Very sorry if this has been answered.. but the station is out. On my TV WREG has a notice up they can't broadcast for a bit.

The stream is working for me - it may be your cable company.

Ah okay.

My neighbor's grandmother lives in the Hickory Ridge neighborhood area of Memphis and her roof is gone.

[HarlequinBoy]

Very strong rotation in Benton/Tippah County Mississippi..

[Bunkertor]

They must be so busy. They should have set central TN under watch already.

They must be so busy. They should have set central TN under watch already.

I agree, a watch (PDS?) should be up for Middle Tennessee and central Kentucky.

[CrazyC83]

I'm going to the chat room...I'll post watches if not yet mentioned.

Storm approaching Jackson, TN appears to be restrengthening with storm relative velocities now maxed out. Perhaps another tornado emergency here shortly.

I have a question, if you guys want to post loops of radars, can you please post a link only? I dont want to take away from anything, but it really kills my computer.

VALID 060100Z - 061200Z

...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SVR TSTMS TONIGHT OVER ERN AR...NRN
MS...WRN TN...SERN MO...FAR SRN IL...

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS SURROUNDING THE HIGH RISK FROM
NRN LA AND CNTRL MS NEWD THROUGH CNTRL AR...NWRN AL...MIDDLE
TN...CNTRL KY...SRN IND AND SWRN OH...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS TONIGHT FROM THE MIDDLE/UPPER
TX COAST AND CNTRL GULF COAST NEWD INTO THE OH VALLEY...

...LOWER MS VALLEY AND CNTRL GULF COAST STATES NWD INTO THE OH
VALLEY...

--TORNADO OUTBREAK IN PROGRESS OVER PARTS OF THE MID SOUTH AND LOWER
MS VALLEY--

DYNAMIC UPPER TROUGH OVER THE SRN PLAINS THIS EVENING WILL CONTINUE
NEWD INTO THE MID MS VALLEY WITH STRONG HEIGHT FALLS SPREADING EWD
ACROSS THE OZARK PLATEAU AND MID SOUTH. ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW OVER
N-CNTRL AR WILL DEEPEN WHILE DEVELOPING NEWD ALONG LOW-LEVEL
BAROCLINIC ZONE TO SERN IND BY 06/12Z. TRAILING COLD FRONT NOW FROM
SURFACE LOW SWWD THROUGH THE ARKLATEX TO DEEP SOUTH TX WILL SWEEP
EWD...STRETCHING SWD THROUGH MIDDLE TN TO ERN MS/WRN AL BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

CLUSTERS OF TORNADIC SUPERCELLS ARE IN PROGRESS AS OF 00Z OVER OPEN
WARM SECTOR FROM WRN TN SWD INTO NRN MS AND NEARER TO SURFACE LOW
AND COLD FRONT OVER CNTRL/ERN AR. 00Z REGIONAL SOUNDINGS INDICATE
CONSIDERABLE DEEPENING TO LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE PROFILES AND THE
EFFECTIVE REMOVAL OF THE CAP FROM BELOW. THIS MOISTURE COUPLED WITH
MODESTLY STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES IS RESULTING IN A MODERATELY
UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR WITH MLCAPES OF 1000-1500 J/KG FROM THE TX
COASTAL PLAIN NEWD ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY. THIS INSTABILITY
DECREASES WITH NEWD EXTENT INTO THE OH VALLEY WHERE MLCAPES ARE AOB
500-800 J/KG.

00Z REGIONAL SOUNDINGS AND VWP/PROFILER DATA ALL CONFIRM THAT
VERTICAL SHEAR IS QUITE STRONG WITH EFFECTIVE SRH VALUES OF 300-500
M2/S2 AND EFFECTIVE BULK SHEARS OF 50-70 KT. THIS STRONG SHEAR WILL
BE MAINTAINED OVERNIGHT EWD ACROSS THE SRN OH VALLEY...TN VALLEY AND
MS/AL IN ADVANCE OF SURFACE LOW AND COLD FRONT.

THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR STRONG/VIOLENT TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS ERN AR...SERN MO...NRN MS...WRN TN INTO WRN KY WHERE STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN MORE DISCRETE IN AN ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED
BY MODEST INSTABILITY...EXTREME VERTICAL SHEAR AND STRONG
LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT. A QUASI-LINEAR MCS...PERHAPS
COMPOSED OF BROKEN LINES OF SUPERCELLS AND/OR BOWING STRUCTURES
SHOULD CONTINUE TO EVOLVE OVERNIGHT ALONG COLD FRONT WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.
