HEADS UP! Severe storms and threat of tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds continues for the next few days in the Southern and Central Plains. As well as further East into MO, AR and IL later in the period. The Storm Prediciton Center Risk areas for 5/17 - 5/19 are outlined below, including Tornado risk with storms that develop today, 5/17, and tomorrow, 5/18. Along with the current severe risk area for Monday, 5/19.
The tornado risk with supercells developing today is more conditional, but they are still possible. I will be targeting any storms that can develop in the high instability East of the dryline, in the warm sector in NW to Central Oklahoma. The HRRR model guidance for convection is in the graphic below, showing what radar might look like at 7pm CDT this evening.
I will be busy in the field the next few days and will post updates when I can. As always, stay tuned to your local weather, weather radio and weather apps for real-time updates and warnings! Be prepared and STAY SAFE!
