User blog:Hurricane Layten/Long period of severe weather expected

The SPC is now calling for a 5 day period of severe weather across the mainly central states.

Today's Slight Risk across parts of RX, the OK, and KS and NE could well become Enhanced across New by 0000 UTC tonight. The main risk is expected to be significant wind gusts and severe hail, and though tornadoes aren't expected, but a few could still occur within the strongest storms.

Tomorrow holds another Slight Risk, but I this time for most of TX, OK, AR, KS, LA, and MA. Again, the main risk is severe winds and significant hail, and but a few tornadoes can't be ruled out.

The day 3 outlook calls for another Slight Risk, but this time across parts of LA, MS, AL and TN. The main risk expected is damaging winds associated with stronger thunderstorms.

The day 4 outlook calls for a 15% hatched risk for parts of TX and OK. Again, the main risk should be damaging winds and hail, but at a time so far out, and the probability of tornadoes can't be ruled out until the time draws nearer.

I will be posting updates as the event unfolds.
