NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0514 PM CDT Fri Mar 31 2023
Areas affected...Northeast Arkansas into western Tennessee
Concerning...Tornado Watch 94...
Valid 312214Z - 312245Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 94 continues.
SUMMARY...A strong (EF2) tornado likely occurred in northeastern
Arkansas, north-northwest of Memphis. The downstream environment
will continue to support the potential for additional EF2+
tornadoes.
DISCUSSION...Rotational velocity observations of 50-65 kts from KNQA
across Cross County, AR suggest a likely EF2 tornado occurred. While
the velocity signature has shown some disorganization over the last
several minutes, a strong mesocyclone remains and the downstream
environment will continue to support the potential for additional
strong (EF2+) tornadoes as the KNQA VAD shows over 500 m2/s2 SRH.
