Residents in Houston are still recovering from the aftermath of a recent powerful storm that hit the area. Unfortunately, another severe weather system is forecasted to bring hurricane-force winds to the central United States, posing a significant threat to the region.
The weather forecast indicates that the upcoming days could see a series of severe weather events, with the potential for strong thunderstorms, winds reaching up to 60 MPH, hailstorms, and even tornadoes. Currently, there are reports of a tornado touching down on Interstate 70, moving at a speed of about 30 miles per hour. The storm is accompanied by baseball-sized hail, adding to the already dangerous conditions.
The risk level for severe weather is rated at four out of five for most of Kansas, signifying a substantial threat that could persist into the overnight hours. The tornado risk is slightly lower, rated at two out of five, but the presence of an already confirmed tornado underscores the potential for more to develop.
Hail is also expected to be a significant issue, with reports of hailstones reaching the size of eggs across the affected regions, extending into parts of Oklahoma. Residents in these areas are advised to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions as the severe weather situation unfolds.
The timing of the severe weather events indicates that while there are currently a few isolated cells, the situation is likely to escalate rapidly, with more storms expected to develop. Although there may be a brief lull in the weather tomorrow, the forecast for Tuesday suggests another day of intense activity, further emphasizing the need for preparedness and caution.
