One person was killed and several others injured after a significant tornado plowed through the New Orleans area, destroying structures in the Ninth Ward and severing power to more than 12,000 people.
The storm is wrapped up within a major dip in the jet stream, a river of quickly moving winds in the upper atmosphere. As the winds aloft strengthen over the East Coast and Midwest, thunderstorms will begin to rotate. There are two key areas to watch:Thunderstorms will bloom during the evening east of the Appalachians from southwest Virginia through the Carolina Piedmont and continuing south into northern Florida.
Models are aggressive in simulating a number of rotating thunderstorms blossoming from a Charleston, W.Va., to Morgantown line and points north and west, expanding through the Wayne National Forest in southeast Ohio. These sporadic clusters and supercells will yield a decent tornado risk as they pinwheel northeast.
The risk should subside after dark Wednesday as a period of well-deserved quiescent weather arrives. A new system, however, may bring renewed severe weather odds by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
