Severe Weather Potential???
Just to let you all know about this potential severe weather outbreak. Tornadoes are likely today into tonight.
THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW STRONG TORNADOES
OVER PARTS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT.
THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE
SOUTHEASTERN ARKANSAS
LOUISIANA
MISSISSIPPI
THERE IS ALSO A RISK OF OTHER SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS TEXAS
EASTWARD INTO ALABAMA…MIDDLE TENNESSE AND SOUTHERN KENTUCKY.
A POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL LOW…LOCATED IN WESTERN TEXAS THIS MORNING
…IS FORECAST TO LIFT NORTHEASTWARD INTO NORTHERN ARKANSAS TONIGHT.
THIS SYSTEM WILL AID IN PUSHING A COLD FRONT EWD ACROSS THE LOWER MS
VALLEY REGION LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.
This is the time to prepare make sure you have a plan to take shelter for a tornado. Make sure you keep a NOAA alert radio with you.
IF you live in these areas make sure you keep up with the weather.

Thanks WR for posting this bulletin.
*** The greatest probability for tornadoes will exist later this afternoon and through the night across eastern Louisiana, much of Mississippi and western Alabama. ***
At the moment, storms across Louisiana are not severe in nature. However, this will change as the afternoon hours progress. The upper level trough is continuing to move eastward. When the strong upper level winds combine with the strong low level jet currently in place across the deep south, wind shear will be more than enough to support a few strong tornadoes.
