THREAT FOR LONG-LIVED, LONG-TRACKED AND POWERFUL TORNADOES REMAINS HIGH INTO TONIGHT

Up until now, the tornadoes which have formed have largely impacted rural areas but as we enter the much more dangerous overnight hours, the threat for cities being hit increases.

The risk for dangerous, long-lived, long tracked tornadoes remains very high tonight and of course the danger aspect increases because these beasts cannot be seen. I urge you to have your NOAA radio on at all times through the night and be aware of the weather off to your southwest as most super cells are firing and running northeastwards.

Also be aware of newly forming thunderstorms and the rapid transition into dangerous supercells. The atmospheric environment is highly conductive through tonight with PDS tornado warnings now extended into the overnight period.
