...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY OVERNIGHT...
THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
OVERNIGHT.
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STRONG
AND POSSIBLY LONG-LIVED TORNADOES.
WHILE OVERALL SEVERE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE
WIDESPREAD...THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT TORNADO AFTER DARK
WARRANTS HEIGHTENED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
TORNADOES DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR CAN BE
PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY ARE USUALLY FAST-MOVING AND
OBSCURED BY RAIN AND DARKNESS.
THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE
EXTREME SOUTHERN ARKANSAS
NORTHERN LOUISIANA
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI
EXTREME NORTHEAST TEXAS
STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGERS ARE MONITORING THIS DEVELOPING
SITUATION. THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE
WEATHER SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA
WEATHER RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS
TONIGHT.
