And of course we are right in the thick of it. Make sure to charge your phones and check batteries in flashlights. It’s that time in Tornado Alley. Stay safe friends!
🚨 UPDATE: SIGNIFICANT SEVERE THREAT LATER this afternoon through the over night with storms capable of producing TORNADOES 🌪️ (some may be STRONG EF2), VERY LARGE HAIL🧊, and DAMAGING WINDS 💨 .
An UPGRADED corridor of tornado risk has been added this evening near the warm front across northeast Kansas into northwest Missouri.
A strong storm system and increasing moisture should create an environment favorable for SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS and SUPERCELLS later today (Friday) and tonight.
🌪️ Primary threats are:
• Tornadoes, including the potential for A COUPLE STRONG TORNADOES 🌪️
• Very Large Hail with the strongest storms 🧊
• Damaging Wind Gusts 💨
• Overnight QLCS Tornado Risk as storms organize into a line moving across Northeast Oklahoma and Missouri
📍 Greatest Tornado Potential:
The highest risk for strong tornadoes and very large hail will be across Eastern Oklahoma, Eastern Kansas, Western Arkansas, and Western Missouri.
Storms developing in this corridor may become discrete supercells capable of producing tornadoes and large to very large hail.
⏰ Timing:
• Late Afternoon: Storms begin developing across the Plains
• Evening: Greatest tornado and very large hail potential
• Overnight: Storms organize into a line of severe storms bringing damaging winds and possible QLCS tornadoes eastward
ℹ️ Farther north, storms may develop along a cold front and warm front from Iowa into Illinois, Indiana, and southern Michigan, where damaging winds, hail, and a few tornadoes will be possible.
Another area of concern extends from North Texas into Central and Eastern Oklahoma, where storms forming near a dryline could become isolated supercells capable of producing tornadoes and very large hail.
