Severe Weather Outlook for Today, Thursday, June 23, 2011



Above is the latest severe weather outlook for today from the SPC in Norman, OK.  Severe thunderstorms are possible anywhere within the yellow shaded areas on the above image.


Several clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop in the above areas this afternoon & evening.  Strong, possibly damaging winds and hail would be the primary threats, although isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out, particularly with any isolated storm that is able to become well organized in the first hour or two of development.


At this point it is difficult to pinpoint any one specific area that has a higher risk of any particular type of severe weather this afternoon & evening, so please remain alert if you live in any of these areas, and listen for later statements & possible warnings.


That portion of the risk area from southern Kansas into northern Oklahoma and adjacent portions of Missouri and Arkansas is really meant for the late evening and/or overnight hours tonight.  One or more clusters of strong to severe storms are forecast to develop near the Kansas/Oklahoma border after sunset and move and/or develop toward the Southeast overnight.  If this activity is able to become organized, damaging winds would be the most likely threat.
