PDS Watch Issued...Close call for St. Louis, MO


Well...it's a busy night in America folks...The SPC has recently upgraded the Arkansas Tornado Watch to a PDS Watch. Strong, long tracked tornadoes can be expected well into the overnight hours. There have been reports of damaging tornadoes occurring very close to Little Rock, Arkansas as well as in Missouri and Illinois.

Not to long ago, a tornado touched down just SW of St. Louis, MO. The doppler velocity signature was incredible. Dave has sent me earlier images of today's tornadoes. The reflectivity/velocity imagery was amazing with confirmed tornadoes occurring near or at the time the radar image was captured.

Daylight will show the full extent of the damage tomorrow. Stay tuned...CNN should have a good handle on it...

Oh and one more thing...another big day is expected tomorrow tornado-wise! The craziness continues!
