Wanted to start a thread on this. Looks like we are entering an active week for severe weather next week, the week of February 3.

 

SPC has 15% outlook areas for Days 5 (Tuesday), 6 (Wednesday), and 7 (Thursday) starting along the Arklatex on Tuesday, then moving into the Gulf states on Wednesday and Thursday. Could be an active week!

Pickens is a relatively small town in size, the tornado either passed VERY close to them or directly over them.
