2 new slight risk areas have been added to the outlook per the latest update from the prediction center. The first new area will be over the southern states like Louisiana and Texas. No risk for tornadoes expected there. The second new area will be over the eastern areas of North Carolina. Again no tornado risk is expected. Tornado risk in the Dakota's has increased to a 5% range.
