Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm Risk For the Next Six Days

After a record slow start to the 2014 tornado season, it looks like it will be trying to catch up for the next six days. 

This Afternoon and Tonight

The tornado risk (5% is significant) is geographically small.

The large hail risk (15% is significant) is much higher. The hatched area is where 2" or larger hail is forecast to occur.

Much more severe weather is forecast the next five days. More on that later today.
