Severe weather outbreak in the south today and tomorrow

Some areas that have been hard hit with severe weather look to have another couple long days ahead of them.  A strong jet stream combined with heat and humidity have put residents in parts Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas under the gun for what could be a possible severe weather outbreak later this afternoon.  The Storm Prediction Center has placed a high risk for severe weather over the southern and central Plains and Ozarks. A stalled boundary just to the south of us connects with an area of low pressure developing in the central Plains and this will be focus for thunderstorms to redevelop later this afternoon.  Possible long tracked tornadoes, significant damaging winds and hail will all be likely.  Elsewhere, severe storms will remain possible all along the front extending out to the Mid-Atlantic and East coast.

As the surface low and jet stream shift further east and northeast Wednesday, the severe weather threat will exist from eastern Texas through the mid and lower Mississippi River Valleys up through the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.  Just like today the possibility will be there for significant tornadoes, damaging winds and hail.

We will remain on the northern side of this system Wednesday afternoon, however we would have to watch for the potential for a few storms south of us that may become 'elevated' if they move over the warm front.
