In de updates is de situatie voor vanavond vrijwel onveranderd gebleven. Door de lagere luchtvochtigheid zullen de stormen wat minder heftig uitpakken dan in eerste instantie verwacht. Toch worden er aan het einde van de middag en het begin van de avond nog enkele snel ontwikkelende supercells verwacht. In de loop van de avond zullen de verschillende stormen samensmelten in een lineair gevormde onweerscell, waardoor de severe kansen significant af zullen nemen. Over 3 kwartier volgt een update, maar ik wil jullie de onderstaande kaart niet onthouden.

A powerful storm system is forecast to eject over the Southern Plains into the Ozark Mountain Region through overnight, firing up a 40+ knot southerly LLJ underneath strong upper-level flow across the entire warm sector including eastern Oklahoma, southeast Kansas, Arkansas, and southern Missouri. This will set the stage for a potentially record-breaking tornado outbreak late this afternoon, and especially overnight across much of Arkansas and southern Missouri. This looks like a classic early spring outbreak pattern, with prime conditions for tornadoes over a large geographical area.

De laatste SPC update is toch ook weer een stukje positiever uitgevallen. Het Slight Risk gebied is flink uitgebreid, evenals het gebied waar de tornado's worden verwacht. Te zien is dat nu ook in oa Louisiana een degelijke kans is op Tornado's. Tevens verwacht SPC, in tegenstelling tot eerdere berichten, toch ook nog georganiseerd onweer tot diep in de nacht waardoor, tornado's, windstoten en hagel, de amerikanen tot ver in de nachtelijke uren nog kan treffen.
Stay Tuned voor verdere updates!

Ja natuurlijk, ik wou het ook doen maar wist niet percies hoe.
The severe weather threat for severe thunderstorm watch 19
continues.
The severe threat across ww 19 will continue ewd across ne tx early
this afternoon. Large hail is expected to be the main threat but
isolated damaging wind gusts are also possible. A new ww will likely
be needed east of ww 19 by 18z.
The line of thunderstorms currently extends from a 995 mb sfc low in
scntrl ok swd to around dallas. This convection is located along the
ern edge of a low-level jet and is being supported by a band of
large-scale ascent ahead of the upper-level low in the tx panhandle.
Objective analysis shows increasing instability ahead of the line of
storms with sbcape values above 1000 j/kg from se ok extending swd
across most of east tx. short-term model forecasts expand the storms
across sern ok swd across most of east tx early this afternoon.
Steep mid-level lapse rates and strong deep layer shear evident on
forecast soundings will continue to support a threat for large hail.
The wind damage threat will likely increase as the storms become
sfc-based.

concerning...severe potential...tornado watch likely

threat for large hail and isolated tornadoes will increase this
afternoon with a tornado watch likely becoming needed.
low-topped convection has shown a gradual increase in
coverage/intensity across sern ms/swrn al nwwd into cntrl ms.
continued diurnal heating with surface temperatures warming into the
middle 70s and further destabilization should support isolated to
scattered tstm development during the afternoon. with region lying
on the ern fringe of steep mid-level lapse rates /per upstream
morning raobs and latest objective analysis/...severe hail would
likely be the primary threat. however...30-35 kt swly flow at 1 km
agl /per regional vwp data/ will be sufficient for low-level storm
rotation...and should be augmented be ambient shear along baroclinic
boundary lying roughly from around 40 sw cbm to near mgm as of 18z.

the nws storm prediction center has issued a
tornado watch for portions of
parts of central and southern alabama
parts of southern and eastern mississippi
effective this wednesday afternoon and evening from 105 pm until
800 pm cst.
tornadoes...hail to 2.5 inches in diameter...thunderstorm wind

discussion...thunderstorms are developing across the watch area in
response to surface heating and increasing instability. veering
shear profiles...particularly vicinity wnw/ese thermal boundary
from central ms to central al are favorable for supercell
development. steep mid level lapse rates and dry air as noted on
18z jan sounding are very favorable for large hail. also tornados
will be possible associated with any supercell that forms.

Update TVN; "Supercells explosing over southwest AR!"
Severe thunderstorms capable of tornadoes have initiated over the Arklatex region this afternoon, with a tornado warning currently in effect for Little River County including the town of Ashdown. Meanwhile, a tornado watch has been issued farther east, over areas of Mississippi and Alabama. It is expected that thunderstorms will continue to develop this afternoon and into the evening. An area stretching from Springfield, MO through western Arkansas into northern Louisiana is currently being monitored for development, with a tornado watch having just been issued for most of western AR. Multiple streamers are currently in the field, so be sure to follow along on the Live page!

Er is momenteel een mooie "Hookecho" te zien op de radar! Hookecho's zijn kenmerkend voor de plaats van een tornado en bevinden zich vrijwel altijd aan de zuidkant van de bui. De storm lijkt niet erg intens, maar dat komt enkel omdat de bui zich momenteel op een dood punt bevind tussen verschillende doppler radars en dus bij alle radars op het randje van hun bereik ligt.
Aan de zuidkant van de bui is duidelijk een hook-echo te zien.

Afgelopen nacht heeft het severe weather zoals verwacht flink huisgehouden. Ik heb de topictitel even aangepast, want voor komende dagen heeft het SPC alsnog geupgrade naar een Slight Risk. Vandaag krijgt Florida het stormsysteem voor zijn kiezen en vrijdag zullen Georgia, Alabama en zuid Florida het een en ander te verwerken krijgen. Tornado's zijn mogelijk, maar het grootste gevaar voor voor deze gebieden zijn de eventuele overstromingen die de felle regenbuien kunnen veroorzaken.
Momenteel geldt er nog een tornado watch in Mississippi, maar het SPC zal deze naar verwachting rond een uur of 2 intrekken. Stay tuned voor de gebruikelijke updates!

Kans op tornado's:
Kans op zware windstoten:
Kans op grote hagel:
...synopsis...
broad upr cyclone centered over the lwr mo vly will persist over the
cntrl u.s this period as shortwave impulse now over az/nm continues
e/se to s tx and the lwr ms vly. farther s...subtropical jet also
will persist from s tx across the nrn gulf of mexico into nrn fl.
at the sfc...ia low will occlude over the upr ms vly as trailing
cold front decelerates over lwr portions of the oh...tn...and ms
vlys. a secondary low should form over the lwr ms vly later in the
period with the approach of az/nm upr impulse. in the mean
time...weak wave on w/e stnry front just s of the fl panhandle
should track e along the front across nrn fl to the ga cstl waters
by eve.
...fl and srn parts of the gulf coastal states today/tonight...
40+ kt swly llj associated with aforementioned sfc wave and beneath
exit region of strong subtropical jet will shift e across the nern
gulf and the fl peninsula today. this will allow fairly rich
moisture /sfc dewpoints in the mid 60s f and pw aoa 1.50 in/ to
overspread nrn and cntrl fl s of stalled w/e front/rain-reinforced
boundary. weak mid lvl lapse rates and clouds
will...however...limit sbcape to aob 1000 j/kg.
loosely-organized convective system now over the cntrl fl panhandle
swd into the nern gulf expected to move/develop slowly ewd with
associated sfc wave through the day. additional showers/storms
likely will form s and e of the mcs in response to sfc heating of
moist/confluent flow over the fl peninsula.
despite modest cape...given increasingly moist low-lvl environment
and degree of both low-lvl and deep shear...setup will support short
lines/clusters of storms with embedded lewps/supercells. these may
produce both tornadoes and dmgg wind given strength of lwr
tropospheric flow and large low-lvl hodographs...especially during
the aftn. while the svr threat may diminish this eve...the threat
may increase again later tonight/early fri as the llj redevelops
ahead of approaching upr impulse.
..mid ms/lwr oh vlys this aftn...
lobe of ascent rotating around mo vly closed low will move across
the il area later this morning/early this aftn...atop narrow
corridor of low lvl moisture /dewpoints in the lwr 50s f and pw
around 1 in/. sfc heating in associated dry slot may boost sbcape
to around 750 j/kg given cool mid lvl temperatures. setup may
support early aftn development of storms along secondary cold front
now over e cntrl mo as the boundary moves e of the ms rvr.
however...12z sgf raob and some model thermal forecasts suggest that
a warm layer might move into the region around the 700 mb lvl that
could limit development. at any rate...although wind profiles will
not be very conducive to supercells...given the thermodynamic
environment...one or two bands of strong storms may form if warm
layer is breached. these could yield hail and perhaps a spinup-type
tornado or two. any such threat should end later in the day.
...lwr ms and tn vlys late...
trailing portion of stalling cold front may serve as a focus for
storm development late tonight/early fri as ascent with az/nm upr
impulse overtakes moist axis likely to remain present e of the ms
rvr. coupled with steep mid lvl lapse rates and moderate to strong
deep shear...storms may yield large hail and possibly dmgg wind as
they consolidate into one or two clusters.
