Major tornado outbreak expected today
Another major severe weather outbreak is predicted for today across the central U.S. The Storm Prediction Center has just increased the risk of severe weather to the highest category across eastern Kansas and neighboring regions of Missouri and Nebraska. An extrememly potent mix of warm, moist Gulf of Mexico air, a very strong jet stream, and an intrusion of dry air at mid levels of the atmosphere is expected to trigger another major tornado outbreak over the next two days that may rival the two previous outbreaks this year for number of tornadoes. More strong F3 tornadoes are expected today, along with baseball-sized hail and damaging thunderstorm winds. Tomorrow, the action moves into Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, as the storm system responsible tracks slowly eastward.

1. One just hit the White House.

It's a three or or a four, at least. Heavy damage. Libby testified that Bush told him to release classified materials as part of a coordinated effort to discredit Wilson.:7

7. Eastern Kansas
I do! So far it's just overcast and a little breezy.

Thanks for the heads up.

8. If there is an F3 or higher twister in Kansas today, I hope no loss of
life occurs and I hope nobody is hurt, but at the same time I hope it blasts the State School Board building off the face of the earth.

Thanks, I had not seen this. I've only seen the forecast for here and am waiting the big buildup.
