The Weather Channel (TWC) Exclusive TOR:CON index
by Dr. Greg Forbes, TWC Severe Weather & Tornado Expert

What is the TOR:CON Index?

the TOR:CON index is an estimate of the likelihood of tornado activity within a given time period.

TOR:CON Value Descriptions

8: High probability of a tornado
6: Moderate possibility of a tornado
4: Low chance of a tornado nearby, but hail and/or strong wind gusts possible
2: Very low chance of a tornado, but hail and/or strong wind gusts possible
0: Near-zero chance of a tornado or a severe thunderstorm

Areas listed below have an above-average threat of having severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, hail, and/or tornadoes for the specified days.

Severe Weather Overview

All ingredients are coming together for a dangerous tornado situation in northeast TX, south AR as a surface low forms in TX, wind shear is favorable, instability is very large, and an upper level jet stream is blasting into the area. Farther north and east, lesser-instability and wind shear will bring severe thunderstorms and an isolated tornado threat. Severe thunderstorm and tornado outbreak will continue Wednesday and Thursday as the cold front marches east.

4-5 today and tomorrow for me (northwestern KY).

I already had plenty of "fun" last evening and until 4 a.m. tracking the tornadic storms come my way that destroyed Vilonia, AR yesterday.

When they finally arrived, it was 4:15 a.m. and two tornado warnings came within 5 miles of my home.

My husband made fun of me for staying up. Whatever.

I will be up again tonight - I can already tell.

This severely tornadic April from hell is REALLY getting old.

We've got a supercell tornado barrelling down on the metro Louisville, KY area right now.

Confirmed tornado on the ground a county and a half away from Louisville and moving Northeast.

Louisville is immediately northeast of the tornado's current position.

It is moving across Grayson county and moving into Breckinridge county.

Rough River lake to Leitchfield, KY is ground zero right now.

This super cell is aloft to 50,000 ft, is contacting the jet stream, has a large hail core, and is laying down golfball to softball size hail.

It has a history of causing damage downstate KY already.

Hail is extending into eastern Hardin county.

per WLKY TV Louisville storm analyzer 3D suoer doppler radar.

A rotating wallcloud supercellular tornado like you see the storm chasers go after on the Oklahoma Plains is being tracked by the National Weather Service out of Louisville, KY.

It is presently over northeastern sections of Grayson County, KY on the northern side of the town of Leitchfield, KY, near Clarkson, and is moving into Breckinridge and Hardin counties in KY and is moving northeast at 25-30 mph.

It has a history of putting down tornadoes downstate, KY.

It is in the process of cycling and restrengthening.

It is heading into Big Clifty, KY and Clarkson, KY near state Hwy 54 and along the Bluegrass Parkway.
