An active weather day is in store for the Central and Southern Plains eastward to the Mississippi River today. An outbreak of severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes, including large and long-tracked tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds is expected to begin later this afternoon in portions of the Great Plains and move eastward as the day progresses. Thunderstorms are expected to develop over parts of Kansas and southern Nebraska this afternoon, with more storms developing late this afternoon and this evening over Oklahoma and Texas. These storms will move eastward into western Missouri, western Arkansas, and western Louisiana by tonight, with additional storms possible late in central and eastern Missouri.
Farther to the north over much of Nebraska eastward into Iowa and northern Illinois, heavy rain with localized flooding will be possible. Flood watches have been posted over parts of central Nebraska due to the expectation of heavy rains today. Heavy rain could reach Chicago by sunrise on Wednesday.
All of this will be moving to the east into the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys on Wednesday, bringing a chance of heavy rain to the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley and thunderstorms across the Mid-South and Tennessee Valley as well.
In Colorado and Wyoming, this same storm system will bring a chance of heavy snow to the Rockies and Front Range, particularly on eastern slopes above 6000 feet. Denver may also see some snow from this system before precipitation winds down.
In addition, windy conditions are expected from Mexico to Canada in the Plains and Rockies, with extremely dry air in New Mexico and West Texas aiding in bringing a higher fire danger to these areas, with fire weather watches and red flag warnings in effect today.
If you live in the Plains or Mississippi Valley, pay close attention to the weather today: especially this afternoon, evening, and into tonight.
just an update: Wall cloud in Ramona (south of Bartlesville). Rain coming down in buckets and windy in Tulsa.
This is F4&5 type stuff. Trying to find when expected to hit centex area: they claim later but it feels sooner.
Tornado warning NE Tulsa Co.
Tornado warning NW Rogers Co.
any Wichita Falls news yet ?
They *just this minute* changed the warning boxes to include centex. No word on Wichita Falls, that’s where you are?
Yeah, I saw Channel 6 talking about reflectivity/bowing signitures but they were not certain if it was hail or something more.
I’ve cancelled my day thusfar. Maybe I can make something of tonight, unless there are more storms coming out of the Rockies.
Not a lot on the radar yet. KLBJ just had a flash flood and tornado watch bulletin a few minutes ago and I got the same from the Austin Statesman.

where I’m from (Iowa Park actually)
Dude we are gonna get it (here I am over by Dell). Scroll up to the new advisory boxes, just updated. You at the Camp or lake?
Warmer temps give the system more energy, and that explains NE Texas is getting the nasty stuff OK usually gets this time of year.

I’ll never forget watching him once when they were showcasing dogs that needed homes. Right then and there the featured pooch sniffed Jeff in the you know where....it was so funny!
Are there hand pumps for 300’ deep wells?
Look like this kind of scatological question is a habit for you, based on your previous posts. You’ve got a strange obsession there. You’re fighting gallantly with your feminine side, no doubt.
u ain’t worth the time to type.........
