Major Tornado Outbeak for Southern Plains




A major tornado outbreak is expected in Oklahoma and Kansas later today. The ingredients are in place for long-lived tornadoes and large hail in this region.

Meanwhile, in Arkansas we'll see a mixture of clouds and sunshine this afternoon. Temperatures will head for the mid upper 80's. A few isolated showers or storms may develop late this afternoon and early evening but they should not be incredibly strong and no where near the degree of the storms in the sooner state.

Like the past several days, the intense thunderstorms will form into a line and head for Northwest Arkansas tonight.  At this stage of the game the storms will begin to loose some of their tornadic characteristics and likely produce more of a straight line wind/large hail threat.

Tomorrow, more severe weather will impact the state.  Tornadoes, large hail and gusty winds are all on the table.  For more information you can check out the video at the top of this post.

Have a great day and be ready for strong thunderstorms until Wednesday night.
