Weather bubble protected Fayetteville again. Debris cloud when the storm was to the SW, as soon as it hit the Ozark Plateau, shite broke apart. Always does.

Another reason why Fayetteville kicks arse. You tornado haters living elsewhere are missing out.

I can't count how many times I've seen big ole 'naders rolling in from Oklahoma, only to see them break apart pretty much as soon as they hit the first big ridges southwest of Farmington/Lincoln.
I don't think a big one could ever overcome the uplift of the Ozk Plateau. It's sudden and always breaks them up. we could see smaller spin-ups but nothing major. I'm convinced.

There HAVE been tornadoes in Fayetteville before, have there not? I seem to recall some time in the past decade one reached us. But obviously it wasn't some EF5 monstrosity, I think you're right in that us seeing one of those in Fayetteville is incredibly unlikely (I'm not going to say impossible. Gotta avoid the jinx).
It's one of the many things I don't miss about living in the Alma/Van Buren/Fort Smith area. That and the hotter summers and less snow is a bummer to me.
And the meth heads.

I think the only recorded tornado on the ground in Fayetteville proper was in 19-aught-something, and it was a small spinner that damaged some buildings on the square.
There have been F2s out to the west near the state line, and a few up in BenCo, similar size, but I'm not aware of a tornado in Fayetteville in anybody's lifetime.

OK, now that you mention it, maybe I'm thinking of one that occurred in Bentonville, not Fayetteville. And I could still be wrong about that.

Growing up local to Fayetteville, it was always interesting in college to see folks freak out when tornado warnings popped up.

OK. surely this can't possibly be right. How can such flagrant and massive misinformation be disseminated?
Last night, a "radar" tornado went over parts of Fayetteville. Zero damage in the city that I am aware of.
The uplift affects them, for sure, and keeps them off the ground. Due south and southwest of Fayetteville, there are significant ridges and an overall uplift in topography. It affects our temperature, fog, and snowfall relative to Tulsa, for example. A lot of the time, the coldest air doesn't make it "up the hill" to us when fronts dump big snow in Tulsa.
I've never seen tornado damage in Fayetteville. Benton County being flatter is more vulnerable, but still the uplift protects them from larger storms.

Tulsa and Memphis both sit around 650 ft above sea level. Old Main sits about 1000 ft higher than both. Mt. Sequoyah is right at 1800 ft. Mt. Sequoyah in the middle of Fayetteville is higher than the highest point in all of Missouri, for perspective.
The Ozarks escarpment (aka "Boston Mountains") uplift is real and sudden and definitely impacts weather in Nam-proper, from storms, to how fronts stall out to the west, etc.

Dipshit woman at work who loves to talk for the sake of it (every place has one) said the tornado "came right up Wedington."

I don't believe it was on the ground long if at all.
There's supposedly damage a few miles south of me, my power blipped off for a few seconds when it would have been in my neck of the woods.
