It appears likely that a large region stretching from the southern Plains to the Southeast coast will experience a significant, if not major, outbreak of severe thunderstorms and potentially tornadoes over the next 36-48 hours. It has just recently got under way, with strong storms firing in southeast Kansas. Eventually, most of the states to our south will be affected by the severe weather. Click here to see the large area with a moderate risk of severe weather for Thursday.

This is all part of a large and powerful storm system moving east out of the Great Plains. It will bring heavy snow to the nothern Plains, Great Lakes and eventually parts of New England. Farther south, where cool, dry air and warm, moist air collide, abundant rainfall and thunderstorms will erupt. Strong winds aloft moving in different directions will cause some of those storms to spin, fueling the possibility of large hail, high winds and tornadoes.

For our area ... it just looks like quite a bit of rain, particularly Thursday night. Click here for projected rainfall amounts, as of this afternoon.
