Another Severe Weather Outbreak Shaping up for End of the Week

The severe weather season continues to heat up, as numerous tornado outbreaks are likely later this week! Tornado chances begin to ramp up Thursday with a possible outbreak of severe weather in the Southern Plains states, with the best tornado chances likely to occur in Oklahoma around sunset. Then, on Friday a high risk for tornadoes appears likely to unfold, centered on Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Tornado chances will continue in this region for several days, possibly extending as far west as Oklahoma and as far east as Alabama, as a powerful storm system over the Northern Plains combines extremely rich Caribbean moisture and instability with unusually strong wind shear. Ominously, the latest weather model output from the GFS centers the tornado risk over western Mississippi Friday through Sunday, so workers assisting in the cleanup efforts from Saturday's Yazoo City storm will need to keep a sharp eye on the weather. - TornadoVideos.net
