The combination of gusty south to southwest winds, low relative
humidities, record to near record temperatures, and small fuels
drying out from a stretch of dry weather will lead to elevated
burning danger on Saturday. Given sustained winds of 10 to 20 mph

uncontrolled. Use caution if planning to burn tomorrow, and
perhaps consider another day if possible.

Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0652 AM CST Thu Feb 17 2022

Valid 171300Z - 181200Z

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF THE MID-SOUTH AND TN VALLEY...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the Mid-South,
Tennessee Valley, and the lower Ohio Valley, mainly later today into
this evening. Damaging winds and a strong tornado or two will be
possible.

...Mid South/TN Valley into the OH Valley through this evening...
A midlevel shortwave trough over the Red River of TX/OK this morning
will eject northeastward to the OH River by this evening, as an
associated surface cyclone likewise develops northeastward from
southeast OK this morning to southern OH this evening. In advance
of a cold front trailing the surface cyclone, continued northward
moisture transport will result in mid-upper 60s boundary-layer
dewpoints reaching the Mid South this afternoon, and low-mid 60s
into middle TN and AL by this evening/early tonight. Surface
heating in cloud breaks and the increasing low-level moisture will
result in MLCAPE of 500-750 J/kg in advance of the cold front this
afternoon, especially near and east of the MS River.

Thus far, overnight and morning convection across north
TX/OK/western AR has not been particularly intense/organized. There
is substantial uncertainty regarding how quickly any severe/tornado
threat will increase during the day across AR, given widespread
clouds and the saturated profile noted in the 12z LZK sounding. The
primary threat for supercells in the warm sector may be delayed
until mid afternoon across the Mid South, with broken bands of
storms/embedded supercells along and ahead of the front spreading
eastward into AL/Middle TN this evening. Despite the rather modest
buoyancy and lapse rates expected, very strong low-level shear
(curved hodographs with 300-500 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH) and effective bulk
shear of 50-60 kt will favor supercells, and a storm or two could
produce a strong tornado (in addition to damaging winds) this
afternoon into this evening across northeast MS/northwest AL and
adjacent areas of TN.

Otherwise, a shallow/forced band of convection will likely accompany
the surface cyclone and trailing cold front just to the south.
Buoyancy will remain weak close to the OH River and some low-level
static stability could persist through the day. However, profiles
will be sensitive to changes of only a few degrees (from the low to
the mid 60s), such that there is still some potential for damaging
winds and a line-embedded tornado or two as far north as the cyclone
track through this evening. Overnight, the severe threat will
diminish with northeastward and eastward extent as a result of
minimal buoyancy and the stronger forcing for ascent no longer
phasing with the remaining weakly unstable warm sector to the south.

Power Outages
Everyone experiences power interruptions from time to time. Many of these outages come at times of weather extremes or accompany various disasters. When the power is out, safety becomes a major concern.
• Register life-sustaining equipment with your utility company.
• Make sure you have an alternate heat source and supply of fuel.
• Consider purchasing a generator, especially if someone in the house requires life-sustaining equipment that runs on electricity.
• When installing generators, follow the manufacturer's instructions very carefully.
• If your house is the only one without power, check your fuse box or circuit breaker panel. Turn off appliances before replacing fuses or resetting circuits.
• If power is out in the neighborhood, disconnect all electrical heaters and appliances to reduce the initial demand and protect the motors from possible low voltage damage.
• Unplug computers and other voltage-sensitive equipment to protect them against possible surges when the power is restored.
• Conserve water, especially if you are on a well.
• Keep your refrigerator and freezer doors closed. If the door remains closed, a fully loaded freezer can keep foods frozen for two days.
• Never use a charcoal barbeque inside the home. If you use candles for light, keep in mind they can cause a fire. It's far better to use battery-operated flashlights or glow sticks for alternative lighting.
• If you use a kerosene heater, gas lantern or stove inside the house, maintain ventilation to avoid a build up of toxic fumes.
• If your power is out, leave a light switch in the on position to alert you when services are restored.
• If you own an electric garage door opener, learn how to open the door without power.
• Prepare a power outage kit, or better yet, make it a part of your disaster preparedness kit. Consider having light sticks, flashlights, a battery-powered radio with extra batteries, and a wind-up clock as a part of the kit.
• Have a corded telephone available; remember cordless phones will not work when the power is out.

Home Safety Tips: Generator Safety

Many households run generators during a power outage and homeowners should take extra precautions to avoid injury. Gas- or diesel-powered generators can produce potentially deadly levels of carbon monoxide and should be operated only in well-ventilated, covered, unheated areas – never inside. You should always practice extreme caution when using a generator to power your home:

 Make sure the generator is listed by an independent testing organization, such as Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL).

 Protect the generator from exposure to rain, but under no circumstances should generators be used indoors, including a garage. Do not operate the generator near any open windows or doorways.

 Before using a generator, make sure you have installed a carbon monoxide (CO) detector near sleeping areas to alert you in the event of increased levels of CO in your home.

 Never connect a generator to the home’s electrical system; instead, plug what you want to power directly into the generator.

 Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and maintenance schedule.

Mesoscale Discussion 2003
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1044 PM CST Fri Dec 10 2021

Areas affected...Portions of western Kentucky.

Concerning...Tornado Watch 554...

Valid 110444Z - 110545Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 554 continues.

SUMMARY...Strong to intense tornado damage is expected to continue
across portions of western Kentucky.

DISCUSSION...The long-track supercell, now entering Hopkins county,
Kentucky, has now had a nearly continuous TDS for over 3 hours with
an average vRot over 70 knots. The radar presentation and downstream
environment does not show any sign of weakening this storm in the
near term. In fact, recent observations ahead of this supercell have
shown temperature increases of 2 to 3 F and dewpoint increases of 2
to 3F. This, combined with the cooling temperatures aloft, has
actually increased instability ahead of this storm over the last 2
hours. Warm sector winds have veered slightly in the last hour which
has reduced low-level shear slightly. However, there is still
significant turning between the surface and the southwesterly
low-level jet, and therefore, despite this slightly weaker shear, it
likely won't have much of an impact on storm tornadic potential.

The likely catalysts for weakening this long-lived tornadic
supercell will be eventual movement into low to mid 60s dewpoints
and weaker instability, or storm interference as the storms to the
west catch up with the lead supercell. Neither of these are expected
to have an impact in the next hour, but may bring some reprieve
after 06Z.
