I didn't change the maps for the severe weather outbreak starting Friday and lasting through Saturday night. I do think that Saturday afternoon into the night, the weather might be rather nasty with storms producing extensive wind damage and tornadoes. it really depends on whether we have a single squall line develop or supercell storms. The NAM/WRF simulated radar shows more of a multi-line structure by Saturday afternoon which would lead me to believe there will be supercell storms with the potential for tornadoes.
In any case, it looks nasty for Saturday, especially in the Iowa and Missouri zone.
Lastly, another big storm dives in next week and we could have yet another outbreak of severe storms in the Midwest and Ohio Valley.


We are going into a five- to seven-day period of severe weather which will include tornadoes. We could see over 100 reports of tornadoes.
Latest map on the severe weather areas this weekend into Monday. Monday could be the big day.
Marginal severe weather the rest of the week, but the weekend could turn ugly in the Plains as the tornadoes return.
Tornadoes remain low but that may change this weekend.
More severe weather today into Saturday in the form of hail and damaging winds.
Storms will produce hail and strong winds today and Friday. Maybe a tornado or two in Texas.
