Hi

We have dark bases to our North and West at present and these should start to precipitate soon, not long before we are in the action in Arkansas.

Notice small cell has rapidly formed over Dallas, urban heat island factor may be the straw that breaks the camel's cap and activate the Texas portion of the front. The storms over OK will now have to move over the Ouachita Mtns in s.e. OK and the southern Ozarks in w Arkansas, net effect of this may be to translate the better tornadic risk zone in Arkansas south into the Texarkana to Hope area. Given the time of day and chase terrain, I might be thinking of heading towards the south rather than west at this point to intercept whatever comes out of northeast Texas.

Cheers I saw that but can't find Sheridan!

Found it ... South of Little Rock

Note there is a large tornado reported on the ground on the KS-OK border in extreme n.e. OK ... all of the tornadic warned storms are on the main cold front now but this does not rule out any cell in the area of the storm chasers at present time from going tornadic. However, would suggest that for Arkadelphia where Gorky was last reporting, the line of storms should come through around 0130z, for Sheridan more like 0230z. That's getting pretty close to sunset and so I would advise a move southwest at this point if nothing imminent shows on local radar, just to get the chance in daylight.

Ian

[Roger J Smith]

Looks like this tornado will cross the highway near Humphrey about 10 miles SW of Stuttgart at about 0055z (13 min).

I have to say NL....That is a seriously impressive Image.

[ian cameron]

we are on the extreme south west of the storm we are currently tens miles away from Humphrey so we should get there in time

[ian cameron]

we are just about 4 miles from humphreys just had massive spark from the direction of the town we think there is a tornado on the ground but it is getting rather dark here goes by now just uover 1 mile away

Ian

[Roger J Smith]

Radar suggests multiple vortices Humphrey to Stuttgart, be very careful about road debris guys, I realize it must be almost pitch black ahead of you.
