we've had some very intense lightning and moderate to heavy rainfall here in Norman thus far; still waiting for round two coming up within the next 1/2 hour.

2 TVS's right now...both NW of Webbers Falls, OK.

the risk for Houston looks way up! It looks like the storm will reach us after sunrise too which will mean they may explode!

**TORNADO WATCH!!!*

Well I made it through the night...just a bit of rain and a little lightning last night and that was it.

Today looks to be an interesting day in the lower mississippi valley. The setup is looking good for tornadic activity especially as the day wears on.

I agree, earlyin this morning we already have a very scary outbreak, I hate to what it will be around 5pm CST. Anyone in a watch area on here please be on alert becuz its goin to be a busy day.

Here is a beautiful satilite pic of this whole storm system.

Geez, what an embarassment. I mean, i know its still too early to call it, but this has BUST written all over it. Crap convection, marginally severe across arkansas and into lousiana...with widespread clouds ahead of it with the exception of MS. It looks like unless a miracle happens and tornadic supercells explode ahead of this line, this will be nothing but a marginal wind event with brief tornadoes. Man, I feel let down, lol. But, again, it is STILL possible for this thing to go to town this afternoon. If that clearing line can expand north and a supercell can develop across western Kentucky or something, we could still see a long track tornado, but otherwise this isnt looking like a major outbreak any more. Oh well.

That's not crap convection, that convection is the squall line that was forecasted to materialize yesterday night, and that it did. I think someone said at Eastern that if you get storms firing the previous night you can have debris clouds covering the entire warm sector, which is what is happening now.

[WaitingForSiren]

Yeah, and I think someone else brought up a good point at easternuswx, that to get major tornado outbreaks you usually need a low-amplitude trough. I think this one is just way too enlongated. I mean, theres several lows, the Super Outbreak just had one main one. Also, theres such a large area of forcing with a more south-north pattern so the potential for dry intrusion didnt come together. And i guess you are right about the squall line, I just had a feeling it wouldnt develop. Oh well, next saturday looks like it might be active. =)

So far - no confirmed tornadoes, but at least one, possible more, unconfirmed tornadoes. It is hard to report tornadoes overnight that don't do major damage.

[CrazyC83]

POSSIBLE TORNADO AT MORTON. TREES AND POWER LINES DOWN ACROSS HWY 64 AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO BUILDING. (LZK)

I also heard there were injuries reported there. That was at 5:55 am CST in Woodruff County, Arkansas. Sounds like about an F2 if it was a tornado based on the description.

Ummm...a bust isn't a good thing when it concerns tornadoes? I guess I value life more than some.

[CrazyC83]

We still have the afternoon to get through...

This was pretty much a non-event for Southeast, Texas. It's just a matter of time though.

[Weatherfreak14]

Yep, looks now if some clearing is starting to happen in front of the line. If this continues, it only takes a couple of rays of sunshine to do it.

[CrazyC83]

The national radar is getting more and more spectacular approaching the Mississippi Valley...and it's only 11:00 am there so plenty of daytime heating left...

I agree by 2pm this could really get goin. Right now I'm tryin to save as much radar pics and data from this whole outbreak for my database.
