Violent Storms, Tornadoes to Jar Texas to Nebraska

While remaining on a localized level through Tuesday, severe weather will ramp up across the Plains later on Wednesday. The stage is being set for violent thunderstorms to fire over the central and southern High Plains late Wednesday afternoon and evening, from Nebraska to west-central Texas. Many of the storms are forecast to ignite between Route 83 and I-35. Cities in the path of the outbreak of severe weather and the potential for a tornado include North Platte, McCook and Grand Island, Neb.; Dodge City and Russell, Kan.; Gage and Clinton, Okla.; and Childress, Abilene and San Angelo, Texas, late in the day. During Wednesday evening the cities of Lincoln, Neb., Wichita, Kan., Wichita Falls, Texas, and Oklahoma City will be at risk for violent storms, including the possibility of an isolated tornado. In addition to the tornado risk late in the day Wednesday into Wednesday evening, some areas may be hit with very large hail and damaging wind gusts.
While the risk of tornadoes will diminish later at night, lives could be put at risk during the first part of the night as the tornado risk carries over from the late afternoon and early evening hours.
All told through Wednesday night approximately 10 million people can be impact by severe weather over the Central states. The worst of the severe weather, at this point, is expected to remain to the north and west of Omaha, Neb., Dallas, Des Moines, Iowa, and Kansas City, Mo. However, these cities may still become the target of a gusty, drenching thunderstorm late Wednesday night.
"Wednesday will be a busy day dealing with a myriad of severe weather of all kinds, including large hail, high wind gusts as well as tornadoes," stated AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions Storm Warning Meteorologist Eddie Walker. People will need to keep up-to-date on the track and speed of the storms as they approach their location from the west through Wednesday night.
