Very Slight Weak Tornado Threat


The Storm Prediction Center has put a small portion of the eastern Ozarks in a 2% category for isolated weak tornadoes this afternoon and early evening.

Bands of storms, especially those who have some sunshine form on either side of them, have the potential to become supercells, aided by a somewhat favorable low level wind in connection with the slow loving low now drifting northward in southwestern Missouri.


Areas north and east of an arc from Bolivar to Ava to Mtn Home, AR (a bit larger than the SPC area above) are in this minor threat area.
