America’s tornado drought looks like it may end as early as this weekend, as a potent weather system moves into the Plains states and slowly lumbers toward the Mississippi River Valley. The storm system is likely to set off a multi-day severe weather outbreak, with thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes forming on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

If it occurs, the potential tornado outbreak would boost 2014’s tornado tally, which is currently in record low territory (http://mashable.com/2014/04/21/tornado-season-record-slow-start/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=), and could end the long stretch without a tornado-related fatality as well
