Ongoing supercell development in Arkansas. The environment is INCREDIBLY favorable for strong to violent tornadoes.

A tornado warning got issued now in Arkansas, so please make sure you have a way of getting warnings, including areas downstream such as Tennessee and Kentucky, and perhaps Mississippi and Alabama too.
 
A State of Emergency has been issued for the entire state of Kentucky.
 
Update on the severe weather. We're finally entering our first quiet/inactive period, with not much happening for the next few days, and possibly nothing much for another week or two, aside from an Enhanced risk tomorrow for wind.
The tornado outbreak sequence from the 19th to the 26th now has 20 confirmed fatalities from tornadoes, with an additional 8 from other severe weather not related to tornadoes. Over 162 tornadoes have been confirmed, with 14 being EF2, 10 being EF3, and 1 being EF4. The number of tornadoes is going to rise in the next few days.
The OIS (outbreak intensity score) of this outbreak is at 88, ranking it as a "devastating outbreak", which makes it one of the most destructive tornado outbreaks of the century.
The rating of a lot of these tornadoes are also expected to be upgraded, with a few EF3 tornadoes being investigated for a potential upgrade to EF4, as well as a few EF2 tornadoes possibly being upgraded to an EF3 eventually, and so on.

I have some buddies in Texas and they told me power was knocked out in the dfw area due to tornados.
So there’s that.

Yesterday was bad for North Texas, and there were storm warnings for Houston yesterday. I think Louisiana got it worse, though.

Gigantic Cyclone is about to smash into Chile. For context, under normal circumstances this literally never happens, but the ongoing magnetic pole shift has completely thrown the weather patterns out of whack.

A large and destructive tornado struck areas in South Africa earlier today. The damage seems catastrophic.

Tornadoes aren't too uncommon in South Africa, but possibly violent ones like these are extremely rare for the region.
 
I hear the hurricane season is expected to be bad this year due to how warm ocean Temps are already.
 
A large tornado just went through parts of the northern DC metro in Maryland. It's moving east-northeast into parts of south Baltimore in about half an hour, and has a chance to produce another possibly large tornado.

EDIT: Likely tornado just northwest of Baltimore, from a different storm. Take cover, it only just got warned!

I did not expect a full on tornado outbreak on a Marginal risk day. 4 tornado warnings at the moment in/near the Baltimore area, with some more spin-up tornadoes further south in Alabama.
