the Southern Plains tonight...

Plains Saturday evening before shifting into parts of the
Mid-Mississippi/Ohio Valleys on Sunday...

Texas, the Gulf Coast, and southern Florida through Memorial Day...
The relentlessly active spring weather pattern is set to continue through
the holiday weekend as two separate systems are anticipated to be
responsible for numerous showers and thunderstorms across the middle of
the Nation. A low pressure system with an attached cold front extends from
the Upper Midwest to the Southern Plains and should maintain a focus for
showers and thunderstorms to develop. Along the cold front as it extends
southward, storms could turn severe from the Midwest to the southern
Plains. This same cold front could slow it's forward momentum and allow
for thunderstorms to potentially train over parts of, central-western
Tennessee, southwestern Kentucky, northwestern Alabama, southern Arkansas,
northwest Mississippi, northern Louisiana, and northeast Texas, leading to
the threat of scattered flash flooding. Elsewhere, scattered thunderstorms
may dampen outdoors plans throughout the Southeast and Tennessee Valley.
The next shortwave to eject out of the western U.S. and into the Great
Plains is expected to spark another round of severe weather Saturday
evening in the Central/Southern Plains. At the surface, low pressure
forming in the lee of the Central Rockies is forecast to lift a warm front
northward into the Central Plains and Mid-Mississippi Valley, while a
sharp dryline extends southward into the Southern Plains. These features
combined with a strengthening low-level jet will allow for storms to turn
severe, with a risk for large hail, intense rainfall rates, a few
tornadoes, and damaging wind gusts. The Storm Prediction Center has issued
an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) for severe thunderstorms across parts of
Kansas, Oklahoma, and western Missouri in order to highlight the threat.
As clusters of storms move eastward with the low pressure system on
Sunday, the flash flooding and severe weather will also shift into the
Mid-Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Tornadoes, hail, strong winds, and flash
flooding will all be possible. Residents and visitors located within the
threat for severe weather this weekend are urged to have multiple ways of
receiving warnings and to continue to check for the latest forecast.
