Last week's severe weather was highlighted by EF2 tornadoes in Arkansas and Missouri, and an EF3 struck Mississippi and west Alabama. This week looks like it could be a much more significant severe weather outbreak than last week.
I'll start by saying that the standard slight risk has been issued over southern Illinois and Missouri, and northern Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. Greatest threat appears to be large hail, but isolated tornadoes are a possibility.
There is also a slight risk of severe weather tomorrow, this one over western Oklahoma and northwest Texas. Greatest threat is hail, and the tornado threat seems relatively low.
Wednesday will be the big day right now, as it stands. The SPC has already issued a moderate risk over central Oklahoma, SE Kansas, and SW Missouri.
Very large hail, destructive straight line winds, and tornadoes have all been highlighted in the SPC's convective synopsis for Wednesday, and everyone clearly needs to have a good source of information if you live in any of the highlighted risk areas. Below is the overall probabilities for the day, as of this morning.
UPDATE @ 9:50AM. I should mention that this is still three days out. There is no guarantee of large tornadoes yet (or any tornadoes, for that matter), and all of this could still change, for better or worse. I would suggest that you keep an eye on the weather in your local area, and should severe weather threaten, I'll try and keep the blog updated as much as I can. I won't always be available to blog, and you know that I don't generally blog warnings (Tornado Emergencies and severe weather watches are generally my only exceptions) For more up to date info for your area, follow local TV and radio stations, and also the NWS website. (weather.gov)
I'll post links to live streams either later today or tomorrow, if that's a more convenient method for you to get local information than TV or radio.
Keep in mind, not all stations have live streaming, so if I can't find one for your area, I apologize.
