There is a moderate risk today for portions of the Midwest and Dixie Alley. A upper trough system continues to make its way eastward. The tornado risk for the area is currently at 10% with the main tornado threat in AR and MO. Tornado Watches are currently in effect.

Ther SPC said this: For AR/MO: LARGE-SCALE ASCENT IS FORECAST TO BE WEAKER THAN AREAS TO THE NORTH WHICH SHOULD HELP THE SUPERCELLS REMAIN DISCRETE BUT THE STORMS MAY BE MORE ISOLATED AS WELL. IN ADDITION...FORECAST SOUNDINGS ACROSS CNTRL AND NRN AR SHOW SFC WINDS BACKED TO THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST WHICH COMBINED WITH LOW LCL HEIGHTS
 COULD BE FAVORABLE FOR AN ISOLATED STRONG TORNADO.
