October Severe Weather Outbreak: Millions Threatened, Damage Reported






Early Monday morning, destructive storms turned deadly in Little River County, Arkansas. An Arkansas Marine and father of three, Eddy Withem, died during what the National Weather Service has called an EF2 tornado, marking the first tornado fatality in the month of October since 2009. Later in the day Monday, an Alabama woman died when a tree fell on her home.

Monday evening, the primary threat is located in the Deep South and Tennessee Valley throughout the evening and nighttime hours. The top concern is damaging straight-line winds associated with the squall line of severe thunderstorms. But rain-wrapped tornadoes are possible both within the squall line, and in any discrete supercells that form ahead of the squall line. These supercells may form 100 miles or more ahead of the main line of severe thunderstorms.
