No discretes yet although there are some embedded supercells it seems. Observed sounding from Changsha paints a very dangerous picture with EF3+ #tornadoes possible if discrete convection can initiate south of this line or if those embedded cells remain surface based and not messy.

( #NWSQuadCities): (3/3) This has part of a longer lived supercell thunderstorm that likely produced multiple short-lived #tornadoes farther to the southwest prior to this one. We at the NWS will continue to investigate this into the weekend. Here is a storm-focused radar animation of the supercell.

Note: 50% probability of #tornadoes within the #Tornado WATCH area including parts of #Kansas ( #KSwx ), #Missouri ( #MOwx), #Illinois ( #ILwx) and #Iowa ( #IAwx) until 10 pm CDT Friday night (April 3)

- 20% probability of STRONG tornadoes (EF-2+)

( #NWSSPC): #Tornado Watch #89 has been issued for parts of IA, MO, IL and southern WI until 8 pm CDT. #Tornadoes (SOME STRONG), hail and damaging winds likely. See www.spc.noaa.gov for more info.

( #NWSQuadCities): A level 3 of 5 (ENHANCED) risk for severe storms for this afternoon/evening. The primary severe risks look to be damaging wind and isolated #tornadoes but large hail cannot be ruled out. Storms moving at highway speeds means there will be less time than normal to seek shelter.

( #NWSChicago): Another round of strong to severe storms is expected today (4/2), particularly during the afternoon and evening.

ALL severe hazards are possible, including the threat for #tornadoes and instances of flash #flooding. Be sure to stay up-to-date on the forecast! #ILwx #INwx #wx #wxsky

More rediscovered historical #tornadoes in newspaper articles are coming in April, some strong ones too!

Also I have begun looking into South American tornadoes that are documented only in old newspapers. Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay all have great free to browse archives online!
