Right now the GFS is tracking this next system (Wednesday) through basically the same regions that are under the greatest severe threat for Sunday and Monday.  On the north side of the storm here in Nebraska, we may finally get our first real snowstorm of the season.

The latest day 4-8 outlook from the SPC is keeping the same areas in the severe weather threat, maybe moved a little farther south (note that this is still a few days out and only the areas where they have decent confidence for that far away, it WILL change at least somewhat).  If you read farther into the text, although it is not painted on the map yet, there is a chance of a bigger severe weather outbreak next Wednesday somewhere in the central US.  I don't know if this will be as bad, but remember there was the big outbreak in early February (Super Tuesday) which led into a busy severe weather season, and La Nina looks to be strong again this year which is highly correlated with tornado outbreaks.  It may be another interesting spring/early summer.

Like I said, I'm just not sold on the severe weather threat..yet...I didn't say I'm calling it impossible.  I will say though that it looks like we'll have a warm front coming through, along which there is a small chance we may see some mini-supercells, in which case I would be sold on it.  It would be neat to see a tornado or two from one of these as long as they stay in fields where there are no crops right now anyway, February is the only month Nebraska has never had a reported tornado.

I would totally agree, if it ain't broke don't fix it.  The thing is, around here, there are already so many false alarm warnings that people never take them seriously, the idea is to reduce the number of warnings that are put out. 

However, I agree that if 3/4 inch hail is very dense and/or windblown, it could cause some damage.  Also, it is not something fun to drive in, and I have a feeling the media (radio) would basically ignore "severe weather alerts" and you wouldn't know it until you were driving in it.  There are several reasons this is quite controversial.
