Severe Storms, Tornadoes Threaten Central and Southern U.S.
• Severe thunderstorms with potential tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and large hail threaten the central and southern U.S.
• High wind shear and instability may lead to supercells and squall lines, increasing the risk of long-lived tornadoes.
• Nighttime storms pose a greater threat due to reduced visibility; residents should have a safety plan and reliable weather alerts.
Powerful storm system moving across the region
The central and southern United States are bracing for severe weather as a powerful storm system moves across the region. According to MSN Weather, a strong cold front interacting with moist, unstable air is expected to trigger severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and large hail. States from Texas and Louisiana northward through Arkansas, Missouri, and parts of the Midwest are under heightened alert.
