Other storms, however, are likely to develop across southwestern OK or northern areas of Texas and move northeast late tonight into pre-dawn Thursday morning.

Storms started rolling into the KCTV5 viewing area around 6 p.m. on Wednesday.

Oklahoma is looking at a multi-day severe weather outbreak. Damaging winds, large hail, isolated tornadoes are the biggest threats.

The details and potential threats of severe weather across Central Illinois will continue to be ironed out over the next few days. The chances of thunderstorms will increase on Wednesday and continue into Thursday as a slow moving storm system affects the region.

Sometimes, thunderstorms are even strong enough to produce weak tornado-like damage, always be prepared to move to a safe shelter if severe weather strikes.

Showers and storms are possible for 3 nights in a row, and may make up for a dry April and spring so far. Regardless of your exact location, widespread storms are likely as both a low-pressure system and a cold front pushes through Ohio. This means that a few more storms could be strong to severe, more numerous in central Missouri. The tornado threat will be slightly higher on Tuesday. Weather Eye Meteorologist Megan Mulford says the storms could bring several hazards. Cloudy, with a low around 70. The high will be near 81, with a south southwest wind of 10 to 16 miles per hour, gusting to as high as 25 miles per hour.

Total rainfall amounts will range from a half inch east of Austin, to two inches in the Hill Country.

Thursday, there is a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, the weather service said.

Saturday night, there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 25 miles per hour. Gusty winds will stick around through tomorrow with highs in the 70s to near 80 degrees. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the San Juan Mountains for 5-10 inches of snow in the mountains around Telluride, Lake City, and Ouray.
