*praying for Springfield - this is a frightening night*

I think the title should be changed... this outbreak is affecting Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and other areas. It is NOT restricted to Springfield!!!

There are several TOR warnings in eastern OK and other portions of MO...

Who backs them up, St. Louis?

Honestly, I do not know...but the track of the storm looks like it'll be just a tad to the north of the radar site, meaning any shift to the east by a hair, puts it right over them. Currently have a TOR warning for that cell (rotation only...for the moment). But it looks to be taking on more of a hook shape...Anyone else see it?

I'd evacuate the office and go on backup mode there...

If they are like the NWS office here at Newport, NC...their break room is literally a bunker...so they'll stay up as long as they can, then get into the room.

Obviously, I'm not referring to those who have posted in this thread. Keep up the good work and coverage, everyone!

On the one hand, a tropical cyclone can affect a lot more people, but there is almost always warning time of a day or more in the modern era. Conditions that may be favorable enough to issue a watch usually only has a few hours of lead time, and an actual tornado rarely gives more than 30 minutes notice, frequently much less.

This outbreak should have received the same amount of viewers as a landfalling tropical cyclone. Period.

I added the SGF this morning when it became obvious that was where the severe weather risk was centered. I'll go edit the thread title to Mississippi Valley/Great Lakes.

MiamiensisWx · #176 Postby **MiamiensisWx** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 8:42 pm

There is a line of tornadic supercells moving over Springfield, including two cells SW of the city. Those cells are moving NE toward the area. The third cell is NE of Springfield.

Groundhog Day...

I'm just waiting for more information...I shudder to hear the ultimate results...

#179 Postby **brunota2003** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 8:43 pm

Hope everything turns out fine...but they are smack in the middle of the warning. We need that radar site...More storms are coming from Oklamoha...And almost all of them have either a TOR warning (90%, give or take) or a severe thunderstorm warning (about 99%).

Springfield could be affected by the next two cells... don't forget...
