4 Day Severe Outbreak: Day 2

For the 4th straight day severe weather will affect almost the same areas of the country. I can’t recall a time when I’ve seen a moderate risk for severe weather so many days in a row. Today a High Risk has been issued for the ARKLATEX and yesterday we may have had an EF-5 tornado touchdown in Vilonia, AR. Just amazing!

Here’s a look at the the outbreak from the SPC(Storm Prediction Center) maps and some of the wording they are using in their outlooks.
