Wow, I'm not sure about any "Weather forum" frequenters who live in Ky., but we do have a member who lives in northern Ms. I hope everything turns out ok.

Here's an updated risk map

I expected as much, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the 'risk area' broaden a little more in the next few hours.

I'm in SW OK and it is 79F and climbing... A cold front is supposed to move in later bringing storms. Usually winds up being a clash of titans, with all of us caught in the middle.

i seem to just barely be in the MDT risk. tomorrow should be fun then

They've already expanded the Day 2 risk area once today.

AN OUTBREAK OF TORNADIC STORMS A GOOD LIKELIHOOD . . . . .


A major frontal system will pass through the area overnight. Along and ahead of this system we will see an outbreak of severe weather. It is a rare event, however the Storm Prediction Center has put us under a moderate to high risk for severe weather. It is likely that we will see some hail, damaging winds and tornadic storms. Some of the tornadic storms may produce significant tornadoes. What are significant tornadoes?? The type that are on the strong end of the scale. The best likelihood for the severe weather will be from 2 pm to 2 am. Not everybody will get severe weather, however a lot of the area will.
