I'm bored and I want to get doing to these so welcome.
Currently at the time of 5PM CDT 6PM EDT There is a line of tornado watches in effect due to a line of storms from Wisconsin to Louisiana, currently there have been 6 tornado reports, here is the Convective Outlook that was assigned for today updated at 2:45 PM.
DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0245 PM CDT MON OCT 13 2014
VALID 132000Z - 141200Z
...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI...ADJACENT NORTHWESTERN
ALABAMA...WESTERN TENNESSEE AND WESTERN KENTUCKY...
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS SURROUNDING THE MODERATE RISK
AREA...FROM CENTRAL GULF COASTAL AREAS NORTHWARD INTO EASTERN
ILLINOIS AND INDIANA...
...SUMMARY...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT
ACROSS THE LOWER AND MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND PARTS OF THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY...OHIO VALLEY AND GULF COAST STATES. WIDESPREAD
DAMAGING WINDS AND SOME TORNADOES ARE EXPECTED.
...20Z OUTLOOK UPDATE...
CATEGORICAL AND SEVERE PROBABILISTIC LINES HAVE BEEN
ADJUSTED...MOSTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE CONTINUING EASTWARD PROGRESSION
OF THE SQUALL LINE /NOW GENERALLY EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER/...AND RESULTANT DIMINISHING CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IN ITS WAKE.
AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE...SEVERE WIND/TORNADO PROBABILITIES HAVE
BEEN INCREASED NORTHWARD ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN ILLINOIS AND
WESTERN/CENTRAL INDIANA...AS FAR NORTH AS THE SURFACE WARM FRONTAL
ZONE. AT LEAST WEAK BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION IS ONGOING ALONG
THIS CORRIDOR...WHERE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES APPEAR LIKELY TO
BECOME STRONG TO EXTREME BY THIS EVENING...BENEATH SOUTHERLY 850 MB
FLOW STRENGTHENING FROM 50 TO 70 KT. OTHERWISE...AIDED BY INFLOW OF
WEAK TO MODERATE BOUNDARY LAYER INSTABILITY IN THE PEAK AFTERNOON
HEATING....SQUALL LINE INTENSIFICATION WITHIN A CORRIDOR ACROSS
NORTHERN/EASTERN MISSISSIPPI THROUGH PARTS OF WESTERN TENNESSEE AND
KENTUCKY IS STILL EXPECTED...LEADING TO INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND A FEW TORNADOES.
FOR MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER
POTENTIAL...PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST SPC MESOSCALE DISCUSSIONS AND
SEVERE WEATHER WATCHES.
..KERR.. 10/13/2014
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1134 AM CDT MON OCT 13 2014/
...LOWER/MIDDLE MS RIVER VALLEY TO OH/TN VALLEYS AND GULF COAST...
A COMPOSITE SQUALL LINE CONTINUES TO MAKE A SLOW/STEADY EASTWARD
PROGRESSION TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT MIDDAY...EXTENDING FROM
NEAR THE ST LOUIS AREA SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD TO FAR EASTERN AR AND
WESTERN/NORTHERN LA AS OF 16Z. WHILE CLOUD COVER REMAINS FAIRLY
EXTENSIVE AT MIDDAY WITHIN THE COLD FRONT/SQUALL LINE-PRECEDING WARM
SECTOR...AT LEAST SOME THINNING IS NOTED IN VISIBLE SATELLITE
PARTICULARLY ACROSS MS/WESTERN AL AND TN...COINCIDENT WITH
INCREASINGLY PREVALENT UPPER 60S/NEAR 70F SURFACE DEWPOINTS WITHIN
THIS CORRIDOR.
A DOMINANT QUASI-LINEAR/SQUALL LINE MODE IS LIKELY TO
PERSIST...PARTICULARLY GIVEN A TENDENCY FOR BACKING MID-LEVEL WINDS
/TO SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY/ THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THAT SAID...AT
LEAST SOME INCREASE IN LINE-PRECEDING STORMS IS EXPECTED WITHIN THE
WARM SECTOR GIVEN INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE/REDUCED
CONVECTIVE INHIBITION. EVEN WITH NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL VERY STRONG
SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ABOVE 3KM...ELONGATED LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS
WILL BE HIGHLY FAVORABLE FOR EMBEDDED BOWING STRUCTURES/LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATIONS CAPABLE OF CORRIDORS OF DAMAGING WINDS AND SOME
TORNADOES. THIS INCLUDES A CONDITIONAL RISK FOR ISOLATED SIGNIFICANT
EVENTS GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE LOWER TROPOSPHERIC WINDS/SRH.
REGARDING THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE SEVERE RISK INTO THE
MIDWEST...ONGOING STRATIFORM-LEADING CONVECTIVE BANDS OVER THE
MID-SOUTH WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD NNEWD WHILE THE LARGER-SCALE
COLLECTION OF BANDS TRANSLATES EWD THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS WILL OCCUR
AS A STRONG LLJ PRECEDING THE STRENGTHENING DEEP CYCLONE ENCOURAGES
AN INFLUX OF RICHER BOUNDARY-LAYER MOISTURE TO THE SE OF A
FRONTOGENETIC BOUNDARY BRANCHING NEWD FROM THE SFC LOW. AS A
RESULT...MIDDLE 60S SFC DEWPOINTS WILL ALLOW MARGINAL INSTABILITY TO
EXTEND NWD TO NEAR/JUST N OF THE I-70 CORRIDOR. INTENSE LOW-LEVEL
SHEAR BENEATH 50-60-KT H85 SLYS WILL BOLSTER UPDRAFTS VIA
STORM-SCALE DYNAMIC PERTURBATIONS...DESPITE LIMITED BUOYANCY...TO
THE NRN EXTENT OF THE SLIGHT-RISK AREA. CONVECTIVE MOMENTUM
TRANSPORT WILL AID IN THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED DMGG WIND GUSTS IN
BOWING SEGMENTS...WITH 30-35 KT OF 0-1-KM SHEAR YIELDING SOME
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW TORNADOES. THE SVR RISK WILL PRECIPITOUSLY
DECREASE WITH NWD DISPLACEMENT FROM I-70.
REGARDING LATE TONIGHT FOR THE CENTRAL GULF COAST/TN VALLEY...THE
LARGE-SCALE DEEPENING OF THE UPPER SYSTEM WILL BE RELATED TO A
MODEST SPATIAL EXPANSION OF STRONGER LOW-LEVEL MASS FLUXES
PERIPHERAL TO THE DEEPER SYSTEM. AS A RESULT...A STRONG
FRONT/SQUALL-LINE-LEADING LLJ WILL CONTINUE TO FOSTER AMPLE
GULF-MOISTURE TRANSPORT /UPPER 60S-LOWER 70S SFC DEWPOINTS/ THROUGH
TONIGHT. DIURNALLY ENHANCED CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EWD
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WHILE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP
NWD/NEWD ALONG CONFLUENT BANDS PRECEDING THE FRONT. THE LOW-LEVEL
BUOYANCY/SHEAR COMBINATION IS FORECAST TO REMAIN SUFFICIENT FOR AT
LEAST ISOLATED SVR STORMS...WITH DMGG WINDS AND TORNADOES POSSIBLE
FROM MIXED CONVECTIVE MODES INCLUDING DISCRETE/SEMI-DISCRETE
SUPERCELLS.
There has also been a Public Severe Weather Outlook issued at this time.

...Severe thunderstorms expected over parts of the mid-south and
lower and middle Mississippi River valley this afternoon and
tonight...
* LOCATIONS...
Mississippi
Western Tennessee
Western Kentucky
Western Alabama
Southern Illinois
* HAZARDS...
Several tornadoes
Widespread damaging winds
* SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are expected late this afternoon into
tonight across the lower and middle Mississippi Valley and parts

Widespread damaging winds and some tornadoes are expected.
Preparedness actions...
Review your severe weather safety procedures for the possibility
of dangerous weather today. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio,
weather.gov, or other media for watches and warnings. A tornado
watch means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form
during the next several hours. If a tornado warning is issued for
your area, move to a place of safety, ideally in a basement or
interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building.

This looks like a line of storms spreaded out due to a hurricane, I am unsure at this time.
