News in Russellville is saying these cells are going to run all the way to the east coast. If true could be a lot more people lost. Any info on projected time for the strength of the storms to last?

Every map I look at is slightly different... I am having a hard time figuring out which is LIVE vs. which is a forecast over the next couple of days. I appreciate this thread!

We love you too Tech & God Bless you.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Stay safe!!!!

ok so here is your conversions( weatherarc.com...)the 00utc model comes out at 700pm eastern time
here is the model hour (mag.ncep.noaa.gov... Guidance&preselected_formatted_cycle_date=20140428 00 UTC&area=namer&cycle=00&fhr=015¶m=500_vort_ht|1000_500_thick|700_rh_ht|850_temp_ht&ps=area&size=medium) this is at 15utc so 10am eastern Monday, I hope this explains and will continue to watch models so I can further answer your question

sorry correction the 15utc model wasn't ready here is the 12utc model they represent 3hr intervals. so they never represent current observation but instead the last 3 hrs this stipulation becomes important when tracking winter storms because it can mean the difference between snow and rain..

Me too! I truly appreciate that those that are able can keep us updated. As stated previously, I grew up in SW OK so am familiar with the storms and think they are one of the most amazing (even though deadly) manifestations of mother nature. We used to sit outside on the cellar steps and watch as the played across the skies.

a reply to: Havox

I live in Maumelle, this thing came real real close to us, there has been a couple fatalities so far, at least that is what has been reported. I have some friends in Mayflower, but I havent been able to get ahold of them yet, they are calling it as being half to 3/4 of a mile wide, the news just announced as I am typing this that Faulkner county has been declared a disaster zone. There is also a number of highways shutdown and there is a huge gas leak as well.

TXTriker: What an amazing experience to have growing up!

a reply to: badpuppeh

Maumelle looked to be in the path of it, then the storm angled north towards Mayflower. I read that "the town is gone" in reference to Mayflower.. I hope you get some contact from your friends there.

Everything I've read says tornado season will likely be pushed back a bit and milder like last year.
3 and 4 years ago were intense seasons. Last year was mild in comparison.

The reason this year has been slow is because its still cold and the lakes up north are frozen creating a flow of cool air which is the opposite of what thunderstorms need.

Not saying there wont be aome outbreaks or big tornadoes later but right now its kinda mild.

At 9:05pm CDT a tornado was reported near Macks, AR (tornado symbol) - just W of Newport. Moving NE 40 mph.

8:54 p.m. CDT Sunday: The National Weather Service is reporting a tornado emergency for Thida and Oil Trough, Ark.

8:47 p.m. CDT Sunday: Law enforcement reporting a tornado in Denmark, Ark.

8:41 p.m. CDT Sunday: Around 17,000 power outages with 11,000 in Pulaski County, Ark reports Entergy Arkansas

8:33 p.m. CDT Sunday: According to KATV in Little Rock, one person has been confirmed dead along Highway 365 in Mayflower.
