Storm-Weary Oklahoma Faces New Tornado Risk

Oklahomans will get more bad weather as severe thunderstorms and tornadoes move through the beleaguered region, which is still struggling back to its feet after spates of deadly twisters hit it twice in recent weeks. Isolated tornadoes, along with damaging wind gusts, hail and severe thunderstorms, were possible in the east and south Plains and the Mississippi Valley on Tuesday and the south Plains and north Texas on Wednesday, Weather Channel meteorologist Kevin Roth said. There was also a tornado risk for Oklahoma City during the late afternoon and early evening on Tuesday, Roth said. The National Weather Service published a map that showed parts of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri had a slight risk of severe storms, while a large swath of the central and eastern U.S. at risk of thunderstorms.
