Threats Of Strong, Long-Tracked Tornadoes, 80 To 100 MPH Wind Gusts, Large Hail

weather.com
By Jonathan Belles, and Chris Dolce
3 hours ago



A multi-day outbreak of severe thunderstorms will begin today and last through the weekend in the Midwest, South and East. Strong, long-tracked tornadoes, widespread damaging winds, large hail and flash flooding are all threats this dangerous bout of severe weather could produce.

NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has issued a level 4 out of 5 risk of severe weather for both Friday and Saturday. This threat level is uncommon, usually only on a severe weather forecast 11 to 12 days a year, and is generally used only when supercells are capable of strong tornadoes, or long-lived squall lines are expected to produce widespread damaging winds.

Take this threat seriously and know ahead of time where your safe shelter is and have multiple ways to receive warnings, especially since the severe storms could threaten at night in some locations.

Here's a look at what to expect each day.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I suggest going into your inner most closet.  Laydown...surrounded yourself with pillows over your head or sofa cushions.

During earthquakes, folks take cover under sturdy furniture as protection against falling objects, large and small.  A dining table comes to mind.

Keeping with the earthquake theme, pillows and/or blankets are very helpful shock absorbers when wrapped around vulnerable body parts.  Keep your (small) emergency bag with some water, battery operated lighting, needed meds and phone charger with you so you don't have to look for it if you need to vacate quickly.

PS:  Make sure your phone stays fully charged. 🙏 :crossed:

Wow, have watched. lot of weather in my day, but what I am seeing is pretty unusual.

There is a severe thunderstorm warning (not watch) transversing N/S through the entire state of Missouri (west side).  The line is generally moving East at about 60 mph.

Hope this isn't a preclude to a substantial Derecho situation

Well down here people get out the warning pretty good, lol, even the mailman mentioned it to us today to be on the lookout tomorrow. You make your plans on what to do, wife is going to a friend to look around a basement with her. The neighbor offered it for use in the storms. Brother has a good storm shelter.

80-100 mile and hour winds are equivalent to hurricane strength winds. 

Again -- inner closet or inner most room w/o windows -- plenty of cushions -- flashlights, cellphones and chargers or battery back-up  banks.  Some water and a bit of non perishable food.  Jackets and blankets to keep you warm.

Continued prayers.

That unbroken line of severe storms now stretches unbroken from West Central Iowa to NW Arkansas. That is close to 500 miles!!!!!

Scary radar as the cloud tops are being blown off W to E 30-40 miles ahead of line in some places.  With that, any level of spin or cross current is likely going to spin off some tornadoes.  Actually surprised no tornado warnings have been issued yet.

@mystery-ak

Not out of the woods yet, but the SPC  seems to have shifted their concern more toward Iowa.  Still a line of severe storms are transversing mid Missouri.   But unless I am reading the radar wrong, I am seeing less red on the map than I did 30 minutes ago.  Still stay vigilant.

Gowin up in N.Il in the 60's as a kid was a trip.  When the tornado sirens would go off my brother and I would go out on the roof to look for them.  Fun times.

Does your city or town have a warning system for tornadoes on the ground, or close to it?  Emergency weather texts by zip codes or even an old world siren?

Based on risk, today they think it will be even more active, but the bullseye focused on MS/AL

We had several tornadoes in my area..one went right over our house, thankfully it did not touch down..nothing more bone chilling than tornado warning sirens going off outdoors, on your phone and tv all at once...Last year we had 3 large trees cut down and boy I am glad we did...neighbor across the street lost theirs...they were lucky it just landed in their yard and not on their house.

All I can say is *what a night*

Thank you for all your prayers and join me in prayer for all those still in harms way...

Been thundering for hours now (our tornado ally on Sand Mountain has had heavy rain already)... some small hail here now... and the 13 hour danger zone ain't even started yet... Due to start around 4 - 5 hours from now... I am gonna be worn out by the time it arrives. Probable a flood threat, and already this year my neighbor has been flooded bad.

Ahh the adventures of Spring in the South (and it ain't even Spring). We have a local beloved meteorologist here in Alabama named James Span ... James ain't one of those weather babes, he is a old beloved bald guy that knows his stuff. Span has been on live streams most the night and he is no Spring Chicken... James is our tornado guy... I imagine he will get some sleep for a few hours in the lull and be live again later today.

You can usually watch live at the link below... Perhaps you will catch our beloved J.S. I would put him above par with any Youtuber weather man that streams today. Cause he knows this area like the back of his hand and has visited just about every city in state (he teaches elementary kids and visits all state schools).

https://abc3340.com/watch


The ABC 33/40 weatherman is above having to push some Climate hoax, James is so beloved he doesn't worry about being cancelled. He is an icon, and they know it, he is the reason folks tune in... His social media is jam packed with all the state weather photos cause people love to have their pictures shared by him. He prays for you, and he tells it like he sees it. Being on air while his own home was hit, with his wife inside. His heart breaks with us (wife was fine, just a few trees down in his yard).
