Severe Weather Forecast: Weekend Severe Storm Threat in Central States

Here is the severe weather forecast for the next few days.

• Saturday: Isolated to scattered severe storms are possible from parts of the central Plains to portions of the Missouri Valley. Large hail and localized damaging wind gusts will be the primary threats from parts of northern Kansas and southeast Nebraska to northern Missouri and Iowa.
   
• Sunday: More widespread thunderstorms, possibly severe, from the mid-Mississippi Valley to the southern Plains. The threat area includes parts of Oklahoma, central and east Texas, Arkansas, southeast Kansas, Missouri and western portions of Illinois. As of now, this does not appear to be a major severe weather outbreak. Nevertheless, large hail and damaging winds are the primary concerns, though a few tornadoes are also possible. In addition, excessive rainfall could trigger some flooding from lower Michigan southwestward to southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois, southeast Iowa and northern Missouri.
   
• Monday: Lingering severe thunderstorms possible along the cold front in parts of the South. Locally heavy rain may trigger flash flooding, since much of this areas is still saturated from heavy rain earlier this week.
