In the radar clutter, a 334 kt TVS over NE Shelby County...

For real, there are two TVS's near Tunica...

I liked how on one of the streams the guy said; "If you are under this tornado warning, turn up your TV as loud as you can and then go to the basement to know when it's safe to come out".

Tunica = SW of Memphis, and yes TVS = tornado vortex signature. The 334 is probably fake as it probably was radar beam clutter.

I'm thinking the WFOs have been too busy to send in tornado reports to the SPC

[snoopj]

Storm in Conway County, Arkansas has some high NROT values associated with it's run. As example, I'm seeing about the same numbers right now as the Enterprise, Alabama storm last year.

My work laptop is crap for a video card or I'd capture a 3D scan of the storm with GR2AE.

I agree, but there are probably no more than 10 so far.

Yep, easily capable of an EF3 or stronger.

Conway County. Hard to believe there is not a tornado with this.

Probably a strong or violent tornado. Life-threatening situation there...

"Potential deadly situation". Well, he got the initials right.

I believe there is. A report just popped up on my screen from 5:16pm local time of a tornado spotted on the ground.
