I know there are a lot of tornadic supercells raking TN right now, but my attention has been caught by a storm in west Tn. There were two individual cells that have merged to become what is a new isolated cell that has just exploded in intensity about thirty miles west of Jackson, TN in the last ten minutes and is rapidly organizing itself. The flying eagle profile is already manifesting. It's hauling straight for Jackson. We may be looking at a possible tornado in the Jackson area in ten to twenty minutes. The storm is SVR warned for now but I expect that to change shortly. It could be very serious. :blink: It seems like almost all these supercells are going tornadic tonight. I don't think anyone realized how bad this was going to be.
EDIT: Oh crap. Couplet has rapidly developed on the Jackson storm in the last two radar scans. The couplet should pass directly over Jackson in the next ten minutes. It could get ugly very shortly.
EDIT 2: Check out the tight couplet on the Marshall Co. Mississippi storm! That's pretty crazy. Quite a few towns in the path of this storm, unfortunately...
EDIT 3: Phew, the couplet on the Jackson storm has dissappeared again. The city is still going to get pounded by the core, though. Warned for nickel size hail and damaging winds in excess of 60 mph. I would not, however, be suprised to see this cell go tornadic at some point with the environment it's moving into.
Also, the shear couplet on the Rutherford Co., TN cell is now passing about ten miles south of Murfreesboro. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a tornado on the ground with this one.
