From the NWS Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK:
An active severe-weather day is expected Saturday into Saturday
night, with severe storms likely from east Texas across the Lower
Mississippi Valley into parts of the Tennessee Valley. Large hail,
damaging winds, and tornadoes are likely, potentially including a
few strong (EF2+) tornadoes.
…East Texas/Lower Mississippi Valley to Tennessee Valley…
A southern-stream shortwave trough is likely to overspread the
southern Plains east-northeastward to the Ozarks/Mid-South Saturday
and Saturday night, with a notable and concerning strengthening of
winds aloft into late Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. This is
highlighted by global guidance depictions of increasingly strong
(50+ kt) west-southwesterly winds in the lowest 2-3 km AGL.
Scattered early day convection and residual cloud cover remain
potential complicating factors as far…
