User blog:Hurricane Layten/April 5, 2017 outlook

OK. Today's outlook is of particular concern, so we will jump straight into it. A Moderate Risk is in effect for most of GA, as well as parts of AL, TN, SC and KY. It is also worth mentioning that some areas of GA and AL have the potential to be upgraded to High Risk later in the day if the expected outbreak does indeed materialise.

An Enhanced Risk surrounds the Moderate area, covering parts of IN, OH, NC, and FL. This is surrounded by the usual Slight and Marginal Risk areas.

Today's forecast is calling for a likely hood of an outbreak of severe thunderstorms from the TN and OH Valleys, with the potential for supercell development. Within the expected supercells, tornadoes are expected to be strong and/or long lived, being able to produce large to very large hail, and to be able to bring damaging straight line winds to areas affected.

If you are affected by this system, please stay alert to all watches and/or warnings, and take appropriate action if needed, and I will update this post when needed.
