We got some good stuff going on over on the border but no sirens.

I think it is over for a bit. We kept signal for Direct during the three hail storms but lost it during the wind the last time.

stay safe hogs. Fayetteville is too pretty of a town to be hit by a tornado so I hope it misses.

Fayetteville is in a valley so the tornadoes won't really hit the town.

West of town and north of town is where they generally hit.

What valley is Fayetteville in? City of Seven Hills and all. Also, a valley is a local topographical feature which has no significant impact on tornado formation. Fort Smith and Russellville actually are in valleys and have both had multiple tornado touchdowns in recent memory.

The Boston Mountains is the one side valley and the climb up the plateau is the other.

I have never heard it called the city of 7 hills and I have lived there for a long time.

The theory is when they form they bounce over the city.

Actually Russellville and the Fort are not in valleys they are in flats.

The River Valley that you're trying to imply is a general area.

You have never heard it called that? There are multiple old references to it like seven hills homeless shelter etc.

The river valley damned sure is a valley, Quachitas to the south and Ozarks to the north.

Fayetteville elevation, 1400 ft
Springdale elevation, 1322 ft
Bella Vista elevation 1150 ft
Mountainburg elevation, 751 ft

Take a look at a topographical map and tell me the name of the valley that Fayetteville is in and ignore the large depression running right through Fort Smith and Russellville since that isn't a valley.

LINK is a good starting point. Regardless, local topographical features have very little influence over mesocyclone development as you implyLINK . Its wikipedia, but I'm on a phone and don't feel like looking up further info.

"Seven Hills" is a reference all over Fayetteville. Its actually a reference to Rome, which claims the same thing.

Mt Sequoyah
Mt. Nord
Rose Hill
Markham Hill
Watermelon Hill (VA Hospital)
College Hill (Old Main)
McElroy Hill (Yocum)

That might be right, but who knows...the people who started making that reference sometime in the early 1900s were just trying to sound cool.

Fayetteville is a high spot, with peaks and gulleys. Mt Sequoyah is about 1800 ft, Baum stadium is about 1100 ft. The town square is about 1400 ft.

Missouri has always been north of Fayetteville, though.
