4/2/2012 — 2nd line of severe storms breaking out — TX, OK, KS, NE = tornadoes , damaging winds, hail

Watch the video alert here:

——————————————–

If you live, or know someone who lives in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, or Nebraska — be ALERT that another storm has developed — literally, a 2nd small low pressure system has developed in the southWEST over New Mexico / South-Central Texas.

Strong storms, damaging winds, tornadoes, and hail are associated with these systems.

Both of these small low pressure systems — Im using plural here because there is still the first low pressure development down over Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama — these systems spun off the single system from 2-3 days ago out west….. the 1st low is still producing damaging winds, and hail (as well as possible tornado detections).

screenshots from intellicast — 845pm CDT 4/2/2012 :

You can expect BOTH systems to eventually push east / northeast — intersecting several other midwest states such as Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin..

As always have your severe weather plans practiced and ready — sometimes these storms hit in the middle of the night when most people are least prepared to deal with sudden developments like tornadoes or damaging winds.

Take appropriate steps to protect personal property from damaging hail (nickle sized or greater).. also have a protective shelter plan ready just in case winds get out of hand.
