Severe Weather Outbreak Possible in the States Today

After a brief reprieve from severe weather in the states on Thursday, expect another possible round today. The Storm Prediction centre has issued a high risk outlook for Kentucky, Moderate risk for states surrounding Kentucky, and a slight risk for all other areas. All of this is forecast with a warm layer of surface temperatures in the teens to the twenties, increasing moisture values, ML CAPE in excess of 1500 to 2000 J/KG. As well with an increase in deep layer flow shear/effective bulk shear near 70 knots and effective SRH of 300-400 M2/S2. Combine all these values and a cold front that will go through this will produce numerous severe thunderstorms and a risk for dangerous tornadoes.

Already as of 12 noon CDT there have been numerous reports of severe weather in the states including reports of hail the size of quarters in places ranging from Florissant in St. Louis County to Hermann, about 60 miles southwest of St. Louis. And there have already been 2 reports of tornadoes in Huntsville, Alabama leveling houses and damaging a school and a jail. There is still more severe weather on the way, please take caution and listen to your NOAA weather radio's for more updates.
