Largest Severe Weather Outbreak of 2014 Could Happen Over Next Few Days For U.S.

This weekend and into the first part of next week could see the largest severe weather outbreak of 2014 so far for the U.S. Large hail, destructive winds, and tornadoes are an expected possibility the next few days. This chance for hazardous weather ranges from Alabama and Texas all the way up to South Dakota and over into areas of the Midwest. If it does happen, this outbreak will happen exactly three years to the date of the largest tornado outbreak the nation ever had. That tornado outbreak went on for four days which would be similar to this one, and spawned the infamous Tuscaloosa tornado which went all the way into suburban Birmingham, Alabama on April 27, 2011. By putting the word out, meteorologists are hoping that news releases might help to keep the counties residents from being caught off guard. They also want to remind individuals to keep their NOAA emergency radios handy and listen to them throughout the weekend.



One of the main reasons for extra concern this weekend is that tornadoes have been basically nearly non-existent this year as of yet and people can forget what they learn from one year to the next.
Just because the tornado season for 2014 has been fairly silent so far does not mean that could not turn on a dime. In 2013 55 tornado-related fatalities happened in the states of Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Illinois and Arkansas. In 2011 there were 553 people killed by tornadoes in what was considered the most deadly tornado season since 1936. Repeating: this weekend and into the first part of next week could see the largest severe weather outbreak of 2014 so far for the U.S. Large hail, destructive winds, and tornadoes are an expected possibility the next few days. This chance for hazardous weather ranges from Alabama and Texas all the way up to South Dakota and over into areas of the Midwest.
