Severe Weather Risk in Central US



Looks like today and tomorrow can produce some severe weather for parts of the United States. Severe storms are expected to develop over parts of the southern/central plain states to the Missouri Ozarks in the afternoon and evening hours.

Using the map above, made by StormTrackerWx lead meteorologist Jason Berry, It can be seen that possible tornado development in the marked areas are as follows:

Red or Moderate areas: 60%
Orange or Enhanced areas: 40%
Yellow or Slight areas: 20% or less

Wind and hail probabilities are summarized in the above map as well.

Locations expected to see the most severe storms are:

  • Southeast Kansas
  • Missouri
  • Northern Oklahoma
  • Western Illinois


These storms can bring large hail and damaging winds along with the development of several tornadoes. Other areas such as parts of Texas and northeastward into the Ohio Valley and Central Appalachians have the possibility to see strong to severe storms.

If you live in these areas please just keep a close eye on the weather and be ready to take action. Know your weather safety!

Check back tomorrow for another post summarizing tomorrow's severe weather outlook.
