Mississippi tornado season kicks off as a tornado was spotted and expected to hit this weekend and earlier next week.
A tornado warning was issued as a part of the massive twister outbreak that forecasters are expecting to stretch from the Midwest to the Deep South. The warning came just days after the Mississippi tornado season 2014 was declared as the safest for nearly 100 years since there were no tornado-related deaths that were reported as of this year. The tornado spotted raises concern for the residents of the possible affected areas thus massive warning was issued so that people will be prepared.
Areas facing the greatest threat of the Mississippi tornado season include southern Nebraska, central Kansas, parts of Oklahoma and northwest Texas. The latest tornado warning is actually forecasting the storm conditions could possibly trigger tornado formation through the Mississippi valley. Tornadoes that could possibly form on Saturday could result to thunderstorms with severe weather conditions.
High wind advisories were already in place as this weekend's surge of severe weather condition could prove to be the worst Mississippi tornado season.
"A reason for extra concern this weekend is that tornadoes have been nearly non-existent so far and people tend to forget what they have learned from year to year," Mike Smith, senior vice president of AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions said.
In addition to the tornado warning issued, according to INQUISITR.com, Bill Bunting from the Storm Prediction Center explained how the weather forecast explains the imminent threat.
"This is a very strong upper system with very strong wind shear. We are on track for at least a 3-day round of severe weather. It's difficult to say at this time just how significant."
The start of 2014 has been quiet for tornado-related catastrophe since there were no fatalities recorded. The massive tornado warning was also released to remind people on how to be prepared for the upcoming severe weather condition. The Mississippi tornado season is now being carefully monitored since weather condition could possibly turn worst.
