Satellites regarding the storm`s evolution as it moved through We are continuing to evaluate data from UAS, aircraft, and PLEASE NOTE.The information regarding tornado #4 below, fromĬraighead County to Obion County, is based on data from ground Supercell storm that moved from western Poinsett County AR, to This statement summarizes the tornadoes produced by the long-track NWS Damage Survey For 12/10/21 Tornado Event. It was responsible for 7 deaths and numerous injuries. This long-track tornado was rated EF-4 with maximum winds of 170 mph. This tornado dissipated a few miles northeast of Samburg, leaving an 80 mile trail of destruction with a path width up to 1 mile wide at times. There were 4 fatalities in this area with an unknown number of injuries. The tornado debarked trees in central Lake County and finally struck the Samburg area on Reelfoot Lake. The tornado maintained intensity as it split Hayti and Caruthersville, making a few passes over the meandering Mississippi River. Several other significant injuries occurred in this area as well. Several houses were completely destroyed (EF-4) in the Braggadocio area where a third fatality was reported. Numerous homes were damaged and utility poles snapped as the storm crossed south of Hornersville and north of Steele.
A second fatality occurred at the Dollar General with other structures sustained heavy damage.ĭamage to the Dollar General Store in Leachville, AR.Īdditional significant damage occurred from this cell as it moved through Dunklin and Pemiscot Counties. This storm remained very intense, as it crossed the county line and affected the northern extent of Leachville. Numerous structures sustained significant (EF-3) damage, including a nursing home where one resident was killed. Storm rotation intensified as the supercell passed to the east of Jonesboro with the tornado increasing in size and strength as it moved across the northern portion of Monette. Around this time, the mesocyclone cycled, and the storm produced a pair of concurrent tornadoes to the west of Bay. As this storm moved northeast, a second tornado occurred south of Jonesboro, damaging a rice factory. The first tornado touched down near Weiner at 6:40 PM, primarily felling trees, though one home sustained damage due to a falling tree. This lone storm had a robust convective environment all to its own. The first supercell developed in central Arkansas around mid-afternoon and moved into Poinsett County around 6 PM.
Truman Tornado in Poinsett County, Arkansas Tornadoes in Madison, Henderson, and Decatur Counties in Tennessee Newbern to Paris Landing, Tennessee tornado KNQA WSR-88D Storm Relative Velocity LoopĬraighead County, Arkansas to Obion County, Tennessee tornado This threat would be particularly enhanced if any supercells developed in the open warm sector ahead of the overnight complex with the cold front. The combination of these key ingredients suggested the likelihood of severe weather during the evening and overnight period. Effective layer bulk shear was around 70 kts across most of the Mid-South while the effective storm-relative helicity was in the range of 300-400 m2s-2. Meanwhile, strong winds at the surface and aloft provided the wind shear necessary for organized severe weather. Mean-layer CAPE (MLCAPE) was maximized at 1500-2000 J/kg (Figure 1) at 6 PM, which was around the time that the initial supercell began to affect the Mid-South.įigure 1. The instability wasn’t extreme, but it was more than adequate to sustain strong updrafts. Temperatures warming to near 80 degrees during the afternoon hours aided instability with a strong wind field providing the vertical wind shear needed for organized thunderstorms. A strong upper-level trough was approaching from the west, providing strong lift within an unseasonably warm and unstable air mass. An ominous signal for severe weather was apparent across the Mid-South leading up to the tornadoes of December 10-11, 2021.
