   PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK  
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0704 AM CST WED DEC 23 2015

   ...Severe thunderstorms expected over parts of the Mid South region
   today...

   * LOCATIONS...
     Northern Mississippi
     Eastern Arkansas
     Western Tennessee
     Extreme southeastern Missouri including the Bootheel
     Extreme western Kentucky
     Extreme southern Illinois

   * HAZARDS...
     Several tornadoes, a few intense
     Scattered damaging winds
     Isolated large hail

   * SUMMARY...
     The greatest threat for tornadoes, along with damaging wind and
     occasional hail, will be from eastern Arkansas and Northern
     Mississippi to extreme southern Illinois. Some risk for all
     those severe-weather threats exists today elsewhere over a vast
     swath from the central Gulf Coast region and lower Mississippi
     Valley to the southern Upper Great lakes region and parts of the
     Ohio Valley. Severe weather may shift eastward into the southern
     Appalachians region tonight. A marginal severe-storm threat
     exists farther eastward to parts of the Carolinas.

   Preparedness actions...

   Review your severe weather safety procedures for the possibility
   of dangerous weather today. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, 
   weather.gov, or other media for watches and warnings. A tornado
   watch means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form
   during the next several hours. If a tornado warning is issued for
   your area, move to a place of safety, ideally in a basement or
   interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building.
