    The 13Z Convective Outlook issued by SPC continues to maintain a Moderate Risk for severe weather centered over Arkansas, where the highest threat for damaging winds and a few strong tornadoes will exist from this evening into late tonight.... A Slight Risk covers much of the central United States, from the Texas/Louisiana coast northward into northern Illinois.

    How unusual are Moderate Risk Day 2 Outlooks from the SPC? The Day 2 Moderate Risk for tomorrow is the 5th Day 2 Moderate Risk issued in the month of January over the last 15 years. So, about once every 3 years.

    Perhaps, more importantly, ...how did these forecasts work out? Here's the rundown:

    1999-01-21 (Valid on Jan. 22nd. Forecaster: Thompson): 43 tornadoes (2 F3), 1 fatal, 20 injuries; AL, AR, IL, KY, LA, MS, TN, TX (EST. $76M DAMAGES)

    2000-01-02 (Valid on Jan. 3rd. Forecaster: Hart): 11 tornadoes (3 F3), 0 fatal, 21 injuries; AR, IN, KY, MS (EST. $72M DAMAGES)

    2006-01-01 (Valid on Jan. 2nd. Forecaster: Kerr and continued by Carbin): 18 tornadoes (1 EF3), 0 fatal, 5 injuries; GA, FL, IL, KY, MO (EST. $7M DAMAGES)

    2006-01-12 (Valid on Jan. 13th. Forecaster: Kerr): 19 tornadoes (no EF2+, 6 EF1), 1 fatal, 34 injuries, AL, FL, GA, LA, NC, SC, VA (EST. $7M DAMAGES)

    2013-01-28 (Valid on Jan. 29th. Forecaster: Dial): To be determined. Now is the time to prepare if you are in the area of concern: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html    See More
