User blog:Hurricane Layten/April 2, 2017 outlook

I'll jump right in on this post, as its very important to do so. A Moderate Risk of severe thunderstorms, most of which are expected to be dangerous, is forecast for today and tonight across the Gulf Coasts of TX and LA. The I20 corridor in particular is at risk, with a concentrated area of significant damaging winds, and several strong/intense tornadoes expected, as well as the threat for very large hail.

As I write this post, there is already a tornado watch out for parts of TX, with a low potential of EF2+ tornadoes. Just to bring to light how serious this is, its only just after 0400 CDT. A possible tornado was located on radar near Vance, moving NE at 30 mph.

Todays setup is too complex to describe here, but the full synopsis is available on the SPC website if you are interested. To be honest, I've heard rumours that today could be raised to High Risk, and do you know what? It would be a bonus if it was, because this system is very dangerous. Current Day 1 outlooks will, as always, be posted under the severe weather notices on the home page of this site.

As always, I will try to stay upto date on this post, as well as updating our live watch/warning channels on Discord for anyone on there. If not, https://discord.gg/azVQFX7 the link to the left is an invite to our server. If you are in this area.
