AccuWeather meteorologists identified this area at risk for severe weather as early as last week. Thunderstorms will develop Thursday afternoon from northern Texas north through Oklahoma, Kansas, and far eastern Colorado, then track east Thursday night. Storms may bring large hail, flooding downpours, and damaging wind gusts with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ for winds of 85 mph. A tornado is possible with a stronger storm.
The threat of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes will expand from Texas to Illinois on Friday. AccuWeather meteorologists forecast a moderate risk for severe thunderstorms from eastern Oklahoma north through Iowa. These storms could bring the risk of large hail and tornadoes on Friday. Storms can also produce flooding downpours and damaging wind gusts, with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ for winds of 80 mph.
AccuWeather meteorologists expect this upcoming multi-day severe event to continue into the weekend and early next week. A new storm will organize across the Plains this weekend, which can lead to another round of severe weather breaking out Saturday over the central and southern Plains, as well as the Upper Midwest. As this second storm continues to strengthen and pull warm, moist air north from the Gulf of Mexico, the threat for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes will expand across a portion of the Mississippi Valley on Sunday. A severe weather risk may evolve on Monday across portions of the Ohio and Tennessee valleys.
