\"02.05.08<\/a><\/p>\n

In what has already been a turbulent year with two decent sized tornado events in January, February is starting out with a bang with the year’s first High Risk!<\/p>\n

Already two tornado watches are in effect from NE TX to southern MO and no doubt there will be many more before the day is over! I am a little pressed for time right now, so I will just post up SPCs public discussion for today, as I have had virtually no time to look at the forecast parameters.<\/p>\n

PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK\r\nNWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK\r\n1041 AM CST TUE FEB 05 2008\r\n\r\n...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE PARTS OF THE MID\r\nSOUTH  THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...\r\n\r\nTHE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE\r\nDEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STRONG...LONG-TRACK TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE\r\nPARTS OF THE MID SOUTH  THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.\r\n\r\nTHE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE\r\n\r\nA LARGE PORTION OF ARKANSAS\r\nA SMALL PART OF SOUTHERN ILLINOIS\r\nPARTS OF WESTERN KENTUCKY\r\nSMALL PART OF SOUTHEASTERN MISSOURI\r\nNORTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI\r\nWESTERN TENNESSEE\r\n\r\nSURROUNDING THE HIGH RISK AREA...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE\r\nTHUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF EASTERN OK\/SOUTHERN MO\r\nEAST-NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY AND ACROSS THE LOWER\r\nMISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY\r\n\r\nA STRONG LATE WINTER MID AND UPPER LEVEL WEATHER SYSTEM NOW MOVING\r\nINTO SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL SUPPORT AN OUTBREAK OF TORNADOES AND OTHER\r\nSEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AS IT EJECTS ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL UNITED\r\nSTATES THROUGH TONIGHT.  THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM IS ALREADY\r\nUNSEASONABLY WARM AND MOIST THIS MORNING...AND WILL UNDERGO FURTHER\r\nHEATING AND MOISTENING THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  VIGOROUS THUNDERSTORMS\r\nWILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL\r\nQUICKLY PRODUCE TORNADOES GIVEN COMBINATION OF EXTREME WINDS ALOFT\r\nAND VERY WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS.  STORMS WILL LIKELY FORM INTO LINES\r\nAND CONTINUE THE THREAT OF TORNADOES AND WIND DAMAGE INTO THE LOWER\r\nMS RIVER AND TN RIVER VALLEYS OVERNIGHT...WITH THE NORTHERN END\r\nSPREADING UP THE OH RIVER VALLEY.\r\n\r\nEXTREMELY STRONG WINDS THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE WILL SUPPORT THE\r\nTHREAT OF LONGER-LIVED STORMS...INCLUDING SUPERCELLS AND FAST MOVING\r\nLINES.  THIS WILL ENHANCE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TORNADOES AND\r\nWIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...WITH ADDED\r\nTHREAT OF A FEW SIGNIFICANT EVENTS...BOTH TORNADOES AND WIND DAMAGE.\r\n\r\nTHIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THOSE IN THE\r\nTHREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY RULES AND\r\nTO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR\r\nPOSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.<\/pre>\n
Needless to say, something bad will probably come from this today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
