Widespread Severe Thunderstorms Expected Over The Southern Plains
The NOAA National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK, is forecasting the development of widespread, damaging winds, very large hail and tornadoes over parts of the southern plains today and tonight, March 19. The areas most likely to experience this activity include far southwest Arkansas, southeast Oklahoma and central into northeast Texas.
A powerful upper-level storm system over the inter-mountain west will shift eastward into the great plains today in conjunction with a surface cold front. A line of severe thunderstorms has developed since early this morning ahead of the cold front, and these storms are expected to continue across parts of Oklahoma and northern/western Texas with associated threats for damaging winds and large hail.
To the south of this thunderstorm activity, the interaction of moist and moderately unstable air mass with strong low and upper-level jet stream winds will create an environment favorable for intense thunderstorms, including supercells, across parts of central and northern Texas into southeast Oklahoma later today. Latest weather model data indicate that multiple waves of thunderstorms will be possible from this afternoon through tonight across this geographical area. Very large hail to baseball size or larger and widespread, damaging winds appear likely, along with the potential for a few tornadoes. This image was taken by GOES East at 1545Z on March 19, 2012.
