More Severe Weather Likely

...for the plains and midwest tomorrow. The Storm Prediction Center's outlook places parts of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas in a moderate risk for severe weather and specifically mentions a possibility of strong, damaging tornadoes. Some observers, who are far better at reading computer models than I am, suggest this could be upgraded to high risk later this evening or tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow's event will likely be as big or bigger than Sunday's, and may rival March 12. Tomorrow's storms likely won't maintain their strength as far east as Sunday's did, when the tornado-producing storms made it as far as Van Wert, OH...so as of now, the Fort Wayne and Toledo areas both look pretty safe.

There is video of Sunday's monster wedge tornado that tore through Southeast Missouri available at http://www.kfvs12.com/. The third video down the page features a potential Darwin award candidate, a woman who ignores pleas from her children to come inside. She says intelligent things like, "that ain't a tornado, it's too big to be a tornado!" and "it's breaking up!", when it's obviously an enormous rotating wedge heading right for them...as it's off to their west (it's backlit by the sun) and isn't showing any relative side-to-side motion. Good footage nonetheless, despite the stupid person holding the camera.
