Noooooo!!!!!! Storm is getting close and my truck decided it needs to be worked on. Hope I found some fast mechanics.
Supercell thunderstorms exploding in Louisiana. Expecting them to go tornadic.
Well that's marvelous. And so the longest day begins.Quote:

Tornado watch 532 in effect for the Mississippi Delta. And so it begins. Wording very strong with mentions of intense tornadoes.
still in greenwood waiting to see what develops where. Don't have the time to go all over creation.Quote:

Do you think this is severe enough for me to say no to the Burg today and tonight? I know you can't be sure, but any advice from you guys would be appreciated.
Biggest threat area is going to be just north of you. That being said you are definitely at risk. I think timing for hburg is later tonight. Should be ok for when you will be on road. Headed to Greenville now to get in heart of danger area. Mom and wife are less than thrilled.Quote:

Agreed. While the threat is still strong, it's not nearly as strong as anything north of I-20. Also, the timing is much later for the burg.Quote:

Now starting to fall apart.Quote:

Good luck, buddy.Quote:

Just back to greenwood. Storms are looking less than impressive.Quote:

I knew it. Where I set out to go over in ark but changed my mind is now in tornado warnings.
What part of Arkansas? I'm from about an hour across the river from Greenville heading up 65. I don't live there anymore but still have friends and family so I'm curious?
Currently we're (Lowndes, like nearly everyone in NE MS) under a Tornado watch. The radar is looking rather sporty out to the West. I can't run any WRF models from home, but I'll rely on you Wxperts to call the real shots.
If, by any chance, y'all are interested to what happens in West Lowndes my weather station is online. It updates hourly; The web address is in my profile.

EDIT: Apparently there may be something wrong with my collector. It has rained a bit here, but I've shown zero measurement. Probably a hefty spider-web has wrapped up the collector cups. Sounds stupid, but it happened earlier. Don't count on the precip measurement to be accurate. My apologies. Every other data point will be unaffected and accurate.

Sorry. Was driving back home to Starkville and was unable to monitor. As you probably guessed by now you drove through the heart of where it was warned. You may have been behind it by a bit.Quote:

One such event reportedly had a fatality associated with it, according to a message from MEMA. The Starkville area will be affected by the main squall line soon. With this, expect heavy winds and a brief period of heavy rain. Cloud-to-ground lightning may not be associated with this front as the stable layer is quite strong and will prevent most of the lightning. I'm sorry I wasn't able to provide as much coverage of this event as many of you, myself included, would have liked. I would like to thank Starkvegasdawg for keeping this thread going and others who have contributed in part to this thread. I will try to keep this thread maintained and give updates until this system is out of the state of MS unless otherwise needed.
Two deaths are now being reported by MEMA in association with these storms. One in Coahoma County, the other in Jasper County. Others injured and there is damage to property reported.

Ref, good job by you and the gang
Take the rest of the night off.
