Round #2 of Severe Weather this Sunday

The Storm Prediction Center is calling for a Slight Risk of severe weather this Sunday right in the same place that just got hit by yesterdays severe weather. This year being a “La Nina” year, the southeastern part of the United States is more prone to Severe Weather outbreaks this spring. Meteorologist Kirk Mellish of WSB Radio says,

“La Nina always gives rise to concern for the severe weather season. Last year I correctly forecast below average severe weather, particularly tornadoes. This year looks to have a more active tornado season than last year, especially April and early May as it looks now.”

So all the data is pointing to a very active tornado season in the Southeast. Remember that a Tornado Watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather, including Tornadoes, Large Hail and Damaging Winds. A Tornado Warning means that a Tornado has been detected on Doppler Radar or is occuring or could touch down at any moment, it also means that threat to life and property has developed. If a tornado is imminent and you are in a home or building, move to a pre-designated shelter on the lowest floor, such as a basement, or a small interior room closet, bathroom or hallway – and get under a sturdy piece of furniture. Remember to always put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. I hope that this article was very helpful and informative.
