PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1143 AM CDT SAT APR 14 2007

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST US
TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT...

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STRONG TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST US
TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT.

THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ALABAMA
WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE
CENTRAL GEORGIA
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA

SURROUNDING THIS AREA...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA INTO SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA.

A POWERFUL UPPER SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY TODAY AND TONIGHT. MEANWHILE...A SURFACE LOW WILL
DEEPEN RAPIDLY AND TRACK NORTHEASTWARD ALONG A WARM FRONT FROM
NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. RAPID RETURN OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS OCCURRING SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT ACROSS MUCH
OF THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES...LEADING TO MODERATE INSTABILITY
AND AN ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER EVENT THROUGH TONIGHT.

SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING OVER PARTS OF SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI AND WESTERN ALABAMA. OTHER INTENSE STORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO FORM EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS SOUTHERN ALABAMA INTO WESTERN
GEORGIA...THEN EXPANDING EASTWARD ACROSS GEORGIA INTO SOUTH CAROLINA
OVERNIGHT. VEERING AND INCREASING WINDS WITH HEIGHT SUGGEST THE
POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF TORNADOES...
DAMAGING WINDS...AND LARGE HAIL. THUNDERSTORMS INTERACTING WITH THE
WARM FRONT WILL POSE A RISK OF STRONG TORNADOES.

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 LATER TODAY.
