For educational purposes only. If you live in the affected areas, please stay tuned to your local National Weather Service office for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

A regional significant severe weather outbreak is expected today, focused on southern Kansas into central Oklahoma, where SPC has upgraded to a rare High Risk (level 5/5). Multiple discrete supercells are expected to traverse the High Risk area with an initial threat for large to giant hail before the low-level jet ramps up during the late afternoon/early evening. As this occurs, these supercells should begin to produce several long-track, strong to potentially violent tornadoes. Farther north, numerous severe storms are also expected, but a quick transition to a more messy, linearly organized complex is forecast to take place. Still, all hazards are possible, including a strong tornado or two and significant damaging winds.
