A nearly stationary weather pattern is going to equal a busy, unsettled weather week for most of us east of the Rockies. First of several impulses is spinning around a cut-off upper rotation over the Plains. It his bringing a band of rain/showers from the Mississippi River eastward and I-70 northward, today. The next piece of energy will rotate eastward out of the 4-corners region on Wednesday and by late Wednesday evening will be making its way into southeast Kansas. This will set up for the potential of some strong and even severe thunderstorms Wednesday late afternoon through early Thursday morning from northeast Texas through northern Louisiana and northward through much of Arkansas, eastern Oklahoma, southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri. The highest likelihood for severe weather will be from the ArklaTex northward into southeast Kansas/southwest Missouri. A slight tornadic risk will exist initially as the severe weather begins but the main threat will quickly transition to damaging winds and hail. For this reason, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed this region of the nation under a “Slight Risk” of severe weather for Wednesday. Thursday…
Tornado season is upon us.
We’re swimming in SW Ne and look to be for the week. Hopefully the weekend will clear as they say.
I grew up in eastern Kansas and miss spring time on the Great Plains. Those towering thunderstorms were an awesome sight.
