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.

No. White Rock Lake. A small tornado touchdown was confirmed by NWS near John West and Buckner in East Dallas in the storm a couple Fridays ago.

Has the issue of the May ‘03 tornado in KS/MO been resolved as F-4 or F-5?

Thank you sleuth. They are in a 43’ motor home pulling a car which limits movement in tight places. I called to warn them and before we hung up - rain began to hit them. And she is terrified. They were here a week ago during a night time storm.
Prayers up for your own safety. Hunker down.
Expecting the bad weather here tonight.

Thanks for the ping. Looking across I-29 at KCI airport - it’s overcast and looks like it might rain soon - but due west of it, it looks kinda clear.

I’m listening to Dan Threlkeld...he’s talking to children that might be home alone...telling them to get in the safe place their parents told them about.

What ever happened to Jeff Lazalier?

Thanks Joe. We’re in St. Louis, so we have a little while to wait for the weather I think, but I’ll keep an eye on it.

I remember when Jeff did a cameo on the movie TWISTER

I googled his name and it seems Jeff got the acting bug after his cameo.

I saw him doing commercials selling cars on Saturday mornings.

I swear, that was the first time I noticed he wasn’t doing the weather anymore.
