Days of stormy weather across the southern Plains may have residents wishing for sunshine, but meteorologists say the week of active weather across the region isn’t over just yet.The week began with feisty storms that unleashed damaging winds and hail across the western half of the Lone Star State on Monday and spun up two EF0 tornadoes well southeast of Austin on Tuesday.Wednesday ushered in yet another round of strong storms from western Texas to southeastern Kansas. While Texas made it through Thursday unscathed by damaging storms, areas farther north weren’t so fortunate.Severe storms fired up from eastern Kansas to northern Illinois late Thursday and dumped flooding rain, hail and damaging winds across a wide swath of the nation’s midsection.
Friday is proving to be yet another active day with very moist air streaming into the region from the Gulf of Mexico.
“Friday started with heavy rain and thunderstorms pushing from southeastern Kansas to eastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas,” according to Meteorologist.”Flooding rain was the main concern on Friday morning as just a few of the thunderstorms turned severe,” she added. “However, severe weather will continue to ramp up through Friday night.””At the same time that severe thunderstorms erupt over southern Oklahoma, violent thunderstorms will fire along the dryline in western Texas late Friday,” according to Pydynowski. “These thunderstorms may then clash over central Texas early Friday night before tracking into southern and eastern Texas overnight.”
The main threats associated with any severe thunderstorm through Friday night will be large hail, damaging winds and even an isolated tornado or two. An AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 70 mph can occur in the strongest storms.
One person was injured on Friday just before 2 p.m. CDT when a roof was blown off of a barn, debris striking a passing car, according to a preliminary report from the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center.By 6:30 p.m. CDT, over 15,000 customers were experiencing power outages in Texas, according to PowerOutage.US.
Many cities from Oklahoma City to Dallas and even San Antonio and Austin, Texas, will be in the path of these severe storms. The line of violent thunderstorms is also expected to reach Houston by daybreak Saturday.By Saturday, the main weather threat for the Lone Star State will shift away from severe storms and focus on heavy rain.
Heavy rain and storms will sweep across southern and eastern Texas during the day Saturday and slowly spread north and east to reach portions of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana to end the day.
