Moderate risk for severe weather now issued by SPC.

The NWS storm prediction center in Norman, OK has upgraded the risk for significant severe to moderate for today/tonight.  The highest risk area at this time is most of Louisiana, southern Arkansas, and southern Mississippi.  The threat for long-lived supercell thunderstorms and potentially strong tornadoes will exist in this region late this afternoon into tonight.  This will be a very dangerous situation for an area just plagued by recent severe weather.  Any storm is more dangerous at night, and tornadoes are especially dangerous at night.  No light coupled with the fact that most people are asleep make tornadoes exponentially more deadly.  Stay tuned this afternoon and evening for continued updates on this storm system.
