SPC's on my bandwagon...(or vice versa)

Well, I talked about our severe weather threat for next weekend as sort of the odd man out on this forecast. This morning though, every weather agency has made some mention of it. Take a look at this new outlook from the SPC (Storm Prediction Center, NWS):


This potential area for severe weather has widened since yesterday's forecast. Also, here's an excerpt from a new "Hazardous Weather Outlook" from our hometown NWS office:

A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SWEEP
THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON OR SATURDAY NIGHT...LIKELY
BRINGING A ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY BE
STRONG.

So now everyone is on the bandwagon for a severe event. I don't know about tornadoes though. I don' t think we'll have a big risk here of tornadoes, but south of the KY/TN border may have a greater threat as the intensity of these storms increase the further south you go. Be alert!
