Severe Weather

Daily convective outlooks as issued by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC).  Outlooks are issued out to three days and provide a perceived level of risk for severe weather (thunderstorms, tornadoes, and/or hail).  A slight risk (SLGT) implies well-organized severe thunderstorms are expected but in small numbers and/or low coverage.  A moderate risk (MDT) implies a greater concentration of severe thunderstorms, and in most situations, greater magnitude of severe weather.  The high risk (HIGH) area almost always means a major severe weather outbreak is expected, with great coverage of severe weather and enhanced likelihood of extreme severe (i.e., violent tornadoes or extreme convective wind events over a large area).
