a reply to: TechniXcality

Is it possible to get the mod's to change the title of the thread?

New dates of severe weather are ahead ----

Rather than start another, I sent a message to the mod's to see if we could change the title of this thread to "Severe Weather Outbreaks".

A big "THANK YOU" to the mod's for changing the thread title!!!

Just wanted to send out a heartfelt thank you, to the dedicated members posting weather updates for us.

I know it takes time, effort, and a lot of caring about others, to keep this thread up to date.

THANK YOU!!!

Thursday - May 8th

"The severe weather event Thursday will include damaging wind gusts to 70 mph, large hail, flash flooding and even isolated tornadoes

7:39pm CT: No tornado warning ATTM, but a velocity couplet is located S of Killeen, TX. Storm moving E at 25 mph.

Tornado Warning for Conway, Pope and Van Buren Counties in AR until 9:30 PM CDT

8:53pm CT: Tornado warning issued near Russellville, AR. Rotation detected

Friday


Severe thunderstorms in west-central OH, southern two-thirds of IN, south IL, southeast half of MO, western KY, western TN, northwest half of MS, most of AR except far west, northwest half of LA, southeast third of TX. TOR:CON 2 or less.

I know that right now everyone's attention is turned to the south and eastern US
but here in the Rocky Mountains we have own storm system moving in and it's a real dozy!

Tonight A 40 percent chance of snow showers, mainly before 1am. Some thunder is also possible. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 23. Breezy, with a west wind 15 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Saturday A slight chance of snow showers before noon, then a chance of rain showers. Some thunder is also possible. Partly sunny, with a high near 44. Breezy, with a west southwest wind 14 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Saturday Night Snow likely. Some thunder is also possible. Cloudy, with a low around 25. West southwest wind 9 to 13 mph becoming southeast after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.
Sunday Snow. High near 30. Breezy, with a southeast wind 11 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

Sunday Night Snow likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 14. Chance of precipitation is 70%.
Monday A 50 percent chance of snow. Partly sunny, with a high near 30.

Monday Night A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 13.

In short their saying we could see up to 2 feet of new snow by Monday in the high country. Rain in the lower valleys of course.

But that's two more feet of snow on top of what we already have.

I'm not kidding when I say the TPTB are really worried about spring flooding here when it comes!

And while those folks are dealing with this newer storm, just wait until next week when this one hitting us tonight get to where you are and mixes with all the warm air coming up from the Gulf.

Heads up. Looks like we may be in for more severe weather.

Large Flood Zone Across Central/Eastern United States With Storms Over Next 10 Day Period

A large flood zone is being projected across the Plains, eastward through the East-Central United States, from the Gulf States north to the Great Lake States. Severe storms will accompany the system.

A round of storms will hit the area starting tomorrow for the plains and spreading eastward from there through the red-shaded zones. Very heavy rainfall will accompany all storm system that cross this area over the next 10 day period, bringing flooding. Severe thunderstorms with large hail, damaging winds, and even tornadoes may accompany parts of the shaded zone as well. Those will be addressed the morning of their arrival in official TheWeatherSpace.com alert products.
