Hazardous Weather: Thunderstorms Expected Through Wednesday; Hail Possible

Supercell storms are singular storms that contain a central updraft and central downdraft and are the storms most responsible for severe weather; including tornadoes. “Severe thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of the dryline by mid-afternoon and into the evening”, according to the NWS. We also will have to watch for decent potential for a few tornadoes thanks to a large amount of wind shear and discreet nature of the storms. With our wind shear so abundant, I think there will definitely be a tornado threat across the entire viewing area for Monday afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center has placed eastern Arkansas under a slight risk for severe weather. Some rumbles of thunder possible, but severe weather is not expected at this time.

The rain and storm chances pick up on Monday.

Thunderstorms will be possible late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning across north central Kansas.

“A few elevated thunderstorms will continue to move across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas (Sunday) afternoon as a weak upper level disturbance moves across the area. Storms in this area may produce up to golf ball sized hail and microburst winds of 60 miles per hour”. In the Southern Hemisphere (South-West Indian Ocean), no development is expected over the next 5 days.
