A broad surface low centered near the east coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula of Mexico is producing widespread, but disorganized,
shower and thunderstorm activity. Environmental conditions
are forecast to become more conducive for development, and a
subtropical or tropical depression or storm is likely to form during
the weekend over the eastern or central Gulf of Mexico.

this warning was just re-aligned focused directly around that green dot. That's the area they think a tornado might be.
I don't know much about this stuff but I usually do know whenever they cover this on TV, they say the green shouldn't be touching the red like this.
If you're northeast of Fort Smith Arkansas, make sure you're in your safe place.
