An unseasonably strong [[tornado outbreak]] began on January 7, 2008, and continued for nearly four days across the [[Central United States|Central]] and [[Southern United States]], with the hardest hit area being southwestern [[Missouri]], northwestern [[Arkansas]], and the surrounding area. In addition, a strong supercell in northern [[Illinois]] and southeastern [[Wisconsin]] produced that region's first January tornadoes since 1967.<ref>{{cite news  | title = January Twisters Hit Southeastern Wisconsin  | agency = Associated Press  | date = January 7, 2008  | url = http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/13507322.html  | access-date = June 19, 2008  | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080117033944/http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/13507322.html  | archive-date = January 17, 2008  | url-status = dead  | df = mdy-all  }}</ref>
More tornadoes occurred across the [[Mississippi River|Mississippi Valley]] on January 8 and after a break in the activity on January 9, another round of severe weather took place in the Southern United States (primarily [[Alabama]] and [[Mississippi]]) on January 10. Several damaging tornadoes were reported that day, although no one was killed. A separate, unrelated EF1 tornado also struck the northern suburbs of [[Vancouver, Washington]]. In total, over the four-day period, 73 tornadoes were confirmed and four people were killed.
==Meteorological synopsis==
An unseasonably warm air mass was entrenched over much of central and eastern North America with record highs for much of the region. Several record high temperatures were broken across several states and Canadian provinces from January 7 to January 9 as temperatures rose into the 70s (21–25&nbsp;°C) as far north as the [[Ohio Valley]] with dewpoints in the high 50s and low 60s (14–17&nbsp;°C) providing additional fuel for storm development.
In addition, many areas near the [[Great Lakes]] region reached the mid to upper 60s (17–20&nbsp;°C) which allowed the northern cells to form, while several areas in southern Ontario and Quebec near the Canada-US border reached near {{convert|60|°F|°C|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thesudburystar.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=847974&auth=Harold+Carmichael |title=Ontario, CA |publisher=The Sudbury Star |access-date=January 1, 2012 }}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.timminspress.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=848344&auth=Chelsey+Romain |title=Timmins Daily Press – Ontario, CA |publisher=Timminspress.com |access-date=January 1, 2012 }}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

A strong [[low-pressure area]] over the central [[Great Lakes]] and its associated [[cold front]] combined with intense [[wind shear]] to provide a favorable environment for supercell development.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2008/day1otlk_20080107_1300.html |title=Storm Prediction Center Jan 7, 2008 1300 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook |publisher=Spc.noaa.gov |access-date=January 1, 2012}}</ref> Despite only moderate instability (which meant only a '''slight risk''' of severe weather was issued by the [[Storm Prediction Center]], and only modest probabilities for severe weather at first<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2008/day1otlk_20080107_1200.html |title=Storm Prediction Center Jan 7, 2008 0600 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook |publisher=Spc.noaa.gov |access-date=January 1, 2012}}</ref>), supercells developed throughout the day over much of the central US and continued throughout the evening and overnight hours, continuing into the morning of January 8. The hardest-hit area was in the [[Ozarks]], around [[Springfield, Missouri]], where nearly continuous supercells developed throughout the evening, resulting in numerous tornado touchdowns. In addition to the tornadoes, [[hail]] larger than baseballs and damaging straight-line [[downburst]] winds as strong as {{convert|100|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} were reported. At least three people were killed in Missouri as a result of the tornadoes. Two of these deaths occurred near [[Marshfield, MO|Marshfield]] and there were also six injuries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kmbc.com/news/14998696/detail.html |title=Cleanup After Fatal Mo.

Strong tornadoes also touched down further north near Chicago and Milwaukee causing extensive damage along the Wisconsin/Illinois border as well as several injuries. Strong cells and lines also formed in Michigan prompting rare tornado warnings across central parts of Lower Michigan.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://themorningsun.com/articles/2008/01/09/local/20080109-archive7.txt |title=Mt.

Activity shifted across the [[Mid-Mississippi Valley]] on January 8 where tornado watches were issued across [[Arkansas]] and Tennessee and later extended across the Ohio Valley to near [[Columbus, Ohio]] and [[Dayton, Ohio]] until the early morning hours on January 9. A strong tornado in [[Pope County, Arkansas]] killed person and additional tornadoes were reported just west of Memphis. During the day, most of the activity was formed into a line that extended from the [[Ohio Valley]] to [[Alabama]] although thunderstorm-related wind damage was reported as far north as upstate New York and western [[Pennsylvania]].

After a lull in activity on January 9, a separate system across the Southern United States led to more severe weather, including tornadoes, on January 10. A '''moderate risk''' of severe weather was issued by the [[Storm Prediction Center]]. Storms developed across [[Louisiana]] and [[Mississippi]] during the morning and noon periods moving into Alabama with additional storms developing as far north as central and eastern [[Kentucky]] where a tornado watch was issued stretching down towards eastern [[Louisiana]] and later into [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. Multiple strong tornadoes affected [[Mississippi]], [[Tennessee]], and [[Alabama]] that evening, including an EF3 tornado that severely damaged the town of [[Caledonia, Mississippi]]. More stable air farther east reduced the severe weather potential. In additions to these tornadoes, a rapidly advancing cold front moved into [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] generated a severe thunderstorm that produced a damaging EF1 tornado on the north side of [[Vancouver, Washington]] on the afternoon of January 10. In addition to the tornado, several funnel clouds were also reported in the area. Wintry weather including snow, sleet and freezing rain on the northern side of the storm was reported from Wisconsin to Maine on January 10–11. Overall, this outbreak sequence killed four people and injured at least 62 others.

Hundreds more trees were snapped and uprooted, some of which were [[hardwood]]s that were completely snapped off except for some large limbs and partially debarked. Several mobile homes were destroyed, and two homes built with wood frames and concrete blocks had almost all outer walls collapsed and roofs completely removed. A pickup truck was thrown nearly {{convert|150|yd|m}}, and further along the track, three high tension steel power poles were snapped off near their bases.

|A home, a shed, power poles and trees were damaged near the start of the path, and another shed was damaged and the [[combine harvester]] inside was thrown into some trees. After the tornado passed through a wooded area, eight well-built homes in a neighborhood were damaged, and about five sustained severe damage. The tornado then moved into the [[Caledonia, Mississippi|Caledonia]] school complex and reached maximum intensity. The press box and concession stand of a football stadium were destroyed, several metal power poles were bent, and several trees were knocked down. Cars were moved up to {{convert|100|yd|m}}, and some cars were flipped or had windows broken. Five school buses were destroyed, two of which were flipped over, and one was lifted up and ripped apart. The gymnasium and another building were nearly destroyed, with several vehicles landing inside them. Six homes sustained significant damage, mainly to roofs, as the tornado moved across the south side of Caledonia. A church was completely destroyed when the roof was lifted up and collapsed on the building, and another church had minor roof damage. Further along the track, tree damage occurred in a wooded area, and many more homes were severely damaged. Many hardwood trees were snapped, a few of which fell on cars and homes, and a horse stable was completely destroyed. Several mobile homes were also destroyed, a high tension metal truss tower was snapped, and cars were moved up to {{convert|50|yd|m}} in this area. The tornado weakened and continued to produce tree damage as it passed into [[Alabama]]. In Alabama, two homes were unroofed, two wooden barns were destroyed, and the foundations of two mobile homes were moved before the tornado lifted northeast of the town of Molloy. This was the third of three EF3 tornadoes produced by the same supercell. 15 people were injured.<ref>{{cite web|agency=National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Jackson, Mississippi|title=Mississippi Event Report: EF3 Tornado|url=https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/eventdetails.jsp?id=75528|publisher=National Centers for Environmental Information|year=2008|accessdate=March 8, 2016}}{{cite web|agency=National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Birmingham, Alabama|title=Alabama Event Report: EF3 Tornado|url=https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/eventdetails.jsp?id=76555|publisher=National Centers for Environmental Information|year=2008|accessdate=March 8, 2016}}</ref>
