Strongly Worded MD from the SPC


I've read several mesoscale discussions before and this one is quite serious...
DANGEROUS TORNADO SITUATION UNFOLDING ACROSS AR/SRN MO THIS
EVENING...AND THE TORNADO THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS.

MULTIPLE DISCRETE SUPERCELLS CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY IN A BROKEN BAND
FROM N OF TXK TO NW OF LIT INTO S CENTRAL MO. THESE STORMS ARE
MOVING INTO AN ENVIRONMENT WITH STRONG LOW-LEVEL AND DEEP-LAYER
SHEAR...AS WELL AS RICH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND MODERATE INSTABILITY
/PER THE 00Z LZK SOUNDING/. GIVEN THE OBSERVED STORM STRUCTURES AND
ENVIRONMENT...A FEW STRONG/LONG-TRACK TORNADOES NOW APPEAR LIKELY.
THE CONVECTIVE MODE AND STORM ENVIRONMENT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE
SUBSTANTIALLY INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS...THUS THE SIGNIFICANT
TORNADO THREAT WILL PERSIST WELL AFTER DARK.


There has already been significant damage reported with these tornadoes...the night is just beginning.
We'll see what happened tomorrow...since the sun is dropping quickly!
