11/29/10 NOW: TX, LA, AR, MS

[Mike Smith]

Tornado watch out for the region.

At 1:45pm POE 88-D indicates hooks moving toward Winnfield, LA (with tornado warning) and a second crossing the Sabine River NW of Leesville, LA

 

[jshields]

very strong couplet passing just north of montgomery, la. has to be a tornado with that!! showing over 130 kts gtg shear!

 

[Bob Hartig]

Nasty-looking thing! Now passing through Winnfield, and while it appears to have weakened as precip closes in around it, I surely wouldn't write it off yet.

Next big storm to the southwest is showing rotation over Bellwood.

UPDATE: That storm is now tornado-warned.

 

[Zack Cooper]

Tornado warnings going up over W MS right now... looks to be mainly linear with embedded supercells... but there is a decent couplet near Valley Park, MS... worried because these are near Yazoo City, MS.

 

[Brian Hurst]

In the last hour looks like there has been a ramp up of tornado warnings in MS,LA.Look like Yazoo City may be under the gun soon!

 

[John Sacrey]

I am seeing over 100knts gate 2 gate shear via GR2AE SW of Yazoo City.

 

[Matt Haworth]

Emergency managers report tree and structural damage in Yazoo City. The magnitude of the damage is unknown at this time.

 

[Bob Hartig]

Geeze! Yazoo City just got hit again.

From the tornado warning issued a few minutes ago at 8:18 CST:

AT 816 PM CST...LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTED DAMAGE FROM A TORNADO
JUST PASSING THROUGH THE CITY. THIS TORNADO WAS LOCATED 6 MILES
SOUTH OF EDEN MOVING NORTHEAST AT 50 MPH.

 

[Jesse Risley]

I took a radar grab from the cell as it approached Yazoo City about 20 minutes ago (see attached), as it contained a rather stalwart couplet. The cells are moving off to the ENE, with strong indication in that cell in far Southwest Yazoo County heading towards Bentonia.

 

[Jesse Risley]

The cell moving into Hinds County appears pretty stout (see image), with its own unimpeded environment to work with as it aims to trek just NW of Jackson. It has a nice couplet and surface inflow winds remain favorable to help sustain low-level rotation. Regarding the upstream environment, recent 00z soundings from BMX and JAN show a very favorable environment for the maintenance of supercells, with ambient ML CAPE and 0-6 km shear (check out the AGL wind barbs and hodos too).
