Severe weather outbreak expected

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.

Idiot.

You might think differently if you were sitting under these storms. I have trees breaking in my yard as I type.

KOTV is saying +70 mph winds associated with this line.

Rain, hail, tornado, and now hurricane force winds.

Gotta love America ... we don't even need an ocean to get bad-a$$ winds.

Hey can we get free ATM cards and crap that they got in Katrina?

Now, run for the basement! Or, you'll end up riding your bike in the tornado!

What a nasty piece of work you are! I really feel sorry for any children you claim be glad2bdad too. Poor kids! You're hateful as well as being a pompous name-calling newbie.

Let it go. If you want any action you must speak with the mods. But I can’t imagine this thread being as important as the Sunday Morning Talk thread and other bits. Hey, Boris Yeltsin is dead still...wonder if was a nasty drunk or an alco-whore? DC may have a representative...

BTW, FOX News is currently showing a nasty wall cloud in OK City. But it’s not BREAKING NEWS, thank god.

Ya-free ATM but no lap dances. They are all reserved for me, by popular request...

Rich Moisture Inflow Continue Across Area.

I always want to say "sorry bout that" when points north of Houston get hammered. Very humid warm wind blowing north from down here feeding into the system.
