Severe T-Storms & Possible Tornadoes for the Plains

The number of tornadoes for this season is below average, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the near future.  On Wednesday, April 23, there will be a threat for tornadoes in the middle of the country. States that will be impacted include northern Texas and most of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. According to AccuWeather.com severe weather expert Henry Margusity, "The next round of severe storms will hit Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night. The impact of the storms will be tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds. Wednesday is the day when we may see over 10 tornadoes across the High Plains." Below is an image of where Henry Margusity is predicting the worst of the storms to occur. The brighter red color represents the highest probability for tornadic activity.



AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski says that "the stage is being set for violent thunderstorms to line the central and southern Plains later Wednesday afternoon and night, from Nebraska to west-central Texas."
Hopefully there isn't much of an outbreak of tornadoes on Wednesday, but even with strong storms, people need to monitor the latest weather alerts to make sure a strong storm doesn't become a tornadic storm. If there is a large outbreak, well, let's hope we don't see many more this year.
