Severe Weather Alert

Watches Issued in Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi as Severe Storms Charge East

NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has issued the following severe weather watches:

•A tornado watch is in effect until 9 p.m. CST for parts of eastern Arkansas, southwest Tennessee and northwest Mississippi. This watch includes the Memphis metropolitan area.

•A tornado watch is in effect until 8 p.m. CST for parts of central, south-central and southwest Louisiana. This watch includes Alexandria, Lake Charles and Lafayette.

•A tornado watch is in effect until 8 p.m. CST for parts of eastern Louisiana, western Mississippi and extreme southeast Arkansas. The watch includes Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Jackson, Mississippi.

Tuesday:

•Threat Areas:

Thunderstorms, some severe, will continue to spreading from eastern Texas, eastern Oklahoma and southwest Missouri to Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and southwest Tennessee. Although the most widespread threat will be damaging winds with a persistent squall line, tornadoes remain possible, especially with any storms that form well ahead of an advancing cold front.

Tuesday Night:

•Threat Areas:

Severe thunderstorms continue, possibly in a squall line in southeast Missouri, western Tennessee, Mississippi, southwest Alabama, eastern Arkansas and southeast Louisiana.

Wednesday:

•Threat Areas:

Any lingering severe threat will depend on how much instability remains with the system as it moves east. Right now, it appears that a few severe storms could fire from extreme southeast Louisiana and extreme southern Mississippi to Alabama, the Florida panhandle and southern Georgia. An isolated severe storm cannot be ruled out in north Georgia and eastern Tennessee.

Between this and the winter weather moving in, things are starting to get dangerous out there. Stay safe and drive careful!

Anyone got any info on I-70 in Colorado? I'm heading out from east of Denver super early tomorrow morning, heading to Grand Junction, and I'm a little concerned about the road conditions

That area changes fast weather wise, a buddy of mine was out there last week in the snow but best bet would be to look at a local weather radar and forecast

Looking at some of those wind gusts in the NW is scary... 119mph gusts... yeah i'm pretty sure that would flip a trailer easily, especially if it was empty.
