@NoJO, as long as the Nina sticks around then Dixie Alley will be under the gun. Plains are a bit less predictable. It's pretty much impossible to predict but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that this year will probably end up somewhere in the 1,000-1,200 range. As for today, we've already had one EF3, so I'd say a few more and maybe an EF4 are in the question (which would be amazing, obviously violent tornadoes in January are pretty rare - hopefully there won't be any more fatalities today!). Plus right now it looks like it could happen all over again tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a moderate risk tomorrow. Depending on how the supercells do over the next couple of hours we might even see an 0100 high risk.
