<link>http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html</link>
<description>There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms from southeastern Missouri into southern Illinois, southwestern Indiana and western Kentucky. Heating will occur along and south of an outflow boundary that should exist roughly from eastern and southeastern Missouri into southern Illinois and western Kentucky later today. With little in the way of capping, heating should result in additional diurnal storms. Cool mid to upper level temperatures, heating, and lift along the boundary should result in one or more clusters of deep convection capable of large hail and damaging winds. The slight risk area may need to be adjusted depending upon where the outflow boundary sets up.</description>

<link>http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html</link>
<description>There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms over a portion of the lower Mississippi Valley. As Isaac continues inland, it may begin to entrain drier air aloft which may contribute to more cloud breaks between rain bands. If this occurs the potential for more substantial destabilization will be greater as will the threat for isolated tornadoes. Seven tornadoes were reported in Mississippi and Alabama yesterday.</description>

<title>Severe Weather Outlook for Wednesday</title>
<link>http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html</link>
<description>Hurricane Isaac is forecast to move northwestward slowly allowing for a prolonged flow of very moist air to persist over the central Gulf Coastal Region. Based on the forecast intensity as Isaac moves inland, an isolated tornado threat will persist across the central Gulf Coast Wednesday.  Possible breaks in cloud cover may allow for greater heating and destabilization on the outer fringes of the circulation and perhaps more persistent supercell structures.</description>

<description>As Isaac continues moving northwest, low-level wind fields will strengthen substantially along the central and northeastern Gulf Coast. Outer bands approaching the coast during the morning will pose an isolated tornado risk, and the threat will gradually shift northwestward later in the day as Isaac approaches the coast.</description>

<title>Threat of Severe Thunderstorms on Tuesday</title>
<link>http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html</link>
<description>There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms over the eastern Dakotas and Nebraska, northeastern Kansas, Iowa, most of Minnesota, and western Wisconsin. A shortwave trough will move from the Missouri Valley across the Ohio Valley region during the day, helping to move moisture and instability northeastward with a threat of severe hail and wind. Meanwhile, a more substantial upper trough will move into the Northern Plains with low pressure deepening across the Dakotas into western Minnesota southwestward across Nebraska. Both shear and instability will be favorable for severe storms. </description>

<description>A strong storm system along with a strong cold front produced a significant severe weather outbreak from Texas to the Ohio Valley with numerous tornadoes reported in Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana. Over 300 reports of severe weather were received. At least two separate "families" of long-lived tornadic supercells appear to have resulted in deaths and damage across portions of Arkansas and Tennessee. At least six tornadoes touched down in the 100 miles between Oxford, Mississippi, and Jackson, Tennessee, according to the National Weather Service in Memphis, where deaths and damage were also reported. Severe weather is possible again today over the Upper Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic states southward to the eastern Gulf Coast.</description>
