great day for severe weather... - WU

UPDATE: The NWS in Memphis has just issued a Tornado Warning for Cross County until 7:30 AM. Additionally, the SPC has issued a Tornado Watch for most of the Mid-South until 2:00 PM.

ORIGINAL POST (6:03 AM):As I a posting this, WFO MEG has issued their first Severe Thunderstorm Warning for several counties in northeast Arkansas. (Check out the radar scan below) Additionally, WFO LZK (Little Rock) has issued a Tornado Warning for Lonoke County.

The SPC has placed us under a "Moderate Risk" for severe weather today. Also, they call this situation an "extremely dangerous situation".

I will not be able to post throughout the day, but I will be posting up a storm this afternoon.

UPDATE: WFO MEG has cancelled the Wind Advisory. They say that winds have fallen to 10-20 mph, which is below advisory criteria.

ORIGINAL POST (5:35 pm): The SPC has placed the entire Mid-South under a "moderate risk" for severe weather tomorrow. They say that there is a risk for winds over 80 mph, hail bigger than 2" in diameter, and isolated tornadoes.

Also, WFO MEG has issued a Wind Advisory for most of the Mid-South. Winds higher than 39 mph but less than 57 mph are possible.

I will post more on this later.

I am sorry for the data loss that occurred today from noon to 4 PM. My stupid internet stopped working.
