It’s hard to believe that our great country was founded 249 years ago this weekend. It is certainly a time to ponder our great accomplishments as a nation and to remember our Fallen Heroes who made freedom and all our endeavors possible.

As powerful jet stream winds eject out of the Rockies, another round of severe storms is expected with all hazards expected including "hurricane force" straight-line winds, baseball sized hail and STRONG TORNADOES. Updating timing and latest hi-res models in this brief VIDEO UPDATE...

Some strong wording coming from the Storm Prediction Center regarding the environment for tornadoes this evening: "Intense Supercells with STRONG, POTENTIALLY LONG-TRACK TORNADOES".  My thoughts on when these storms will fire and WHO WILL BE MOST AT RISK in this video update.

Unseasonably strong jet-stream energy is blasting into the Central US right now setting the stage for MULTIPLE DAYS OF SEVERE STORMS.  Tonight's VIDEO UPDATE will focus on the MODERATE RISK area issued for the Lower Ohio and Middle Mississippi River Valley for Friday, particularly Friday evening when the table appears to be set for the possibility of VERY LARGE hail and STRONG TORNADOES.

The return of powerful jet stream winds are expected to result in a multi-day severe weather event across parts of the Midwest/Great Lakes and Ohio Valley as we head into the weekend.  Latest on tornado risk and timing in this video update...
