PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1215 PM CST SAT 10 MAY 03

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING AN OUTBREAK
OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OK/TX EASTWARD ACROSS THE
MIDDLE/LOWER MS AND OH VALLEY REGIONS EWD TO THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

WITHIN THIS AREA...THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE A
SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES INCLUDE:

EASTERN OKLAHOMA
NORTHWESTERN ARKANSAS
EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS
MISSOURI
SOUTHEASTERN IOWA
ILLINOIS
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN INDIANA
SOUTHERN OHIO
KENTUCKY

A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE LOCATED IN EXTREME NORTHEAST KANSAS WILL
MOVE RAPIDLY NEWD INTO SOUTHWESTERN WISCONSIN TONIGHT. THIS LOW
WILL PUSH A DRYLINE EWD RAPIDLY EASTWARD FROM THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
PLAINS INTO THE MIDDLE MS VALLEY REGION LATER TODAY. AT THE SAME
TIME...A POWERFUL JET STREAM WILL ALSO LIFT NEWD INTO THE AREA.
GIVEN THESE FEATURES AND A VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS AHEAD OF THE
DRYLINE...THE ENVIRONMENT IS PRIMED FOR POSSIBLY A SIGNIFICANT
TORNADO OUTBREAK FROM EASTERN OKLAHOMA/EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS
NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND ARE ALSO
EXPECTED WITH THIS STORMS.

TORNADOES ARE ALSO LIKELY ACROSS PORTIONS OF INDIANA...OHIO AND
KENTUCKY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH AN
UNSTABLE AIR MASS WITH FAVORABLE WIND SHEAR.

ALSO...WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE LATER TODAY AS
THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO EVOLVE INTO A LONG SQUALL FROM TEXAS
NORTHEASTWARD INTO MO/IL AND THEN MOVES EASTWARD OVERNIGHT.

THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THOSE IN THE
THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY RULES
AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO AND TELEVISION AND NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR
POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
