Weather Decision Solutions – Severe Weather Discussion

Weather Decision Solutions will be closely monitoring the potential for a multi-day severe weather outbreak developing this weekend across the central Plains.

The initial focus for severe weather appears to be across:

• Kansas

• Oklahoma

• Possibly extending northward into Iowa

Thunderstorms in these areas may produce:

• Damaging winds

• Large hail

• Tornadoes

As we move into Monday and Tuesday, the severe weather threat is expected to expand, potentially covering a broad area from Minnesota all the way south into Texas.

Eventually, the storm system will push eastward, and by Wednesday some of this severe weather could spread into the Ohio Valley as well.

Bottom Line

• Severe weather outbreak possible this weekend into early next week

• Initial focus: KS, OK, and possibly IA

• Threats include tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds

• Severe weather zone may expand from Minnesota to Texas

• Storms could reach the Ohio Valley by Wednesday

Overall, this appears to be a prolonged severe weather setup, with multiple days of thunderstorm activity likely across a large portion of the central United States.
