Tornado Threat Today
The hatched area could see strong tornadoes later today. If you live in these areas please pay attention to the weather!
More Flooding Plus a Tornado Risk in California
More heavy rain (snow in the mountains) forecast. Rains have already begun over the southern two-thirds of the state. See 3:15pm radar below. In addition, there is small risk of a tornado, especially tomorrow morning, in coastal areas of Southern California, shown in dark green.
Great. Omaha again in the cross hairs. At least it is a relatively small chance.
ReplyDeleteActually, 15% is a fairly large chance.
ReplyDeleteThe 15% refers to a tornado within 25 miles of any spot in the 15% area. Since tornadoes are infrequent, 15% is a fairly high number.
The black hatching is areas that could experience an F-2 or greater intensity tornado.
Even without tornadoes, doesn't that also mean more rain, and high straight-line winds that could push the Missouri over the top of levees?
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, Joplin was in a 10% hatched area on May 22 so those probabilities are nothing to sneeze at.

Yes, there is already serious flooding in some of these areas.
