2011-04-26 Now: TX,OK,AR,LA,MS,TN

[Kevin Walters]

I would think with so many storms so close together it would have to affect the quality of available inflow to some of them. Things just look messy on radar.

 

[Michael Riedl]

Two Classic Supercells heading towards Shreveport. Both cells have their inflow pretty freely.

Edit: as Kevin mentioned free inflow seems to be a problem, these cells seem to have theirs ATM.

 

[Robert Rohloff]

Impressive currently tornado warnings in MI, KY,TN,MS.AR,TX and LA that is a long impact area.

 

[MClarkson]

Look at that hook on the cell east of Waco!

 

[Justin Bailey]

its not just the lack of tornado reports that are surprising me, so too are the lack of hail/wind reports. with this many sups you'd think there would be a lot more large hail.

Wedge being reported just east of waco

Wedge being reported just east of waco

Not surprising the couplet is pretty good on radar. But it is a fair distance form any of the sites so its tough to get ground level scans.
NWS just expanded the MDT to the North and East.

This looks like we could see additional development in central and western Ark and NE Texas for the next several hours. This system is very impressive.

 

[Jordan Hartley]

With the LLJ ramping up here at sunset storms are really getting impressive from Texas to Kentucky. Really getting into the bad stuff across the board from here on out, long night ahead. Almost every isolated or mature embedded cell from S of Dallas into Kentucky has impressive radar sigs.

 

[MClarkson]

There is a large and well established velocity couplet/hook working along, maybe just south of, I20 towards Shreveport.

 

[James Gustina]

That right-mover near Lousville has cycled 3 times by my count so far. Looks like if it outstrips that mess coming out of TN that it'll make it into central KY with generally unrestricted inflow (moving surprisingly slow now that it took a right turn).

 

[Michael Riedl]

Storm due south of Holly Springs has an really strong hook on it, and TVS.

 

[Glenn Dixon]

As some have mentioned, it was truly a mess out there today. Everything that tried to form was quickly rain-wrapped and inflow was seeded almost before it could begin. Big hot mess. And I remember why I once swore off chasing in the trees. Ugh.

 

[Fred Dearborn]

Looking at things today and yesterday,this happened over Ar. last year as well.Mod rsk one day and High the next with the same results with way too many cells firing on the next day.This is good considering the terrain and so many populated areas hidden in the hills,but the flooding will be of more concern all over here.Seeing water in places that it shouldnt be,crazy.Be safe!!

 

[Matthew Crowther]

its not just the lack of tornado reports that are surprising me, so too are the lack of hail/wind reports. with this many sups you'd think there would be a lot more large hail.

Remember that the NWS offices have their hands full with warnings, and probably have not had a chance to issue much in the way of LSRs yet

 

[rdale]

Just in watching the "enhanced" TOR boxes (well, the lack of) on GRE it seems the confirmed number is way down from what it's been the past few. Most offices are pretty good at popping LSRs quickly, knowing that people are much more likely to react when it's confirmed.
