It has been pretty tranquil for the most part across east Texas, Arkanas, northern Mississippi and west Tennessee, but that shouldn't fool residents of these areas.
This is the area that is of greatest risk for violent storms, including heavy wind, large hail and damaging tornadoes, some that could be long-track. Although the severe weather threat extends from New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan down to Texas, it is that southern and western most part of the severe weather coverage that has meteorologists spooked today.
A PDS (particularly dangerous situation) tornado watch has was issued nearly an hour ago for NE Texas, NW Louisiana, S Arkansas and SE Oklahoma to be in effect throughout the afternoon. A short while afterward, a tornado watch was issued for lower Michigan into northern Indiana and NW Ohio.
News is now out that the Storm Prediction Center is likely to release a tornado watch within the hour for E Arkansas, N Mississippi, W Tennessee, W Kentucky, S Illinois and the Missouri bootheel.
Keep it tuned here for further updates on this developing weather situation.
