Saw on the latest discussion they are starting to discuss more and more the discrete and semi-discrete supercells.

Tornader weather!!!!

Reminds me of an old beavis and butthead cartoon. They were under a tornado warning and wanted to go see it. One asked the other where they should go. The answer from the other, "to the trailer park, dumbass."

An inconvenient truth. Hopefully no one will be hurt or killed today with this event. The line seems to be running a line from LR to Shreveport and extended further each way. Y'all be safe out there.

I am traveling on this storm front....have been in the rain since yesterday afternoon since leaving NM. Been in it ever since. Just about to Monroe on I-20 and finally ahead of the rain but the wind is terrible right now. You boys better get ready. Gonna be a strong storm

Indeed. I'm in greenwood now and depending on how things look will probably set up in Greenville tomorrow and then go from there depending on where storms fire. Tor:con for the delta region is now 7/10 so things looking ripe for some explosive storms. My guess is that any storms that develop ahead of the main line will have an excellent chance of going tornadic. Ref had excellent advice with the weather radio. One of the best investments you will ever make. Can get a handheld for $40. My advice. Take every warning seriously. Much better to take cover on a false alarm than to ignore a warning and it be the real deal. Lastly, any tornadoes forming in the main squall line have good chance of being rain wrapped and impossible to see. Will update when I can here but will mainly be updating on twitter. Find me at @mschaser.

I love my weather radio.

Now that's a genius selling phrase. We need to start using that.

Mike Bettes will be broadcasting live from my hometown of Greenville in about an hour on the weather channel. That should be an indication of what they are thinking. It looks like the front moved faster than expected and MS will start being affected around noon. Be safe everyone.

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.

[starkvegasdawg]

Back in the saddle. Truck has been pronounced healthy. The chase is on. I shall not trust express oil in Starkville again but that's a topic for another day.

Tornado watch 532 in effect for the Mississippi Delta. And so it begins. Wording very strong with mentions of intense tornadoes.

Reed Timmer is setting up in Vicksburg. I think Greenwood is a good staging place for now.

Not to hijack the thread, but can you guys tell me what you think. I am headed from Madison to Hattiesburg today for a family Christmas, and will have nieces and nephews in the car with me and my wife. That being said...it is not worth putting these kids in danger just to go to a Christmas party for a few hours and be on the road for almost 4 hours. 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.

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.

Storm south of Greenville trying to show rotation. Will stop in Leland to monitor.
