Debris Ball On Radar Near Little Rock
While this necessarily doesn't have to do with the weather here in Indiana, it is extremely interesting. Last night, as many of you already know, a tornado touched down in parts of the Little Rock area. We were tracking the storms over at LetsTalkWeather.net and I noticed an interesting feature on doppler radar, called a debris ball.
The debris ball is a relatively new concept, and was discovered only less than 2 months ago when tornadoes ravished parts of Tennessee.
Last night's radar images showed a well defined debris ball in the Little Rock Metro area and I have hi-lited the region where it was indicated in the image below. A debris ball is a feature picked up on doppler radar when there is debris spinning in the air associated with a tornado on the ground.
