User blog:Hurricane Layten/April 20, 2017 outlook

Today has another Enhanced Risk out, this time for a moderate wind risk (30%), large hail (15), as well as a small risk (5%) of tornadoes. This risk area covers areas of IL, MI and OH. Surrounding this area is the usual Slight Risk, which covers the areas immediately surrounding the Enhanced, as well as parts of extreme east-central US.

Further to the southwest, a Slight Risk has also been issued, with the expectation of a slight (15%) risk of large hail associated with afternoon thunderstorms. Areas in this area include northeastern TX, and from western to central OK.

The Marginal Risk goes between these two areas, as well as around them, like normal.

Onto yesterdays reports, where there were 3 tornado reports, all related. The suspected tornado, later confirmed by trained spotters, has caused shed and machinery damage along its path, which is still being investigated.

If this post needs updating, I shall do so, as usual.
