A rare "high risk" has been issued for a severe weather outbreak that could produce numerous tornadoes, damaging hail and high winds in the Plains today, including near the Oklahoma City and Wichita, Kansas, metro areas. Supercell thunderstorms might produce intense, long-lived tornadoes and hail that's the size of baseballs or larger in some areas.
Not only that, the threat of dangerous severe storms from this weather system will also persist in the Plains, Midwest and South through midweek.
Monday-Monday Night: NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has highlighted parts of the central and southern Plains into the Midwest for severe storms that could produce large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes.
Of particular concern is a corridor from western and central Oklahoma into central and eastern Kansas, including Oklahoma City and Wichita. This is where strong to intense (EF2-EF3 or greater intensity) and/or long-lived tornadoes are possible, and that threat could last well into the nighttime.
SPC has issued a rare "high risk" severe weather forecast for parts of central Oklahoma and south-central Kansas to convey this danger. This type of outlook is only issued an average of two to three days each year.
These thunderstorms are expected to develop by late afternoon first as a swarm of supercells. By Monday night, this may become a line of thunderstorms that will sweep eastward into the Missouri Valley with damaging thunderstorm wind gusts and tornadoes.
