Tornado outbreak is forecasted by the NWS's Storm Prediction Center from the lower Ohio Valley to east Texas Friday night.
Here is how to interpret the above forecast:
- The brown is the "significant" level of tornado risk.
- Yellow is an elevated risk (statistically double the the risk in the brown area) and the hatching means that strong tornadoes are possible.
Since it has been a while since we have had anything like this, remember:
- Have at least two sources of storm warnings. These can be an app like AccuWeather's, a weather radio, etc. TV and sirens don't count because they won't wake you up.
- Make sure your storm shelter is ready to go. Clear cobwebs. Have flashlight, bottle of water, diaper(s), and radio. Always wear shoes into your shelter.
In addition, we have a major winter storm in the Great Plains and Midwest.
