00:00
A tornado warning has been issued to the south of Memphis.
00:03
I'm in Hernando right now in Mississippi and you can see the clear blue skies here.
00:08
Listen to the tornado siren sounding.
00:11
That's the direction that the storm is approaching from.
00:13
You can see that dark sky there.
00:15
The storm is crossing the Mississippi River right now and moving into an environment that
00:19
is supportive of tornadoes.
00:21
There's a pretty strong low-level wind shear in place.
00:24
You can see a mid-level dry slot that has carved out a lot of the cloud cover.
00:27
We have a little bit more instability further south on the tail end of this front.
00:32
This is a very mature supercell.
00:33
You can see the anvil coming in over top.
00:35
That's the top of the storm right there.
00:37
The anvil clouded.
00:38
You can trace it all the way back to the updraft of this storm and that's where the tornado
00:42
would be located.
00:43
It's crossing the Mississippi River right now near Tunica where all those casinos are
00:47
located just to the southwest of Memphis.
00:50
Definitely need to get to a safe place so this storm is heading in the direction of
00:53
Holly Springs eventually toward the Tennessee/Mississippi border.
00:57
But this storm is a hard right mover, moving almost due east, which means that it's carving
01:02
right into that low-level jet at an angle and that means that it has the potential of
01:06
producing at least an isolated tornado, possibly even a long-track tornado or two.
01:11
