PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0556 AM CDT FRI APR 07 2006

...OUTBREAK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES EXPECTED OVER
PARTS OF THE TENNESSEE AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT...

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS INCLUDING A FEW
STRONG...LONG-TRACK TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF ALABAMA...MISSISSIPPI
AND TENNESSEE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

       NORTHERN ALABAMA
       NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI
       WESTERN AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE

SURROUNDING THE HIGH RISK AREA...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY NORTHEASTWARD INTO
OHIO VALLEY AND THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS

AN UPPER STORM SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL MOVE SEWD TOWARDS
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGH TODAY. IN ADVANCE OF THIS
SYSTEM...BROAD LOW LEVEL LIFT COMBINED WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY NORTHEASTWARD INTO
THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEYS FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE EVENING.
STRONG LOW-MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS COMBINED WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY
WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF
LARGE HAIL/STRONG WINDS AND TORNADOES. EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR OVER PORTIONS OF THE TENNESSEE AND LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS WILL AID IN THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW LONG-TRACK
STRONG TORNADOES WITH THE SUPERCELLS THUNDERSTORMS. THE HIGHEST RISK
OF STRONG LONG-TRACK TORNADOES WILL BE FROM NORTHERN
MISSISSIPPI/SOUTHWESTERN TENNESSEE EASTWARD THROUGH NORTHERN ALABAMA
AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE FROM THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING.

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...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR
POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
