   PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK  
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   1143 AM CDT SAT APR 14 2007
   
   ...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST US
   TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT...
   
   THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
   DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STRONG TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST US
   TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT.
   
   THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE
   
          CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ALABAMA
          WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE
          CENTRAL GEORGIA
          SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
          CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA
   
   SURROUNDING THIS AREA...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE
   THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA INTO SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA.
   
   A POWERFUL UPPER SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE
   TENNESSEE VALLEY TODAY AND TONIGHT.  MEANWHILE...A SURFACE LOW WILL
   DEEPEN RAPIDLY AND TRACK NORTHEASTWARD ALONG A WARM FRONT FROM
   NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION.  RAPID RETURN OF
   LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS OCCURRING SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT ACROSS MUCH
   OF THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES...LEADING TO MODERATE INSTABILITY
   AND AN ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER EVENT THROUGH TONIGHT.
   
   SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING OVER PARTS OF SOUTHEAST
   MISSISSIPPI AND WESTERN ALABAMA.  OTHER INTENSE STORMS ARE EXPECTED
   TO FORM EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS SOUTHERN ALABAMA INTO WESTERN
   GEORGIA...THEN EXPANDING EASTWARD ACROSS GEORGIA INTO SOUTH CAROLINA
   OVERNIGHT.  VEERING AND INCREASING WINDS WITH HEIGHT SUGGEST THE
   POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF TORNADOES...
   DAMAGING WINDS...AND LARGE HAIL.  THUNDERSTORMS INTERACTING WITH THE
   WARM FRONT WILL POSE A RISK OF STRONG TORNADOES.
   
   THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER
   SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER
   RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
