Just in time for Hitlery to hop on her broom and make one last whirlwind tour.

Bush's fault! And he's doing it without Rove's Weather Machine!

....the threat for tornadoes will increase dramatically over Northeast TX, East OK, and AR as supercells become surface-based.

Divine Intervention?

Not suprised. It’s 80 degrees right now in Central Texas and couldn’t get any muggier if it tried.

I’ve had the AC on today in Mobile, 80 degrees and high humidity streaming north.

I need then rain on my wheat in Stephens County.

Could be a tragically historic day, particularly after sunset:

PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0651 AM CST TUE FEB 05 2008 ...A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...INCLUDING TORNADOES... EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE MID SOUTH LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT...

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STRONG...LONG-TRACK TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE MID SOUTH LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.

THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

A LARGE PORTION OF ARKANSAS
NORTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI
FAR SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE

SURROUNDING THE HIGH RISK AREA...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF EASTERN OK/SOUTHERN MO EAST-NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY AND ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY.

A STRONG LATE WINTER MID AND UPPER LEVEL WEATHER SYSTEM NOW MOVING RAPIDLY EASTWARD OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES WILL SUPPORT AN OUTBREAK OF TORNADOES AND OTHER SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AS IT EJECTS ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL UNITED STATES THROUGH TONIGHT. THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM IS ALREADY UNSEASONABLY WARM AND MOIST EARLY THIS MORNING...AND WILL UNDERGO FURTHER HEATING AND MOISTENING THROUGH THE DAY. THIS WILL SUPPORT VIGOROUS STORMS BEGINNING EARLY THIS MORNING OVER PORTIONS OF OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN TEXAS...WITH THE THREAT SPREADING STEADILY EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ALONG TRACK OF A SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE MID SOUTH TODAY. VIGOROUS STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL QUICKLY PRODUCE TORNADOES GIVEN COMBINATION OF EXTREME WINDS ALOFT AND VERY WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS. STORMS MAY FORM INTO A LINE AND CONTINUE THE THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTWARD INTO THE LOWER MS RIVER AND TN RIVER VALLEYS OVERNIGHT...WITH NORTHERN END SPREADING UP THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY.

EXTREMELY STRONG WINDS THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE WILL SUPPORT THE THREAT OF LONGER-LIVED STORMS...INCLUDING SUPERCELLS AND FAST MOVING LINES. THIS WILL ENHANCE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TORNADOES AND WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THIS REGION...WITH ADDED THREAT OF A FEW SIGNIFICANT EVENTS.

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.
