Federal Response Region VII RWC at Watch/Steady State; RRCC not activated Severe Weather Forecast - Southeast: An outbreak of severe thunderstorms is likely today across much of the Southeast, continuing northward along and west of the Appalachians into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys. This will include supercell development with a risk for tornadoes, some of which will be strong and long-lived, particularly across the Southeast. Large to very large hail and damaging straight-line winds also appear likely. The heaviest precipitation, in excess of three inches in some locations, will produce localized flash flooding from the Florida Panhandle to the Carolinas.

Articles of Interest Goldstone Radar Observations Planning: Asteroid 2014 JO25 2014 JO25 2014 JO25 was discovered in May 2014. This asteroid will approach within 4.6 lunar distances (0.0118 au) on 2017 April 19 when it will be among the strongest asteroid radar targets of the year. The 2017 flyby is the closest by an asteroid at least this large since the encounter by 4179 Toutatis at four lunar distances in September 2004. The next known flyby by an object with a comparable or larger diameter will occur when 800-m-diameter asteroid 1999 AN10 approaches within one lunar distance in August 2027. Extracted from : JPL This is rated 0 on the Torino Scale, indicating no threat expected 7 (Back to top)
