MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PARTS OF THE TN VLY/GULF Fri 10th April 09

All the hall mark for HIGH RISK UPGRADE.

Strong possibilities for multiple outbreak of tornadoes based on the NAM/RUC.

[dogs32]

Tornado warnings coming in thick and fast at present for NASHVILLE/MEMPHIS and WESTERN KENTUCKY

Yes Dog, things could get going today much earlier than anticipated. The region at risk of severe weather will cover many states and not just the risk box that I have shown above. This includes the distribution of tornadoes. Though from a virtual chase perspective the best chances for the strongest tornadoes should occur primarily Alabama after 19Z. Though as always that is a personal opinion :o

I would like to add further detail to this interesting outlook, hopefully a bit later this evening!

Fox news now reporting on the tornado threat, early reports of tornados in the suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee.

Also, at least of one of the tornados is described as strong and violent in Kentucky.

I can't find any streams yet, not much on tornadovideos.net. Fox news have said this could be largest event so far this year and also the famous 'PDS' tag has been given.

This is the first time I am properly following it too, I was working last year but i'm at uni now so I have much more time.

Also Fox news have just shown pictures of a destroyed home and Dogs, there is a tornado warning for Huntsville!
