The Storm Prediction Center has issued MODERATE RISK of severe weather  for this evening and tonight across much of the Middle MS River Valley.  In addition, SPC has just issued a very rare HIGH RISK of severe storms and tornadoes across the Deep South for Saturday.  My thoughts on the risk for both days and where I think "Violent, Long-Track Tornadoes" will occur!
