I expect the Memphis area to go under tornado warning soon although the storm should miss north hopefully

The storm motion on the southern Arkansas cell puts it going directly over Memphis. This needs to be watched. No confirmed tornadoes from this cell yet, but it has all the classic signs...

It's got a while before it gets there... but the other storm north of it has been a long tracker, and this could be the same...

I'm also a little worried about the cell in Kentucky. Its right over the radar so readings are a little hard, but it is Tornado warned and heading straight for Paducah.

That supercell with the hook echo that is headed towards Memphis looks pretty mean. Watch out all you guys in its path.....MGC
