A very large and powerful storm system will move into the Great Plains, producing a severe weather outbreak this afternoon. Supercell thunderstorms will likely develop in Nebraska/Kansas during the mid afternoon hours and move east during the evening hours. Severe thunderstorms will also initiate from southwestern Missouri to northeastern Texas by early evening. These storms will be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail, and numerous tornadoes. People in the above areas need to pay close attention to rapidly changing weather conditions and heed any warnings that are issued for their county. By Friday, this storm system will likely produce severe weather from the Southeast to the Ohio Valley.
A band of nearly stationary rain, stretching from eastern Iowa to central Illinois, has produced very heavy rain over the past 8 hours with nearly 3” of rain near Springfield, Ill. This band of rain will slowly start to move toward Chicago later this afternoon and eventually into Minneapolis.
Winter storm watches and warnings are widespread across the Central and Northern Rockies as a powerful storm system lumbers across the region. From Utah and Colorado northward into Montana, expect heavy snow and strong winds over the next 12 to 18 hours. Parts of the Wasatch and the Colorado Rockies will easily pick up over a foot of snow while some of the high terrain in Montana could see three feet of snow. In addition to the snow, expect wind gusts approaching 50 mph in some locations. The heavy snowfall and widespread valley rain will slowly diminish late this afternoon/evening.
Heavy snow here in Montana now, of course this is our normal April.
If you spin around in the same direction as a tornado is moving you won't be hurt.
Do you use the firefox accuweather extension? If not, I highly recommend it.
Weather in Tulsa area is soupy, warm, with strong southern winds. This may be a repeat of the past two storms that ripped through Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, etc..

In West Tx.,as of this posting,the wind is so bad its hard to stand upright.It just started about an hour ago.Up until then it was a pretty nice day.I dont spot any clouds though,but here things can change very fast.Hopefully,no fires will start.If that were to happen,we are in deep doo doo.
Where are you? Want to know if it will be blowing this way.
But if you spin in the opposite direction at the same speed, you will cancel it completely.
Think of others too, not just yourself.
11:10 radar shows a pretty large development in east central Oklahoma getting close to Arkansas upper western border. Appears this is beginning to organize more rapidly. Rats. Not again. - OB1

It covers all severe weather postings by NOAA. Nothing beats checking outside and local radio/TV.
