October 26, 2010: Severe weather outbreak today

See previous posts - I will be working this event for OEM and others.  No further updates on the blog today.  Listen to your NOAA Weather Radio and local media for watches/warnings.  Stay safe.

Severe thunderstorms are likely today over a large portion of the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.  Storm Prediction Center outlooks - click here.

The severe storm threat will end for southern IL and far western KY around 9-10 am.  I suspect the biggest tornado threat will occur later this morning into the afternoon hours to our east/southeast/northeast.  A large risk area has been outlined.

Storms will be moving east at 40-50 mph and northeast at 50-70+ mph.  

Listen to NOAA Weather Radio and local media for the latest watches and warnings.  You may also visit your local National Weather Service Office - you can find that by clicking here.
